Thread: Section of site not showing up

  1. #1

    Section of site not showing up

    www.kentuckygolfing.com

    I seem to be having all sorts of trouble with IE. For some reason, the "recent pictures" section at the bottom left is not showing at all in IE. I originally thought it may be because I didn't have a width, but I have a width and still no go. I haven't really tried anything else because I don't know where to begin. Anyone push me in the right direction?

    Two of your span elements aren't closed. When I looked at it in Firefox and did find "span", the find next jumped to the open span. This might be part of your problem.

    I use IE 6 and your site displayed the same in both IE 6 and Firefox.

    Really? I'm using IE 6 and FF also and they are both different. So are you seeing "Recent Pictures" at the bottom left in IE 6? That's what I'm not seeing on my side in IE. I'll check out the spans and see what that does.

    EDIT: Fixed the spans, still no go. hmmmmmm....

    I always find that checking my sites through a validation Service helps me to fix any problems which I can't figure out.

    You still have a couple of vailidation errors which may (I haven't checked them) be causing you problems.

    Thanks for pointing out the errors. I always forget about the validator for some reason. You'd think that would be my first place to look.

    Anyway, I havn't fixed the errors yet, but have fixed the problem. The problem was coming from the comments I had in the html to separate each section. I originally had regular comments and it was making a duplicate character bug in IE and then was told that using conditional comments would take care of that so I did, and it started causing the whole section to not show! Ahh..I with IE would just fall off the face of the earth sometimes.

    Thanks

    I don't know what you did, but now you have 4 validation errors instead of two.

    You have some anchor elements that are missing their end tag.

    I see the difference now. The pictures are missing in IE 6. You really gotta watch that slice!

    In your css you have a "p.clear: class. However the "clear" property can only be used for block level elements and not inline. Paragraphs are inline elements in the visual formatting model.

    I also think that your numbers aren't adding up. I think that adding your width properties, your left & right margins and left and right paddings may be what's pushing your left float too far left. You also need to remember that unless you declare a border: none for IE, it assumes a one pixel border. In other words, I think maybe you need to restructure your box model.

    I think maybe you were checking the validator at the same time I was updating the site, lol. There should be no errors now.

    Ah yes. Thanks for pointing that out. That p.clear attribute actually wasnt' doing anything. It was left over in the code from something else I was working with when I started designing the site. To clear the floats I actually used option 2 at this site: http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=ClearingSpace which seems to be working fine.

    Thanks for you help. Oh, and let me know if you're still getting 4 errors...shouldn't be.

    I could not live without "HTML Validator for Firefox and Mozilla"

    All you have to do is look at the taskbar for warnigs and errors. Saves me from having to check it online somewhere.
