Why is all my text center aligned in IE?

    Hey so I just installed a custom theme that I created and for some reason all my text aligned in the center in IE for everything below the header. Doesn’t make any sense to me as I checked the text-align property for virtually every div on the blog.

    Appreciate any help.

    The site is https://www.blogtap.net.

    You could start by sorting out the validation errors on your site. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    I’ve already done that. From my perspective, none of the errors could have caused everything to go center aligned.

    Try taking out the `align=center” markup in your top widget boxes.

    Thanks, I had to tweak the elements in the header (the left box particularly) before it all validated and fixed those alignment issues I was having. I am now down to 3 errors but I can’t seem to fix them. I think its because of my doctype. I am using 4.01 strict and wordpress closes some of its own tags as if they are XHTML 4.01.

    Here are the three errors:

    * Line 13, column 163: character data is not allowed here

    …ent/plugins/contact-form-7/styles.css?ver=2.1.2′ type=’text/css’ media=’all’ />

    * Line 15, column 106: character data is not allowed here

    …pplication/rsd+xml” title=”RSD” href=”https://www.blogtap.net/xmlrpc.php?rsd” />

    * Line 57, column 89: character data is not allowed here

    …=”description” content=”Blogtap.net – yet another blog about blogging” />

    Think it’s possible to fix them without changing the doctype?

    Not easily.You’d have to hack those plugins. Why not change the DOCTYPE to XHTML Transitional?
