[css-d] weird rendering issue in a few versions of IE

2012-04-26 Thread Sacha Moufarrege 
Hi All,

I've inherited a project that involves modifying a pre-existing template to
specifications. A bowdlerized form of the current site can be found here:

http://cssd.sigil93.net/

As you can see, it's in need of work and the original template wasn't
exactly coded according to best practices.

One major issue I need to fix involves how the site renders in IE. I'm
currently using IE8 as that's the main browser of the site's target
audience. In IE8 (and other versions, apparently), when I click on
different pages the site seems to render by rolling across the screen.
Other versions render weirdly as well, but not quite the same. Chrome and
Firefox seem to render pages properly.

Does anyone know what might be causing this odd rendering issue and whether
there's a quick and easy solution to fix it?

Thanks so much for your time!

Sacha

Perhaps, but most of those are things like missing alt tags that generally
shouldn't cause this sort of problem.

/Some/ of those are things like missing alt tags, which will render
your page inaccessible to the blind and partially sighted; many are
not, and just a single error may be all that is causing your problem.
Fix the errors (all of them) and then see if there is any improvement;
if not, report back.

I've corrected all of the aforementioned errors and the site is now XHTML
valid. However, the rendering issue (page loads strangely in IE8) described
in the original post still persists. Any ideas?

The updated template can be found at http://cssd.sigil93.net/

Thanks so much for your time!

You haven't fixed the 108 css errors:
