IE weirdness in 4.31

[ccordes]

My app works fine for the most part in FireFox but in IE everything is right-justified!
This includes whole tables and menus.
And the Next/Previous buttons don't work but I think that is a different problem.

I looked in my css but find nothing that says right justify

tia,

Hi Chris,

Is the site visible from here?
It might be a setting in your browser.

Cheers

I think you should be able to get in.
Check your email.
Funny thing is that the same thing happened on the live site and on a standalone demo site.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, if you feel comfortable sharing the site info, maybe we could help. Could it be you've set a table width too wide or something? The fact the next buttons don't work indicates to me there is HTML code somewhere on the page that is not XHTML compliant.

Also, are you using the Firebug page debugger in FireFox? I know your problem isn't with FF, but you can still learn a lot from using it.

Hi Mike,

I have found that I exceeded the size limit in one of the html routines in my header. This truncated an anchor at the <a .
Fixing that did not fix the problem, though, so now I am fixing the warnings that firebug finds in the css and js files.
This is tedious but I think it is the only way to do it. I think I have a missing ending div tag.

As much as I would appreciate an extra set of eyes, I am unable to post the site address here because of confidentiality issues.  Can I email you directly?

Sure, you can email me, my address in my profile. Interesting that you exceeded the header. I think I may have the same problem. Do you mean the length of the string? I'm having a </div (with no end tag) showing up in a text box, and maybe I've exceeded something. Can you ellaborate?

I designed the header stuff using other tools (webbuilder) Then I copied the html into the xHTML text box in the template.
Save, compile, test. Problems.
I go back to the embed and a whole bunch of the code is missing.
I split it up into several different routines to fit it in.
Missed some stuff in between. Ack.
deleted those. leave one with a comment tag as to what it is and added all the HTML in the end of routine embed. That worked for the header.
Now I think that is what i have to do for the rest of the page. I noticed last night that my copyright notice is now inside the form.
That's the main problem in building in disconnected little chunks - its very easy to misplace or forget how your tags are nested.
