IE viewing my site oddly?

TheGustav

I know for one that my site isn't centered since I use the auto margins in CSS for divs.... But other than that, I notice 2 things wrong...

At the end of most pages, the last bit of content is echo'd... For example on the pets page, after Others, is thers... And it goes for most pages.

Also, there's an extra break after Hall of Fame and Add your Pet in the side menu.... I break these by just using a <br>, and there's no extra <br>'s...

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I must say I am not a big fan of IE. Whenever I make my layouts for a site it looks perfect in FF but in IE as always its does not look perfect. IE has some extra defaults built in for CSS. Like on a submit button on a form their is usually an extra big black border around the button which makes it look very bad. Using the margin to center it in IE do this

what does your stylesheet look like? how is it linked to your page?

it's kinda importent that ur site works in IE.. since still about 80% use IE.. I know alot of ppl talk about FF and Opera and other browsers.. but majority is still in IE.. and yes IE6 has alot of bugs.. but a good designer works with both.. I always work paralell in firefox, opera and IE6.. and I'm checking every single change in all browsers so all works proper.. takes more time, and it's harder but alot more apreciated Smile

post ur css and link to ur css from ur html so we can see what it looks like and where the misstake is Smile

My style sheet looks something like this... (I recently switched from tables to div's, and had just learned div's... So it may not be the best coding, and that could be the problem)

Make sure that there is no xml prolog in top of your code. even if you are xhtml strict markup, but if there is xml prolog defined in your document then IE6 and IE7 browsers will render content in quirks mode .

make sure you are not putting any xml prolog on top of your document (before doctype). even if you put a html comment before your doctype IE will render content in quirks mode.

so if you want IE6/IE7 rendering similar to FIREFOX then your content should be rendered in standards mode. here IE browser will also use same box model as firefix. you dont need to put css hacks if one dive with fixed width have padding/margins/border

I'm pretty sure I've done everything correctly...

It's just odd, when I add

I think your doctype is wrong. try this and make sure there is no css hack in your style sheet

don't see any <p> tags.. and use <br /> for breaks.. also it might help if u put overflwo:hiden; in ur body (css) and remember that FF and IE6 works this tags abit different.
