Text Breaking Div

  • If my text is longer than a few words, it breaks the boxes down the right hand side in IE and then breaks the page as well. I “fixed” it for the moment by making the rap width larger, but that looks stupid – as do the boxes.
    How do I get the boxes to be nice and neat and not break out when they have long titles?
    It looks as it should in FF.

  • Which text? post title? latest tracks? Could you upload the screenshot?

    Sure . . .

    You would have to set the width of the box. You do have some errors in your page. For instance:
    <div class=”recent”>
    <h2>Latest Tracks</h2>

    • is not valid xhtml (or html)

    I’m sure I have lots more errors. = ] Eventually they will all get sorted, though I guess that would make my life easier, eh?
    So, what would be valid then? You see what I’m trying to do, right?

    Yeah, I’m sure it’s all a big mess . . .eventually I will get compliant when I have a better understanding, but right now I’m on the “seat of my pants” tour.
    Thanks.

    The difficulty of waiting is the fact that noncompliance may be, and often is, the cause of the visual errors you see. Fix them first (at least the ones related to your menu) and then try to fix the visual layout of your menu.

    Ooops . . .
    make that . . .
    Ah, the problem is that I’m using a plugin to get those listings and he didn’t put the ul in there. I stuck it around the PHP call, let’s see if that works.

    Nope. After all that, I got them to align a little better but it’s still doing it.

    Too late, already read it. = ]
    But yeah, didn’t work. Is it that whole IE box model thing maybe? Why does it look perfect in FF, but crap in IE?

    Care to elaborate there yoda? You think it’s the box model hack thing?
