• Hi! Im having two problems with page layout.
    It looks perfect in Firefox but in Internet Explorer v.7 it doesnt look as it should.

    1. http://www.mxreview.se/wordpress/?p=152
    If you scroll down to where the long text starts, it should start at the top of the column. But the text sticks to the bottom.
    I’ve been trying to find the problem for an hour now… Can’t find it.

    2. http://www.mxreview.se/wordpress/?page_id=121
    Here you can see that the picture doesn’t align to the right and “in” the text when using Explorer.

    Please compare these two URLs in Firefox and IE and you will see that annoying difference.

    I’m very thankful for your help!
    /Johan

  • The first step for page display issues is to fix any code errors. Check your problem pages with a validator:

    http://validator.w3.org/

    Different browsers react differently to code errors. I see your page display problems with my Mac Firefox.

    Line 279 reads <p>Endast KTM är snabbare än Hondan.</td>. I think it should read, Endast KTM är snabbare än Hondan.</td></tr>

    I notice you have validated your primary page so you know about that.

    Thanks for these quick replies.

    I have figured out that this seems to be something with the theme I’m using. I tried switching to four other themes and none of them had this problem.

    My second problem is that I can’t correct these code errors in the admin panel. When I switch over to the html editor it doesnt show all the code, for example it doesn’t show the first tag (<p>) in “<p>Endast KTM är snabbare än Hondan.</td>”

    Maybe I can fix it via FTP, but I’m going to have several hundreds of similiar pages so that is not an option.

    You can write your code with a text program like wordpad and then just paste the correction in. Of course with several hundred pages you need a better solution. If it is the theme, perhaps time to get in touch with the theme developer or time to switch.

    Ok, I fixed the picture alignment (no.2). (Added <div class=”captionright”> to every img.)

    Still can’t find the solution for the 1st problem in http://www.mxreview.se/wordpress/?p=152

    Hope you can help me, thankyou!

    The solution is adding a </tr>. I tested it in IE7 and that works and is needed to close your table. You can use the HTML editor. It never shows <p> and some complane it strips them out.

    If your post was coded incorrectly that is the only way I know. I don’t know of some blanket fix. I guess you could do a seach and replace of your site for </td> and replace with </td></tr> but that might mess up some already correct code.

    Ok, so I inserted but then it looks like this. </tr> http://www.mxreview.se/wordpress/?p=152

    Endast KTM är snabbare än Hondan.</td></tr>
    <td class=”tekniskadata” valign=”top”>

    Hope you got it. I can’t get to it any longer. The code I suggested did correct the original but now some additional changes have been made and it no longer works.

    Sorry my site moved to the root http://www.mxreview.se
    But I didn’t solved it, have to redesign it instead.
    I like the theme, besides that=)
