IE breaks the site

[hardwiredtemplates]

Hello Fellow Zenners.
Can someone please tell me why this is happening. My site looks ok in FF, but not in internet exlorer. I checked in version 7 and its fine, But version 6 messes up the header search field. It moves it about the navMainWrapper div(over the create account|login). Not sure if you understand what i mean,,,but here is the site www.fashionfavourites.com. Anyone know why this is and how to solve this problem.

Thank you so much for that link dbltoe...ouch so many error... With my experience in websit building I should have them all correctd sometime this summer.

Could you suggest somewhere(link) where I can learn more about these errors if you have that is.

appreciate your support.,

Most of them are minor but look like someone has gone around the normal Zen Cart template to create your nav bars.

The validator is pretty good about explaining how to fix the items. Use the web developers tool kit in the Tools Menu of Admin to find the files in question.

Ooops I am guilty of that. I am totally new to Zen cart. in fact new to website creation, but after reading many many many sites in google about design I thought I could tackle it - Only way you learn is by doing right.... I use ff and I had no idea once I view it with a different browser things will be totally different...you live to learn.

by the way when you say nav bars what is that in reference to..excuse me if this is painfully abvious to you I am a little embarrased asking this mayself.

ps. All these errors are coming from the css I suppose and not the tpl_header.php right.

Once again HUGE thank you.

Afraid we have to slap your wrist and say that css did not create these errors

You might want to take an original tpl_header and drop it into the comstock directory to see if a lot of things don't correct themselves.

Might want to consider copying the image shack sale jpg to your harddrive and reducing its size.

hehe... I got the your hint ... thank you for being overly obvious. I will try throwing the original tpl_header.php file on there even though the site might fall apart never the less i'll take your expert advise

ps. I think you will like the new SIZE of the image.

This is the ssl code its what I got from my ssl provider. I figured the only way I can move it around the page was to put in a div...So I called that div (ssl). Now In my css I assign values to that div...is this proper way of doing this or is there an expert recommendation...Here is my ssl code:

================
<!-- bof ssl site seal -->
<div id="ssl">
<span id="___sitess__alt_img_wrapper_middle_image">
<a href="http://www.alphassl.com/" target="_blank" title="SSL Certificate" >
<img alt="SSL Certificate" border=0 id="___sitess__alt_img" src="//seal.alphassl.com/SiteSeal/images/alpha_seal_noscript_en.gif" ></a></span>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//seal.alphassl.com/SiteSeal/alphassl_siteSeal_m.js" defer></script>
</div>
<!-- eof ssl site seal -->
================

That error in the validation is refering to the zero, but I am afraid if i delete it may render the ssl certificate useless
<img alt="SSL Certificate" border=0 id="___sitess__alt_img"

No need to delete it, just put quote marks around the zero. That's what it's really complaining about. (You'd think someone creating code to be used on thousands of sites would try just a little harder to make the code compliant with basic standards, but no, my SSL cert code is also a little off. Or it was until I fixed it.)

Thank you so much rob. I know what you mean...I bet that most of the errors are from the ssl code..and by elminating them they will probable elminiate few other errors as a result.

and this <span id="___sitess__alt_img_wrapper_middle_image"> at first I was very skeptical of that naming convention. So many error I got with this untill I put the whole code in a div that I called "ssl" just to get around that problem. Don't know if that the right way but sure helps.

I was wondering why your seal was in its own div. You might be dismayed to learn this div is hanging off the top-right corner of your page -- at least in Firefox, Safari and Opera, all in Mac OS X. Which means three of the top four rendering engines show it this way. I haven't checked in IE.
