    My website, http://tipabsorb.com/, only seems to display properly on Chrome and Safari. Why is this and how can I make it compatible?

    Where do I find this code? Do I have to go to File manager? I don't think I can edit all this stuff within WordPress. Also, what does it mean by "column" on the W3 website? Where are there columns of code?

    Sorry, I'm not as much of a noob as I make it sound, but I am by no means an expert on this stuff. Never use the W3 website. Whoops.

    Thanks. =)

    Yes you can. The errors are either in your content or in your theme's template files. Use the numbered source code at the foot of the validator report page to track down the issues one-by-one.

    When I CTRL-F most of the incorrect code, I can't find it anywhere on my website. I go through all the pages in WordPress, and I can't find the code anywhere.

    I found most of my errors, but there are a few I cannot find the source of. I took my 55 errors down to 9, but my site still won't work in IE, FF, or Opera. Can anyone give me a hint?

    Just for giggles, try disabling the wp-minify plugin, clear the browser cache in Firefox and revisit the page. When I manually remove the wp-minify plugin output from your source code and replace it with just the path to your style sheet using firebug, the notepad theme seems to display normally for me in FF4.

    Just a wild guess mind you, but because I don't see where you have mentioned trying to disable any plugins yet for diagnosis, if it was me, I might start with wp-minify as a test.

    Just disabled WP-Minify, and it works now! I didn't think a simple plugin could make that much of a difference. You're my hero. TYSM

    How did you remove the WP-Minify output? Just curious. Also, any idea what is was doing to break it? I have no clue as to how exactly the plugin works.

    Thanks a lot!

    You're very welcome! It was a lucky guess. I've noticed some odd issues in general lately with similar plugins that use minify.

    How did you remove the WP-Minify output?

    I used the firebug extension for Firefox to alter your source code in my own browser. It allows you to view and modify a few things on the fly without actually needing to change any files. I just substituted the path to your style sheet for the combined output of the plugin, and things started looking better. I have no idea however, why minify seems to be problematic sometimes. Glad it worked out okay.
