Re: [WSG] Positioning not consistent
If the HTML is incorrect, you cannot expect anything to be consistent. Yes, I did mention in my original post that the site no longer validates owing to the JS for the database. As I am not familiar with php and js, my associate is responsible for all database work and he fits it into my design. Lack of lowercase is no doubt the main cause of many of the errors. I know there is styling in the HTML instead of it being in the CSS but not sure what I can do about it as I wouldn't like to fiddle too much with his work. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***

Good morning all
The following seems to be happening in all browsers:
http://mail.freshfield.com.au:81/x/tonyb/home.php?action1=hirestage=shirts
Compare the positioning of the Clear Selection and Next lines on
the above page with
http://mail.freshfield.com.au:81/x/tonyb/home.php?action1=hirestage=suits
AND
http://mail.freshfield.com.au:81/x/tonyb/home.php?action1=hirestage=vests
It appears that on pages with several rows of images, such as the
vests page, the positioning is more or less as required ie just under
the image blocks and to the left of the navigation bars on the right.
On pages with only 1 or 2 rows of images, it is positioned much too
far down.
I could solve the issue by putting the data in another navigational
bar under the images but my associate (who does the databases)
prefers to have it separate. I'm OK with that if we can get the
positioning consistent ie, just under the image blocks and to the left
of the nav bars.
Hi Lyn,
I'm seeing the same thing on all three pages in the following browsers.
_Linux_
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.3
Chromium 4.0.267.0
Google Chrome 4.0.249.30
_Windows_
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.5
Google Chrome 3.0.195.33
Safari 4.0.3
The Clear Selection and Next links appear just under the image
blocks and to the left of the nav bars. Next is on the line below
Clear Selection.
In the following browsers, all three pages render the same, but the
Next link is to the right of Clear Selection on the same line
with no space in between them... Like this: Clear SelectionNext
_Linux_
Opera 10.00 build 4585
_Windows_
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
Opera 10.10 build 1893
How can I position if more consistently? Thanks!
Kind regards
Lyn
The CSS in question is
#main .black { color: #000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;
float: left; clear: left;}
#main .black ul { list-style: none; }
I did run it through the Validator but it no longer validates because
of all the JS.

Re: [WSG] Positioning not consistent
Try putting in Microsoft's compatibility meta tag and see how it changes your results : | meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=8/| There are different options for the content field and you may be able to play with that to get consistent results across MS browser versions. The tag is discussed in this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikeormond/archive/2008/09/25/ie-8-compatibility-meta-tags-http-headers-user-agent-strings-etc-etc.aspx -- *Vince Aggrippino* a.k.a.

Re:[WSG] Positioning not consistent
Hi Vince Try putting in Microsoft's compatibility meta tag and see how it changes your results : |meta http-equiv=X-UA-Compatible content=IE=8/| Yes, that's exactly what we've done, now we realise it was only IE8 that showed the problem! Thanks for the help!
