foreverhex Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 ok, maybe you guys can see something that I cant. Its driving me crazy. When you look at [url=http://www.syblings.net/news.php]www.syblings.net/news.php[/url] with Firefox it looks great, dandy, perfect. When you look at it in IE the top part is disjointed and funked. I cant figure out why, so maybe some one else can, thx. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14342-problem-with-cross-browsers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel0 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 It's because IE is broken ;) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14342-problem-with-cross-browsers/#findComment-56632 Share on other sites More sharing options...

obsidian Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 one of the best practices you can get into with CSS is to have a:[code]* {margin: 0;padding: 0;}[/code]as the very first assignment in your file. that forces IE to render no default margin or padding that it applies usually. the only downside to that is that YOU have to determine what every bit of spacing on your site will be. this simple adjustment often helps with layout issues between FF and IE.

foreverhex Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I gave that a try and nothing seemed to change. Did you want me to place that code in literally? Because thats what I did. I also checked to see if all my margins and padding were right and they all seemed to be ok.

johnnyk Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 I found your problem. Look at line 311:(lines 307-319)[code]<td align="right" width="10" height="156"><img src="/images/tippytopr.gif" border=0 align="right" width="10" height="156"></td></tr></table> <--311</td></tr><tr><td valign="top" width="184" height="35"><img src="/images/tippytop4.jpg" width="184" height="35" alt="">[/code]You closed the table early. Take it out and it should look better.So I guess it's not really an Internet Explorer problem, but let's blame it on IE anyway, because it's evil.

IE often interprets white space around images with line breaks and other nonsense, too.

foreverhex Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 Yeah i am using embeded tables with in tables. I hope that isnt a problem, because I use that alot. Ill go through and make sure that I dont have pointless spaces and what not. Also what you cant see in the html code is that there is a php line in there, where the login form is. Do you think that could be why? its just a simple switch. It checks if the user is online if not the login menu shows (what you all seen) and if they are the cpanel options come up instead.UPDATE: That didnt seem to work. Im thinking of redoing and analyzing it on IE then worring about it of FF. It seems to be easier to fix anything on FF than IE. Any other suggestion?

johnnyk Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 I never realized how much I hated IE until I was doing alot of CSS work. I hope IE7 is just as bad, cause if it is IE is gonna be done soon.

foreverhex Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 I heard that IE 7 is converting to a tabbed browser, hahaha the little man did it first!

obsidian Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 yes, they've definitely gone to tabbed browsing. have you tried the beta? it's actually a decent browser (as much as i hate to say it). it's definitely much more compliant, and although it still has its quirks, it supports some of the CSS2 attributes like min-height that IE6 doesn't.
