    Default Firefox vs. IE7

    Hello all,

    Please take a look at http://store.islandcargosystems.com on Firefox and then IE7.

    Looks good in Firefox - What do you think is causing the problem in IE7?

    Thanks

    Where did this template come from?
    The body is not contained within the #mainWrapper div as a default template is setup.

    This is not a minor alteration

    Besides ading the drop down and creating some new graphics we havent altered it much. We are trying to figure out a way of adding some kind of shipping module that calculates when a pallet is full according to the items selected. We had a programmer try to do this and I'm afraid he messed some things up. I see alot of parsing errors when I try to validate.

    Thanks

    The problem is that you have tried to comment out some of the header code, but not done it properly, i.e. not closed the comment, ending up with nested comments, which is not allowed.

    So both browsers are trying to work out what to treat as the end of your comment and coming to different conclusions. In the case of Firefox, by the time it treats the comment as ended, a pile of important structural detail has been ignored, which is why the page falls apart.

    I'm not sure what you mean by the body is not contained within the #mainWrapper div.

    All the other zen sites I see are set up like mine. Please help.

    Thanks

    What Kobra is telling you is that because a lot of your code is getting commented out, the mainWrapper is closed prematurely, so the rest of the site is not held in place by it as it would be normally.

    Thanks again for the help.

    Can you tell me where I can get rid of the text links (Home, Log In) that have appeared over the header graphic at the top left of the page?
