Web Development

Hello, first off let me introduce my self as I believe this is my first post My name Daniel, im 20 years old and I've been self teaching myself since i was 12 or 13. Cross browser issues have just recently started being a problem now that im trying to make a way living by it, but I have fixed most of them with satisfaction except this one The site is Resolution redirection The footer is where I am running into problems. In firefox it displays fine, but when I view it IE its all over the place. I dont understand how they interpret the code specifically to their browser. I have attached a txt of the footer code. Any ideas, suggestion or redirection is greatly appreciated.

According to statistics, this is not your first post here. But anyway, welcome.

At the bottom I noticed you have a row with very large "colspan" - 29 in total but I fail to count that many at other rows. Are you sure that is correctly computed? If columns are not counted accurately your table-based layout may mess-up, and that is sort of expected

Oh by the way, you should specify 'px' explicitly in CSS style properties. Otherwise that is incorrect by standard and may be rejected by some browsers as invalid (that may cause the entire style declaration to be skipped if done the strict way).

I recommend you also enclose the attribute values in quotes in HTML. While for plain HTML it is not necessary, you should try to do this to move closer to XHTML, that by XML specification requires all attribute values enclosed.

I'm not on a Windows computer so I cannot confirm what your page looks like on IE. My recommendation is, first fix your HTML and CSS so that they are all valid first, then cater for cross-browser rendering issues. That way it would be easier to fix specific issues. IE in particular does not have great debugging support builtin, so it is particularly difficult to spot coding issues.

Hahah *short memory* Must've been a while ago. Hmmm, I have fixed the CSS (px) issues, and the quoting HTML attributes for future us of XHTML. Also, I have ajusted the colspan attribute, sometimes i get a little messy :P, so now there should be 11 coloumns on every row. These have not fixed my problem, but good to know for prevention measures and I'll continue immplementing it to the rest of the site, also keeps everything uniform instead of some quoted and some not :P Thanks
