php include problem?

[damian0612]

Can someone please explain how I can fix a problem I have.  I have a page where I have a php include which is for a search menu at the top of a page under a header.  The code works perfectly when viewed on firefox but it displays totally wrong on IE and I'm stumped as to why.  I'm not sure if it is a problem with my php include, html or css.  Here is the page:

 

www.mo-ait.com/testpage.php

 

Here is the html:

 

<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<a href="/" id="logo"><img src="/images/header2.jpg" height="100px" width="900px" border="0"/></a>
</div>
<div id="search_container">
<?php
require_once ("mysearch.php");
?>
</div>

 

here is the php include file:

 

<div id="search_left">

<?php

$quer2=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT category,cat_id  

                    FROM cardlist

                    ORDER by category"); 



$cat=$_GET['cat'];  

//This line is added to take care if your global variable is off 

if(strlen($cat) > 0 and !is_numeric($cat)){ 

//check if $cat is numeric data or not. 

echo "Data Error"; 

exit; 

} 

if(isset($cat) and strlen($cat) > 0){ 

$quer=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT subcategory  

                FROM cardlist where cat_id=$cat  

                ORDER by subcategory"); 

}else{$quer=mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT subcategory  

                         FROM cardlist  

                         ORDER by subcategory"); } 

echo "<table><tr><td>";

echo "What's it for? </td><td>";

echo "<form method=post name=f1 action=''>"; 

/// Add your form processing page address to  

//action in above line. Example action=dd-check.php//// 

////////// Starting of first drop downlist ///////// 

echo "<select name='cat' onchange=\"reload(this.form) 

\"><option value=''>Select one</option>"; 

while($noticia2 = mysql_fetch_array($quer2)) { 

if($noticia2['cat_id']==@$cat) 

{echo  

"<option selected value='$noticia2[cat_id]'>$noticia2[category]</option>"."<BR>";} 

else{ 

echo "<option value='$noticia2[cat_id]'>$noticia2[category]</option>";} 

} 

echo "</select>"; 

echo "</td><td>";

////////////////// This will end the first drop down list /////////// 

echo "</td><td>";

echo "Who's it for? </td><td>";

////////// Starting of second drop downlist ///////// 

echo "<select name='subcat'><option value=''>Select one</option>"; 

while($noticia = mysql_fetch_array($quer)) { 

echo "<option value='$noticia[subcategory]'>$noticia[subcategory]</option>"; 

} 

echo "</select>"; 

////////////////// This will end the second drop down list /////////// 

// add your other form fields here ////  

echo "<input type=submit value=Submit>"; 

echo "</form>";  

echo "</td></tr></table>";



			echo "</div>";

			echo "<div id='search_right'>";

			echo "<form name='myform2' action='/search.php' method='GET'>";

echo "<input name='search_all' input type='text' value='search'/>";

echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit'/>";

echo "</form>";

			echo "</div>";

?>

 

and here is the css:

 

div#search_container{background-image:url(/images/header.jpg);
margin-top:-5px;line-height:40px;padding: 0;valign:top;}
div#search_left{float:left;margin:10;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;valign:top;}
div#search_right{float:right;margin-right:10px;color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;valign:top;}

 

Would appreciate any help at all on this, thanks

You display problems on IE are to do with your CSS.

 

Specifically having floating divs in a non floating container.
