Site doesn’t look right in Firefox, please help!

  • Hi, I’m working up a site, nezane.org/wordpress, using this theme https://www.paddsolutions.com/wordpress-theme-magilas/.

    The site looks fine in Safari (I’m on a Mac), but when I view it in Firefox the Advertisements don’t line up right, instead of having two 125×125 ads next to each other they are stacked on top of each other and also have a green border around them (I’m assuming it’s something to do with that they’re link images). Go to the site and click on any page in the nav bar to see what I mean about the problem with the sidebar ads on the right.

    How can I fix this? And if anyone has internet explorer, let me know if this same problem is happening with that browser as well, thanks!

  • If you have issues in Firefox, download Firebug.

    Using it, I found you can float your divs using

    width:121px;
    float:left;

    Can you update the code?

    You’ve got some broken tags and other code errors that will affect display: [Invalid]Markup Validation of nezane.org wordpress – W3C Markup Validator. Scroll down in the validation report to see line numbers and source code. They are missing closing tags for images and list items, so they are more than likley causing the problems you’re seeing.

    Same display to me in Safari and Firefox. But for IE you really need to find a PC to test the website on, or run Windows under VMWare or similar virtualization setup on your Mac to fully test websites.

    Thanks for your help, although I’m quite new at this and I’m not sure how to go about fixing what needs to be fixed (I apologize in advance for my ignorance, gotta start somewhere though!)

    Stuart, I can update the code, although I’m not sure where to add those two lines, there’s a ton of php files in this theme so I wouldn’t even no where to begin, any advice?

    Song Dog, I checked out the link you sent over and I’m anxious to get all the code errors fixed, although I’m not sure where to make the edits. Maybe I just can’t deconstruct the errors very well, but I’m not sure where to make those edits, really I would need something along the lines of “change this line of code in this file to this…” Is that what that link is telling me and I just can’t see the forest through the trees?

    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks for your patience.

    BTW, if someone could check out the site in IE and let me know if it’s good that would be swell!

    Well, if you just want to get the ads right, you can ignore some of the errors. How are you putting the ads in? Is there an option in your theme to insert ads? You’re going to have to change the CSS of the container of the ads, I think, to get them to sit side by side. Have you tried asking the theme developer?

    I tried writing the developer of the theme but no such luck. Songdog, I enter the path to the jpg of the custom ad and the link in the options of the theme in WordPress. How would I find out what CSS file is their container and how would I change the file to fix this problem?

    Are there any other glaring errors from that Markup Validation link that I should definitely fix? Made me kinda nervous…

    Hey thanks for your help!

    The main theme at the theme designers site has ads in the sidebar; take a look at the CSS for that theme and see what they are doing with aligning the ads side by side:
