Web Design Help?

moditup · March 25, 2006, 07:24:18 PM

Anyone here in the web design field? I've been working on a website for my mom, and I can do all the backend programming, like the PHP, python, perl and all that jazz that starts with 'p', but not the CSS. Well I can sorta do it.. I made this website that looks good in FireFox, Safari, just not IE. Can anyone here that has any experience help me out?

Here's the site: http://www.diasol.com/misc/newsite Open it in IE and FireFox and you'll see what I mean.... The css file is at http://www.diasol.com/misc/newsite/data/main.css. It has something to do with the padding and margins, but I can't get any further than that.. If I fix it in IE, it gets goofed in FF. Damnit.

Thanks... btw if I get this finished, it would majorly help in my convincing of my parents to let me get a bike, then I wouldn't be a nood, just a noob. I was offered a 98 for $1000 today, and they still wouldn't. I'm dying here....

It's been a while since I've messed with this so I probably wouldn't be of much help. But if you can post your style sheet on here it'll be easier for someone to take a look at it. Also here's a forum that will definitely be able to help you...

Also read the following below. You forgot to close the last <div> which may be causing the problem.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Here's some errors picked up through the W3C markup validation service...

1. Error Line 1 column 0: no document type declaration; implying "<!DOCTYPE HTML SYSTEM>".

<html>

The checked page did not contain a document type ("DOCTYPE") declaration. The Validator has tried to validate with a fallback DTD, but this is quite likely to be incorrect and will generate a large number of incorrect error messages. It is highly recommended that you insert the proper DOCTYPE declaration in your document -- instructions for doing this are given above -- and it is necessary to have this declaration before the page can be declared to be valid.

✉
2. Error Line 7 column 42: required attribute "ALT" not specified.

<div id="header"><img src="img/header.jpg"></div>

The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.

Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.

✉
3. Error Line 23 column 12: start tag for "LI" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this.

<ul><center><u>Product Menu</u></center>

✉
4. Error Line 42 column 39: required attribute "ALT" not specified.

<img id="corner" src="img/rounded.jpg">

✉
5. Error Line 50 column 49: end tag for element "BR" which is not open.

...it, we ship it. It's that simple.</br></br>In our six years of producing Dias

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occured in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

7. Error Line 60 column 6: end tag for "DIV" omitted, but its declaration does not permit this.

</body>

* You forgot to close a tag, or
* you used something inside this tag that was not allowed, and the validator is complaining that the tag should be closed before such content can be allowed.

The next message, "start tag was here" points to the particular instance of the tag in question); the positional indicator points to where the validator expected you to close the tag.
