[WSG] IE doesn't like my positioning
Hello all -- This is probably a really simple thing, but I'm growing incapacitated by my frustration. Working on the layout with dummy text and it looks great in Firefox, but IE says ut-uh. Can someone take a look and tell me what stupid mistake I've made? http://www.pcc.com/clients/uc/welcometest.html thanks, Barb -- Barbara Dozetos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Physician's Computer CompanyMarketing Team 1 Main St., Ste 7 802-846-5532 Winooski, VT 05404 * The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help *

I am going to guess it has something to do with the fact that you start your HTML document twice. - Jeremy Flint www.jeremyflint.com Barbara Dozetos wrote: Hello all -- This is probably a really simple thing, but I'm growing incapacitated by my frustration.

Since you don't close that tag and IE is operating in quirks mode, it happily applies it to the rest of the page. Plenty of other problems to fix after that. It may actually be easier to start this site over from scratch rather than try to fix all the problems. But if you want to fix it in place I'd recommend as a first step looking at the validator (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1uri=http%3A//www.pcc.com/clients/uc/welcometest.html).

Re: [WSG] IE doesn't like my positioning
No, you're just seeing the result of a server-side include there. IE doesn't have a problem with that, or none of our Web site would ever work. :) Is there something about right margins, maybe? The div that creates the far left column with the logos in it works fine with left, right and top properties. I've tried replacing the 'width' property in the two divs that aren't working with a right property, but that isn't working, either.

Re: [WSG] IE doesn't like my positioning
Thanks! Believe me, I know there's lots more to be dealt with. I inherited this site when I took the job and found that there had been no single person in charge of the site. We're definitely starting from scratch with a redesign, but we have to keep putting bandaids on the existing site until that's ready to go. Again, thanks a million for finding my problem. I would NEVER have found that. Barb Robert Moser wrote: This specific problem is caused by the nobr tag at the end of your div with an id of div3.
