Working HTML code gets f**ked up in PHP with IE in Compatibility Mode

[AntoLeNice]

Hi there !

 

I'm working on a website, and when I open it in HTML on IE 8, it works. In compatibility mode, it works.

 

BUT, when the file in integrated in PHP, IE in Compatibility mode will destroy the hell out of it.

 

Here is the link if you want to see for yourself: http://giteaux4vents.ca/index.php

 

Does anybody know why that would do that ??

 

Thanks, Anto

Try making it valid xhtml code first.

 

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fgiteaux4vents.ca%2Findex.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

 

For example, you put a lot of html inside <ul>, but not inside a <li>.

Hi dcro2,

 

thanks for answering so fast.

 

It is true that these ul/li errors could eventually create an error, but the fact it, if the page is in .html without any PHP code, it always works even in compatibility mode. When integrated it PHP, that's when the problems shows up in compatibility mode on IE. I will try to fix the list errors, but could that be anything else ??

 

Thanks, Anto

Display thing shave nothing to do with php at all.

 

The best thing you can do is validate the page.

It may have to do with the encoding that php sends the html in, etc. But you really should make it valid first. Did you just basically paste the html code into a php file or is something in there now generated by php?

Make sure you are using the correct DOCTYPE declaration... IE is the most picky about this and how it renders your code.

 

I just spent a week redoing alot of code and found that fixing the DOCTYPE was the main culprit the whole time.
