Hi Vance

I would first add a doc type to you html. Just having a quick look at your code I would use <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">, if you go for XHTML you would have to do quite a bit of work.

I hope this helps a bit.

Cheers

Darren

Thanks Darren - had to amend the doc declaration a bit as some of the css styling went ballistic. Used:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

I know that the W3C will fail due to redefing the scroll bar etc.

Something seems to have gone really wrong now - there are white gaps between the menu buttons & the blue table cell (top right) has jumped down.

I can't seem to see what's gone wrong here.

Help anyone???

Hi

Just looked at your site in Fire Fox and it look fine apart from you left navigation colour doesn't fill the table cells. I also look at the site on IE and I see you problem. I would put the HTML doc type in your templates and run the validator against each page as this well be easier to debug then trial and error. I would also take a orgianal copy of your pages before making any of the changes just incase. I have had a whole issue of these types of problems in the past.

I hope this help a bit.

Cheers

Html

Thanks again Darren - I think I've found the answer.

If you uncheck the Design / Option / Compact HTML/CGI it places extra line breaks in the code. Checking the option removed them.

Simple eh - but frustrating as I've spent so much time looking at the problem.

Thanks again.
