Hi Robin, A quick comparison of the differences should help. most decent text editors will do a diff for you. The first I saw is that you're looking at XHTML in your demo, and HTML 4 in your CMS one.
If you can get rid of the comment before the doctype do so; as people have already said, it puts IE into quirks mode (ie., backwards compatible layout). On 2/20/07, Robin @ Xplore.net <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Group, Our web development company is a LAMP based company and we are affiliated with another web development that is .Net based. I have been preaching to our affiliated company about the benefits of developing using web standards (which they see as pie in the sky) and best practices, but my bleating has mainly fallen on deaf ears, so to try and prove a point I have taken one of their recent site builds http://www.needanerd.co.nz and quickly rebuilt it in Lamp environment (http://training.xtools.co.nz/need_a_nerd/index.htm ) to show how the code can be leaner reducing band width more accessible etc, I have now been asked to put this on to their cms (.net) http://dev18.xplore.net:99/need_a_nerd_test_44.aspx but even though I use the same style sheet and the same html I am still having problems with the page displaying in IE, could some one shed any light on this problem for me please. I know the test site still needs polishing but it's the concept I am trying to prove at the moment.
