PFMaBiSmAd Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The page contains 26 HTML markup Errors and 10 warnings - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webidsupport.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 and 12 CSS errors and 70 some warnings - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.webidsupport.com%2F&profile=css21&usermedium=all&warning=1&lang=en Your page must validate without any errors before you can even think about how it looks in different browsers.

webmaster1 Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 EDIT: Didn't realize this was solved. Ignore. Ouch, it looks nasty in IE6. The validation errors don't appear to be directly affecting the layout. How confident are you that this isn't just a regular cross-browser rendering issue? I suggest that you sequentially <!-- comment --> out each section of the index until you can isolate when and where the layout anomalies are occurring. After that it's simply a case of trouble-shooting why IE isn't listening to your specific styling (CSS). I know way too many folks that give up debugging cross-browser layout issues. Take the time to thoroughly debug using the <!--comment--> approach as suggested.

webmaster1 Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Don't worry. If IE6 passed me on the street I'd punch it in the face too.
