Joseph,

Found you have a solution of sorts at:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/libxml2-fix/

Also another fix suggested is at:

http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_cdata.asp

using the CDATA encoding.

Now just need a nice clean function(s) to test both and see which is best.

Thanks!

OK,

Tried this

function fix_xml ($text, $charset = 'Windows-1252'){
      $text = urlencode($text); // Encode html chars
      //$text = htmlentities($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset, false); // Encode html chars
      //$text = htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset, false); // Encode html chars
      return $text;
   }  // end function

and got worse.

So what I’m thinking is comment out my first line in the first funtion of:
$text = htmlentities($text, ENT_COMPAT, $charset, false); // Encode html chars
and work at tweaking the REGEX so this goes through correctly, especially since the “&pound” is not found in the existing REGEX string and this seems to be the main source of contention.

All feedback on this appreciated.

Thanks!

All,

Finally got Firebug installed and started working the “z-index” settings.

Suggestion, from online sources, was to separate values by at least “10”, so did that. Nothing changes. Noticed my CSS for the active template has many negative numbers, and thinking maybe that is source of the problem? Does MSIE handle the negative or does it change them to absolutes?

Anyway the changes are not having any effect, but did have a couple changes that I had to go back to and clear.

Where I think the problem is, is in the two blocks of:

body
{
	z-index: 0;
	margin: 0 auto;
	padding: 0;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	background-image: url('images/Page-BgTexture.jpg');
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	background-attachment: fixed;
	background-position: bottom center;
}

and

.art-contentLayout
{
	z-index: 300;
	position: relative;
	margin-bottom: 6px;
	width: 786px;
}

.art-Block
{
	position:relative;
	z-index: 200;
	margin:0 auto;
	min-width:1px;
	min-height:1px;
}

.art-Block-body
{
	position: relative;
	z-index: 110;
	padding: 0px;
}

Where “body” contains the background image and the other contains the text that is showing in FF and not in MSIE.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

J,

Well it is effecting 50+ sites, whatever it is. I figure it is another one of those “MicroSoft knows best” upgrades, but here is a sight you can look at:

http://ebmseo.com/

Compare in all 3 Browsers, FF, Safari, MSIE and see that only IE has the problem.

Could also be a CSS thing, since IE handles CSS different. The sites I have with darker backgrounds do not have the same issues, such as:

http://abcdcorp.com/

I was going to debug with Firebug, but for some reason it is refusing to load on my browser, since I had to reset it about a month back due to errors on the newest FF release.

J,

Well first, since it is my first rodeo, I don’t know what you are referring to, so links and resources would be helpful?

Second how does one trap the “raw XML”?

Thanks!

All,

I always get a redirect to my ISP cpanel. You may just get an error.

TBNK

All,

Some more info:

All were copied from original site.

Had to do the following:

1. change DB entries for “Site A” to new site (www.oldsite.com to http://www.newsite.com – implies download/export of DB before, edit, then upload/import of DB),
2. Create Initial Post on new site,
3. Re-init Theme.

On some sites, this brings up the site, on others they are still re-directing.

Do not know what to look for next.

Original site I was working on is first post is now working, fixed with steps above, so look at:

http://www.ebmmc.com

Thanks!
