Only works in IE7?

Bootup05 · 11-13-2006, 10:41 PM

Hi peeps,

Having a bit of a problem ATM.

I have decided to use a Dreamweaver CSS template as the design for my site, as I am having problem with updating links in site roots of the dtm files in dreamweaver.

The problem is I can only get it displaying right in IE7, in IE6 and Firefox 1.5/2 it just comes up as a bundled load of garbage.

Im hoping that someone on here know's what the problem is, I assume I just need to code it differently to get it working in all browsers.

Anyone know how I can do this, its starting to bug me now as I have been sitting here for hours designing the page, to then find out that other browsers dont support the formatting.

This is the plain template on its own

Sorted now

Thanks

Jason
All replys are greatly appreciated!

Hey bootup05, I will look at this when i get home tonight i dont see any thing strange in there or anymissing things but with the naked eye it can be tough. You are not using any IE hacks are you? Its strange it would work in IE7 and not firefox considering firefox usually works and ie doesnt hmm

[-0MEGA-] · 11-14-2006, 02:49 PM

I'm not sure what you mean, I copied that code into FrontPage, and it looks exactly the same in IE7 and FF2.

You should check this out if you wish: http://www.htmlvalidator.com/lite/

Bootup05 · 11-14-2006, 03:03 PM

Thats codeman its greatly appreciated

[-Omega-] do you have any plugins in firefox?

Because here's how it shows in mine

IE7

Firefox 2 (also does it in 1.5)

Someone has also tryed it in I.E6 for me and said it doesn't work with that either

I would of thought, as the Dreamweaver 8 templates were designed around the time IE6 was out, they should surely have no faults, but that doesn't seem to be the case over here

[-0MEGA-] · 11-14-2006, 03:10 PM

Oh nvm, I thought thats how it was suppose to look.

What appears in FF for you, appears in FF and IE7 for me.

Bootup05 · 11-14-2006, 04:19 PM

Sorted it out now, I didnt have any of the langauge folders in the apache folder

Strange how it worked on your system though geoff

Tryed it on the dell aswell and it didnt!

Hi guys, Am sorry am new in web desiging.

I am designing a personal website. It looks fine when I view from internet explorer v6.

But when I preview it in other web browsers like Opera and Mozila in the same computer, the cells don't line up like in ie6... when I zoom out they come to a good position but when I zooin everything remain in its size and cells only is zoomed.

I dont know exactly to do.

How do I Solve this problem?

I'll be happy to solve this problem.

I'm using FP 2003

ASRock
P4VM8
Intel P4, 3.0GHz,
1.25Gb of RAM DDR
40GB x 4 Hard disk space
1280 x 1024, 32bit
