I prefer XHTML strict, but most of the content will
be output by someone else's PHP. I'm not sure he
really needs Transitional, though, as I have already
seen some [br /] tags.
ISTM that for a minimal test case, you could turn off the JS and omit the Google ads and their iFrames. Simplfying is usually a good step in debugging.
Well, I started simple, and added on. It was _not_ broken after
adding the JS, but I do have to go back in time now.
Your markup doesn't validate, even with transitional, although I'm not convinced that's the cause of the problem(s) you're trying to report.
I'm not either. Last time I tried to validate a page that
was working well on all browsers, attempting to fix some
of the alleged errors trashed the page on some browsers.
You've got an error in your CSS, too. Try your site at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ .
Finds no errors in _my_ CSS, but does complain about "opacity"
in nicetitle.css
What is: <a nicetitle="Find persons by surname" ...? Oh, well, I've
You must have a tool that shows the HTML _after_ JS alters it.
What tool is that? All my browsers show the source as received
from the server.
This scares me:
#header_inner { width: 2000px; }
Yeah, I'll drop that. It was needed on another site.
They decorated the top with several pictures selected
at random from a larger collection. The inner allowed
the row to extend to the last picture without making
a line wrap. Then the outer sliced off the excess.
You have some IE hacks:
/* Hack to prevent Internet Explorer from ruining your display
* html #container
* html #content
etc. These probably won't do for IE7 what you think they will. Read http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250496.aspx .
Ah, but notice I've commented them out.
Maybe you already know that .sidebar li:hover won't work in IE6.
It worked the last time I looked at an IE6
I suggest you avoid the sizing in px that you're trying to do everywhere, especially for the text sizes. IE doesn't allow resizing of px texts, so em or % are better. Using em for block items can help them
Yes, I'd like to figure out a way to make the text more flexible
while still complying with the layout plan for the geometry.
