Browser Compatible problems?
Hi guys,
I am trying to make a side navigation on the right side of the page.
When I saw the result is totally fine but when I open it using the internet explorer is became weird.
All of my side navigation bar is falling to the bottom of the page and all the text from the side navigation is became bold.
any solution for this problem?
is there some compatible browser problem?
Since I am quite new with the text pattern.
Where I can edit the html codes? and can i use different type font type?
thanks

Re: Browser Compatible problems?
Do you have a link to the page in question? It would be to look at the code.
As far as editing the HTML code: in the admin area, go to presentation>pages and choose the page you want to edit. You may also go to the css page in the same section, and clicking the style tab.
Just make sure the page you are editing is the one being used by textpattern for that section of your site. You can check this in the sections area.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ritchie

I tried to fix it but again when I open it at Internet Explorer, the same thing happens again :(
I can give you the link through private message coz I am not that comfortable with my site on public.

Re: Browser Compatible problems?
OK, well it’s really hard to debug without a website, since there is a multitude of bugs in IE. It might be a source order issue or something else too.
- What version of IE? 6,7?
- Have you cleared your cache in IE? Sometimes Ctrl+F5 will do it, other times you’ll need to delete cookies and temp files (either manually or use CCleaner)
- Does your CSS validate?
- Does your HTML validate?
- Does it look the same in Gecko browsers (Seamonkey,Firefox, and so on), Safari and Opera? If so, then it probably is a bug in IEx.
- Are you using conditional comments to send IE a specific “fixes” stylesheet? If not, it’s probably a cascading issue (your ie css is being ignored due to selector specificity and placement).
Try the IE Dev Bar. The DOM inspector is the closest to Firefox’s web developer toolbar, in that you can edit CSS.

Re: Browser Compatible problems?
hey jm thanks for the reply! :)
be honest with you this my first time using the text pattern thats why i am still trying to adapt with it + it snot only me who make the style sheet.
okay my check list:
1. IE 7?
2. Yup, tried that too
3.No
4.No
5. I tried using firefox, safari, camino, and sea monkey. Its looks the same.
6. I don’t think we using the conditional comments
7. okay I will try this one.
I am just wondering is that really help having validation on html and css?
okay the website is alpinainternational.com and the one that I am having problem is under executive training.

Re: Browser Compatible problems?
update:
okay i tried to validate every single of the page.
Only the executive training is the one that I couldn’t solve it.
I tried to find any div tag that I didn’t closed but I jusat can’t find it :(
plus I tried to put css code for letter spacing and I dunno why its don’t work out too.
This is what the validator result:
Below are the results of checking this document for XML well-formedness and validity *1. Error Line 143 column 6: end tag for “div” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified. </body> You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to “self-close” an element, that is, ending it with “/>” instead of “>”. *2. Info Line 10 column 0: start tag was here. <div id=“wrapper”>Last edited by Arch_Angel (2006-10-31 05:16:31)

Re: Browser Compatible problems?
If you are on a windows box I highly suggest looking at your code with notepad++ if you save your page to your drive as htm or html and opern it with notepad++ there is a handy little function that collapses container elements one by one. It will help you find the missing /div. If your page is complicated start commenting your /div’s with the name of the element they are closing so you can keep track easier of where your container blocks start and stop. That’s what I do and it tends to make coding long pages less frustrating.
