tweaking the width on your content container (left col) and/or your sidebar container (right col) will fix your problem.
you’ve got 93 validation errors.
I’d start with fixing those.
Thanks Katgirl. I was considering doing that but wasn’t sure if that would mess up the page. LOL not of course that is not already messed up
well doodlebee its great to say someone has 93 validation errors, but it would be even better to say what they are and even better still to say HOW to fix them. SO in essence your contribution is pointless
Vivarant, are you using FF, with web developer attachment?
If so, in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (FF) there will be, either:
yellow triangle, signally validation warnings
red dot with a cross, signally validation errors
green dot with a tick, signally correct rendering, no validation errors and give yourself a huge pat on the back!
FF, with web developer tools is so simple to use.
Just click on either image, and another side screen will pop up next to your web page, and it will show you EXACTLY where your validation warnings/errors are, and also give suggestions as to how to fix them.
Most validation errors are simple typos – easily fixed, but certainly quickly fixed if fresh eyes review your css/html, which the web developer tool will do by HIGHLIGHTING the validation errors.
If you don’t have web developer tools or FF, you can download both (completely free) from firefox.
I use it all the time and count my blessings that I do.
its a must have tool for anyone designing or tweaking their site.

Um…I *linked* to the validation errors. That link I posted is a list of every single one of them. It’s kind of pointless for me to list 93 validation errors here when I did you a favor and linked right to it in an attempt to help you out.
Plus, the W3C site tells you exactly what causes these errors. If you read the page I linked to, it’ll tell you how to fix them.
Glad to know that, unlike several others I’ve helped on this forum, to you I’m pointless. I’ll be sure to remember that next time you ask for help. I’ll be sure to steer clear of you. Apologies for trying to help you out. I won’t make that mistake again.
Thanks Katgirl I wasn’t using FF but I do have it installed and i will try it. I’m not sure if it has the web developer tools but i will check. If not i’ll download it.
and db thats great that you have helped others but you certainly didn’t help me. So if you don’t stop at my post I won’t shed any tears.
Vivarant – calm yourself. Scroll up. Click on that link (it’s got the bold blue line under it) that Doodlebee provided. There they all are.
Keep the thread on topic (and not on personal attacks) and it’ll stay open.

get the same problem: realy don’t know how to fix it. I downloaded the ff web developper tool: well, it fixes my problem and show me the code corrected with so many differences that I can’t find my error. The problem is I can’t just copy the code because, it’s the interpreted part…
Have the problem with all the theme I tried.
That’s why I’m asking your help please, thanks.
I’m not a developper, so please (if you answer:)) could you explain where and what to do…
Vivarant, your ignorance does not justify lashing out. Neither does your fear of the unknown.
DoodleBee was spot on. She cannot evaluate your level of expertise based on your post. Linking to validation errors is the exact methodology used by most volunteers here as it gets straight to the errors on the exact site in question.
You owe her an apology.
Axel –
I tried to validate your page, but it couldn’t even attempt to validate it because you have unknown characters in your document.
You can see it here.
Usually, what that means is you’ve got the wrong kind of character encoding for the text you’re using on the page. Normally, this error is seen when trying to C&P from something like Word into your document – Word likes to puke up nasty errors like this. However, since our site is in French (I think it’s French, anyway – it’s been a few years!) I’d say that’s the culprit – you’re trying to put in French letters with graves and such, and you character encoding is incrrect, thus making this error.
I’d start by changing your charset to ISO-8859-1. Basically, in your header.php file, look for this line:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
and change it to this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
And see if that helps. If it does, then you should be able to view your page through the validator and it’ll start showing your list of errors there. It’s a start, anyway.
Yosemite (and Handy!) – thanks for the backup 🙂 However, people like this never apologize – too proud to admit a mistake. But I definitely won’t make the same mistake twice – nothing like offering help and getting your head bitten off.
But I digress – I’ve already let it go. But thanks anyway! (and Axel – you should start a new thread on your problem once you make that change – you have a better chance of getting help if you don’t “hijack” someone else’s thread and start your own :))
thanks a lot for your help: yes that was the problem: I used a wrong char type
Solution I found: I used a word doc as an offline text editor with utf-8 encoding: rewrite all my article like this and no code to modifie: I realy think that it could be notice in an faq cause it’s a very basic thing and easy to fix (for you :)). Thanks for your help:)
Sorry for the thread but it looked me to be the same problem…so…
