I'm new to this list,
Welcome, Cedar....
and to CSS, and I'd be grateful for any advice or feedback in solving my
problem, which seems common but which I can't seem to fix nonetheless.
I've been slowly making progress on my website, and finally have a running
site I like that is resizable with the browser window.
But it only looks good in Internet Explorer, and I want it to look good,
or at least functional, in Firefox, and I can't understand why it doesn't.
A good start would be to make sure that your HTML and CSS validate. My
first observations were that your HTML doesn't have a DOCTYPE declaration,
and lacks an (opening) <html> tag. You don't specify any character
encoding either.
You have style information (which belongs in the style sheet) mixed in with
the HTML, and in your CSS, you have the following (in the 'From Erik' section:
A:link { color: #000066; text-decoration: none; font-style: strong;}
This isn't valid CSS
In Firefox, I'd like there to be spaces between the boxes, and I'd also
like them to align on some level. More importantly, the content on FireFox
runs off the side of the content box, so it's unreadable. That is a
problem I absolutely need to fix.
My advice would be to have a good look through your code and correct any
existing *errors* before you try to look at making things universal. You
may find that things improve significantly once you've ironed out the problems
Again, I thank everyone here in advance for tolerating a potentially
boring/naive question. I wouldn't ask if I hadn't spent the last few weeks
trying to reach a resolution on my own...with no success!
No, not boring or naive... It sometimes takes a fresh pair of eyes to see
a problem ;-) That's what lists are for
