IE displays out of alignment, flash movie missing in header ..weird

    Hello,

    https://www.Aug08.org

    Have a look at the website in both browsers. Firefox is
    doing it right, IE is not.

    There is a known <div id> issue in the header.php code that I cannot seem to correct (Dreamweaver highlights it).

    It would seem there should be a close-bracket (>) after
    =”true”/]
    but when I put it in there, it appears outside the
    flash movie, as text centred below it. (can be seen in the black background by dragging your mouse down the page).

    Having it in there does not make a difference to alignment or flash in IE.

    Help from you super-sleuths out there is much appreciated!
    Cindy

    When I copy and paste the source-code into Dreamweaver, I am sure that lines shift because there cannot be a missing /ul on line 108. Even looking in the general area, I can’t see a missing one… and even if I did, how do I change it if it’s created by WordPress?

    It’s an interesting theory, adding an extra to test, however this is code I don’t touch. From what I understand, WordPress generates it based on the number of pages/blogroll/archive etc. line items there are. It generates the unorderd lists, right?

    Unless I am somehow barking-up the wrong tree…

    the proof of the error is the incorrectly displayed website.
    There is also an extra “>” below the movie, which only appears when you drag your mouse from top of the website to bottom because it is black on black. I cannot find where that is… argh… will look a the header code again (where there is not ONE “ul”.

    ps–I’ve seen validators spit-out wrong answers (err not “wrong”, just not exactly right…. and multiple ones, that when you correct the right one, the “others” go away…..

    There is some little thing definitely wrong…

    I agree cindy, I counted 6 opening UL’s and 6 Ending UL’s and they are properly placed…I am looking at the list items (li’s) right now

    I tried a few things, and now Firefox is displaying incorrectly also…at least it’s the same as IE.
    Where *is* that extra “>” coming from, and why does the validator not catch it?

    just noticed firefox centres it, as it should, and IE does not… perhaps related to the extra/missing “>”

    Hey, there’s no “</body>” in the header! That should be there , unless WordPress generates it?! (that variable is SO annoying)… going to test it…

    no change ?? … I am SO tempted to just trash the WordPress idea………………………….

    Ok, found the wayward “>” …. however no bonus fixes came with it.

    Ok, I may be onto something. I think the issue is pointing to the blank Archives. Here’s the code WordPress generates:

    • <h2>Archives</h2>

    The error a “missing” could also mean a different missing element, like a child

    • between the

      … such as the ”

      • No categories

        • ” within Categories

        now how to fix it (and I have a feeling that will not fix the overall IE, and now Firefox, display problem..

      Oops I did not display that code correctly. Going to rename this “IE display issue” and start a fresh post.
      Thanks for all your help so far,

      Discovered that an empty Archive creates a blank <ul></ul> which the validator does not like. This error had no effect on the way IE incorrectly displays the webpage, that issue is still ongoing in another post

      I found this thread while trying to resolve a mysterious IE alignment problem.

      Not sure where this thread continues but in case anyone else has a mysterious IE alignment problem then try this thread
