• The front page header looks different in Firefox than IE. I want it to look like IE. To be specific Events, Become a Member etc. The bottom of the letters seem to be cut off. Now look at IE and they are perfect. What can I do to correct the view in FF?

  • You’ve got a bunch of validation errors, some of which will cause display problems among different browsers, like missing closing tags.

    Did you edit your theme? And/or is your theme XHTML compliant to begin with?

    I can’t imagine what I did. It’s the same template as for http://ceconn.com and that site looks perfect. I don’t even know where to look or what corrections to make. Would it be in the editing section? I’m sorry but coding intimidates me. Besides, this coding is all done automatically, isn’t it? I mean, I don’t know coding in php.

    The problem appears in IE7 also, are you using IE6?

    It appears that an HTML has crept into this theme. If you downloaded a new copy of the theme to build the tapc site, and did not change any code, then you might want to check with the theme author and see if it has been fixed, then you can just get another copy of the theme.

    The generated HTML shows that the menu DIV is declared twice, and there appears to be an extra unordered list opening (ul). Most browsers probably apply the 10px of top padding for menu twice, which may be why the nav bar is pushed down. The problem should be in a file called header.php in your theme. Without seeing that code it is hard to guess at what to do, but if you know HTML you may be able to fix it.

    ceconn.com doesn’t validate, either, but obviously they’re not as serious of bugs. You’ve got 96 errors of missing closing tags, etc. It’s a mess. Look through the errors and find where you need to close tags in index.php. Lots of times when you fix one error, others go away. In order to get good display in all browsers, the first thing to do is get as close to valid code as possible.
