Fix your code errors, esp. the style sheets links in the wrong place that break the doc type. See [Invalid] Markup Validation of ameristarcareers.com springfield – W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code.
Thanks I fixed up those errors I thought would be problematic, but I’m not sure what you mean by the stylesheets in the wrong place? Everything is as it should be for that aspect as I understand it.
Thanks
I fixed up those errors I thought would be problematic….
Well, fix the rest of the errors. IE is very picky.
I appreciate it, but those errors aren’t specifically what’s causing the issues. I think it’s bascially due to CSS IE quirks that are hard for me to even address as I’m working on a mac.
The only invalid markup ones aren’t really that important for layout issues…
Any ideas on what I can do to get rid of some of those IE issues I mentioned above?
Thanks!
I see you are using HTML5.
An HTML5 shiv may help. IE versions earlier than 9, will not allow styling for elements not recognized.
To help with that I have installed the following after the meta charset line :
<meta charset=UTF-8 />
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->
sweet, couldn’t hurt. Added that to the header.php file.
Sorry, how could you tell that I was using HTML5? I was messing with the doctype earlier as I thought that might have been what is causing those IE issues, but nothing seems to change it up.
@kevinhaig: Not the problem; look at the source for that site. You will see html5.js is already loading for IE.
@mixmastermichael: you still have code errors; your ie style sheet throws a 404.
ah, got it. Sorry, thought I removed that ie.css part.
I originally tried to make an IE.css style sheet to address issues only in IE, but it over wrote non ie styles, so I removed it.
EDIT: removing that fixed my IE issues. UGGH. Wish I wasn’t being so unobservant for that part… just assumed it was wan IE css quirk
@songdogtech :
I noticed that and was wondering if that was a HTML5 shiv.
I noticed the large code errors as well, both in HTML and CSS.
With so many errors it’s funny the site is working in Firefox.
@mixmastermichael: Your DOCTYPE declaration is HTML5.
hmm, my doctype is just
<!DOCTYPE html> didn’t know that’s the html5 declaration these days
thanks for taking a look both of you.
