Pages out of alignment

  • About a week ago I wrote that viewing my link pages at https://www.tellmeaboutthat.com produces different results on different computers. “esmi” responded and said that there were some errors that needed to be corrected. I’ve looked everywhere and cannot find the file(s) with the errors. Can somebody help. He apparently ran a W3C Validation. One of the examples is …+”textwidget”><style type=”text/css”>

    The explanation says “The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed….”

    Can someone tell me what file to look in? I’m using the “Desk Mess” theme.

    Ahem! “She…” ??

    The error you mentioned appears to coming from a text widget that you’ve used to insert the Google search into the sidebar. You’ve added:

    <style type="text/css">
@import url(https://www.google.com/cse/api/branding.css);
</style>

    to that text widget. But, as the widget is in the page body (as opposed to the page HEAD), you can’t use that line. Try deleting it from your Text Widget in Admin/Appearance/Widgets.

    To get rid of the final error, edit your theme’s footer.php file and look for

    </div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">

    Remove one of those </div> tags.

    Once that’s all done, you need to re-check the site in different browsers. It’s not the different machines that people are using – it’s the different web browsers. I’ve just run a quick check using FF3 and IE8 and everything looks fine, so if there are any problems remaining, it’s likely to be in IE7 or IE6.

    oopps!! Sorry about that.

    I’ve made the changes you mentioned. Thanks for the help.

    Hi there,

    How do you edit the theme footer?

    Thanks in advance.
