Browse All TopicsI'm a novice in working with CSS, and thought i was doing okay with a template design but discovered today that some versions of IE 7 and Google Browsers display the page outside of the page borders. It looks fine in Firefox and my copy of IE 7. The website I'm working on is www.llivingsupernaturally.

you can Force IE to recognise the css by adding het same line again and adding a * beforehand, this would be the 'hack' workaround.
you could also try adding this line between the <head> </head> code of the HTML document
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatibl
see the code i've attached, hope it helps you out!
In looking at the code (which is somewhat like Greek to me), I see you changed the first line, and the fourth line. I'm assuming only the fourth line is significant as it relates to IE 8. I haven't tested yet as wanted to know for sure if line one was also significant, but also will this fix the problem with Googe Chrome, which also did not display correctly?
Thanks,
David
In going into my code I see there are two similar lines to what you gave me. Do I add your line to those or replace what I have with you have suggested.
And will this fix Google Chrome as well.
What I have now:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatibl
What your are suggesting:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatibl
Thanks so much for your help, I learning so much!
David
just replace the X-UA-Compatible code with the one to force IE8.
replace
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatibl
with
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatibl
and see if it changes the way it renders the css.
i'm tryring to go through your code locally, but everyhing displays offset for me in every browser in this resolution (1920 x 1200)
Wow, I can't believe what is happening. I changed the one line, and started checking the site on another computer and it's a mess. I'm sure it is not related to the new line but something more significant.
First on my computer (two screens 1920x1080 and 1920x1080) which was used for designing the site it works fine, except for Chrome. I see no change in adding the line from you. In checking on my secretary's computer the problem is still there with IE7 which is where i discovered the problem yesterday and the images are shifted to the right.
In checking on another older computer 1440 x 900) it is really strange, the Firefox content is shifted right and the IE is shifted left.
Just when I thought I was getting somewhere :)
David
having gone through the code, i honestly can't work it out personally!
there are div classes upon div classes, and no clear structure :S
can you link us to the template you modified to come with this result?
i've attached screenshots of how it appears on my end in, the display is exactly the same in both Firefox, IE tab inside firefox, and IE 8 for me.
I've attached the original template. I've obviously really screwed it up and I most likely am going need to start from scratch. All that I wanted from the template was the basic page layout, background, header, footer and menu system; in my limited knowledge of CSS, in pulling out the page content that came with the template I evidently took out something I shouldn't have. Whatever you can suggest will be much appreciated
God does answer prayer... :), I'm using Dreamweaver exclusively. When adding a new page, I add the menu system and then go back and add all of the new page info to all of the previous pages. In modifying as i did I lost the ability to use the sub menus as they were showing up behind the new layers I was adding, so I took them out of the nav system.
i'd reccomend looking at joomla, wordpress, drupal, or any other open source cms, as they're free, and have a range of templates and plugins available for them, all the content will be handled dynamically, and you'll only have to make the template once (if you even decide to make one, you could just get one and modify it to suit your needs)
it'll be a bit of a learning curve, but will definately simplify things for you in the long run, as you wont have o check every page is aligned correctly etc.
good luck!
Thanks for your help!! Being I have advertising hitting this weekend, starting over and leaning a new system is going to take some time and i need to have a site in place by Sunday. Any suggestions on a simple redoing of the original template I've started with that I can setup with a new set of pages to add my existing content too.

The URL you have provided is wrong. It's redirecting to my ISP search page.Please check and respost. Or just post your complete code with CSS.
