problem viewing IE

**mcgregork** · 20 Jul 2008, 10:54 AM

Hi everyone
I'd research forum already and I found some similar problems but only similar....
problems with viewing website over the IE.

I found this one already:

http://validator.w3.org/ .....

......And shows 5 errors on my website.

Question:
Do you think that is the main or only one problem for viewing on the IE?

I received already some screen shot of my website viewed on the IE and its all about the header, columns, footer etc. They just not at the position they been set up. I can attach that in my post if that's can helps.....
I'd check it already Opera, Firefox and Safari, looks fine to me.

What files I should edit to fix above problems? Is it :
includes/templates/MyTemplate......

Im running a zenCart 1.3.8a, my website is http://alluregifts.co.uk

Please..... some advice for newbie

anyone???

What are your issues?

**mcgregork** · 20 Jul 2008, 09:52 PM

Thank u Kobra
This is going to be long post......

After I'd check my website here:

http://validator.w3.org/

I received information then on my web site are :

Validation Output: 5 Errors

1. Error Line 32, Column 32: end tag for "ul" which is not finished.

</ul>

✉

Most likely, you nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example <p><em>...</p> is not acceptable, as <em> must be closed before <p>. Acceptable nesting is: <p><em>...</em></p>

Another possibility is that you used an element which requires a child element that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete. For instance, in HTML the <head> element must contain a <title> child element, lists (ul, ol, dl) require list items (li, or dt, dd), and so on.
2. Error Line 272, Column 5: end tag for element "div" which is not open.

</div>

✉

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occurred in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.
3. Error Line 272, Column 6: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: body line 20 and div.

</div>

✉
4. Error Line 277, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: html line 2 and body.

</body></html>

✉
5. Error Line 277, Column 7: XML Parsing Error: Extra content at the end of the document.

</body></html>

Qestion:
1. Where I can fix that errors? ( /includes/MYTEMPLATE/..... ?)
2. What else I should check to fix viewing in IE?

There is a problem with header, footer and menu bar. They moved to right side screen in the IE were on the FIREFOX and SAFARI I can see them fine.....

You have many malformed entries this is only one - and float center is not valid

Code:

div#dropMenu ul.level1 {
	width:100%;
	margin:0 auto; 
	text-align:center;
	background:#a83131; /*background color of top menu when NOT selected. */
	z-index:1000;
	float:center;

Start by cleaning your css files up as there are too many to post

Thank you for that!!!
That is really something I was looking for....

If I'm not wrong you give it to me sample from my stylesheet_header_menu.css
I will try to clean up that mess

What I can use instead of "float"?
Is it "position" a good idea to keep the menu at the center of the screen?

What about:
stylesheet.css
stylesheet_css_buttons.css

Did you found something there?

regards

stylesheet_header_menu.css has 3 warnings:

Code:

body {  
	behavior: url(includes/csshover.htc);
	}

	margin:0 auto;
    text-align:center;
	z-index:1000;
	position:relative;

	}

div#dropMenu ul {
    margin:0;
	padding:0;
	}
	
div#dropMenu li {
	position:relative;
	list-style:none; 
	margin:0; 
	float:left; 
	line-height:1em;
	width:16.667%;
	*width:16.649%;
	}
	
div#dropMenu ul.level1 {
	width:100%;
	margin:0 auto; 
	text-align:center;
	background:#a83131; /*background color of top menu when NOT selected. */
	z-index:1000;
	float:center;
	}

behavior:
"unknown property "behavior". declaration dropped."

*width:16.649%;
"expected declaration but found "*". skipped to next declaration."

float:center;
"error in parsing value for property "float". declaration dropped."

I'm in haven

Thank you for ur help.
You are the best community ever!
Happy to fund ZenCart.

All errors gone now! I still have some Warnings (175)

in the deference stylesheets but now I know where to fix them...

I'm just wondering if that's enough for IE but that I will find latter....

Cheers...

Hi, thats me again

Since last time I'd clean up my mess in .css files
I'd also tidied my html dokument here : http://htmlfixit.com/cgi-bin/tools/tidy-html/tidy.py

Some warrnigs over the .css checking are related only to the colors..

But still yhe "markup validation" for my HTML over here: http://validator.w3.org/
shows 5 errors.

At the last few days I'd try to localize my I guess "main HTML file" to replace that errors..... But I didn't found?
That errors looks quite simple but where are they hiding from me?

Obi1, Kobra, ..... any help? Please

**mcgregork** · 25 Jul 2008, 11:47 PM

help? someone?
