Help with code for IE7...please!!!

steonkeys · November 13, 2007

Hey i wonder if you can help me.

I've got a website that works fine in any browser, apart from IE7! basically i've got a menu bar across the top which is nice and thin, but in IE7 - it's chunky!!

www.gahp.co.uk/ilc/ilc.php

(this is just a holding site for it)

Now I've heard that IE7 have decided to tighten up on the standards, so things work properly, but I haven't got a clue on how to change the code to make it work.

The code for .../ilc.php is as follows.

<?php include("header.php"); ?>

<p class="text">Welcome to the Work Place website. This website has been set up to promote, and to answer any questions about the Work Place. The site is still under construction and is updated regularly.</p>

<p class="text">School site visits can be arranged through Pauline Vipond, Durham EBP

<br>01740 652681</p></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td bgcolor="#070F72"></td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

code for header.php

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

<title>The Work Place</title>

<style type="text/css" media="screen">

@import url("./menu/menu.css");

body {

background-color: #070F72;

}

a:link {

color: #99FF33;

}

a:visited {

color: #33CC66;

}

.ilc {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 40px;

color: #33CC66;

font-weight: bold;

}

.text {

font-size: 18px;

color: #FFFFFF;

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}

.title {

font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

color: #FFFFFF;

font-size: 36px;

}

</style>

<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript" src="menu/mm_css_menu.js"></script>

</head>

<body>

<table width="100%" height="99%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>

<td width="6%"> </td>

<td width="9%" rowspan="3" valign="top" bgcolor="#E97912"><img src="images/the_work_place_logo.jpg" alt="logo" width="155" height="309" /></td>

<td width="85%"> </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td height="59" bordercolor="0" bgcolor="#9FDC00"></td>

<td bgcolor="#9FDC00"><div align='center'><?php include("menu.php"); ?></div></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td height="350" rowspan="2"></td>

<td rowspan="2" align="center" valign="top"><p class="title">Who else will be in the Work Place?</p>

<table width="100%" border="0">

<tr>

<td width="2%"></td>

<td width="96%">

and menu.php is just some java to create a drop down menu.

Please can anyone shed some light on how to make it work perfectly? I've downloaded that latest version on dreamweaver, and it converts it to tight standards - but just screws the page up. It's really really getting on my nerves!!!

secondary question on the side - I'm not really wanting to pay £400 for the latest version of dreamweaver - so can anyone recommend another program?

you can try to find a way to fix it via CSS and just place this in your head section,

<!--[if IE7]>
<style type="text/css">
/* YOUR CSS FIX HERE */
</style>
<![endif]-->
