Help! Page not parsing correctly on some Browsers

    My new site:

    http://savageminds.org/

    Looks fine in Firefox and Safari, but is not parsing correctly in MSIE, or older versions of Netscape.

    I can’t figure out what is wrong. The code almost validates with XHTML – but even correcting for the two errors (XHTML doesn’t like the “noscript” tag I’m using, or the fact that WordPress seems to be wrapping
    “blockquote” tags in “p” tags) doesn’t help. My CSS contains NO errors.

    What could be wrong?

    If formatted properly it is dark text on a white background, but in MSIE it appears inverted.

    Looks fine/the same in my FF 1.0.4, IE 6.0 and Netscape 7.1.

    Edit: Forgot to mention: WinXP

    Maybe it only breaks on older browsers? Is there any way I can make it backwards compatible?

    I would include MSIE on Mac OS X as one of those older browsers – it hasn’t been updated in years.

    Well how old are you talking about? Cause Netscape 4 doesn’t include CSS support….

    Sorry can’t help you with MacOS.

    I’ve been told the site actually looks fine on Netscape 4. Don’t know why. I’ve also been told that the fonts are messed up on MSIE 6. But some people are complaining about more serious problems – like what I see on MSIE 5 on the mac. I just wish i knew what was causing them. IF you don’t see them I guess you can’t help. Thanks though.

    I figured out what is wrong. The Images are not loading. Any reason why this won’t work on some browsers?

    background:#fff url('img/rap.jpg') center repeat-y;

    Here is the context for that code:

    #rap
    {
    background:#fff url('img/rap.jpg') center repeat-y;
    width:760px;
    margin:0 auto;
    padding:0px 8px;
    text-align:left;
    font-family: Trebuchet MS,Georgia, Arial, serif;
    font-size: 0.9em;
    }
    #header {
    background:#fff url('img/top.jpg') no-repeat bottom;
    height: 183px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    width:760px;
    padding:0;
    border:#fc9 0px solid;
    }

    OK. I think I found the problem. You can’t put single quotes around the image URL in MSIE 5.

    I just hope that taking them out doesn’t create any problems. So far it seems OK.
