I was hoping someone could help me out. I've written up some stuff for a new site, and its doing something I can't understand me.

Errr... apparently I'm not allowed to post URLs until I hit 15 or more posts... so if someone doesn't mind helping me figure it out, I would appreciate it and I'll somehow get you the link until I hit 15 posts.

I'm running into the issue that on IE7, the italicized portion seems to take the div its contained in and move them above any floating objects. In IE6, it seems to break the top 2 parts. It works perfect in Mozilla (yeh Mozilla!).

Anyone have any thoughts to it? Maybe some advice? And in peoples experience, is it worth double checking for computability on older browsers like IE6? What browsers are used most?

Appreciate it. Thanks!

You can still type your URL, like www dot mysite dot com, and we'll be able to look from there.

These two thingers definitely don't jive well together:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Personally, I'd start by switching your doctype over to XHTML 1.0 (transitional or strict, your choice).

Keleth · 11-03-2008, 16:50

Hm... Normally I used 1.0, stupid Dreamweaver autostuff.... But yah, I'll swtich that to transitional, thanks.

And the weather sucks right now, its overly windy.

Welcome to the forums, m8. Good on ya for not spamming your way to being able to post a link.

CSS only hates those who use tables for layout. Lol.

Actually, all he has to do is leave off the "http://" and/or the "www."

Everything else is fine.

Keleth · 12-03-2008, 01:09

Well, I switched to 1.0 transitional, no help.

And I refuse to use tables.

As far as the compatibility testing question you posed at the end. It's always worth testing back to IE6. If all were right in the world and everyone upgraded to IE7 then we'd be fine, but that isn't the case.

When I do my testing, I typically test IE6/7, Mozilla, Firefox (Current build and 1 previous, Mac and Windows), Safari (Mac and Windows), and Web Kit (Mac).

I cannot posts links yet either but here is a link from the w3 Schools that should show you some stats on browsers.

The IE6 issue is fairly easy to fix with some proper margin/padding adjustment. The IE7 problem is more troublesome...

Sounds like one of the anti gunner slogans. In my most redneck accent:

"CSS don't kill people, people kill people"
