IE giving divs problems

Featured Replies

Hi there, I've been browsing Google for ages trying to find a fix for my problem, so now I come to you on my last appeal.

 

I've coded my first CSS website, I made it has a learning lesson for myself and I got very happy with the final result on Firefox and Safari (since I'm on a Mac I didn't had IE). I already have the website online for awhile, and the other day someone reported the website was all out of place and no menu being displayed.

 

Here is the link: http://transfertatours.com/darktmp/index.htm

 

If anyone can give me a hint on how to fix, I would be much appreciated, next time I adventure on CSS I'll have to check the website everytime on IE...

 

If you compare the website on IE and Firefox you'll notice that on IE the menu sometimes appears, other times dissapears, the divs get all messy and out of place. I tried alot of hacks and methods and just can't get it right.

 

Thanks everyone for your help and sorry for my English.

I'm not an expert by any means but I'll have a look when I get the chance! Also on a Mac and booting up my Windows machine makes my skin crawl.

 

[Edit] Apparently I no longer have Windows installed thanks to Ubuntu... I'll let you know when I've reinstalled it...

 

[Edit... again] While I'm waiting a year and forever for Windows 7 to reinstall, have you thought about having a second CSS sheet specifically for IE? Until I can open up IE I can't check if it's just IE7 or all IE's that are giving you the problem, but it's something to consider if you haven't already.

 

In case you didn't know, to save you looking around on Google, to make IE see an extra CSS sheet you just put it in conditional comments:

 

<!--[if IE]>

Special instructions for IE here

<![endif]-->

 

or for IE 7 only:

 

<!--[if IE 7]>

Special instructions for IE 7 here

<![endif]-->

 

Forgive me if you already knew this, I just wanted to save you some time if you didn't.

have a look at your <LI> statements in the underdestaques DIV for start. They need to be in a <UL> or <OL> http://w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_li.asp

 

UL/LI often lead to issues between browsers as IE is more strict about code and Firefox makes assumptions that can hide coding problems.

Thank you both for your time and help, I'll dig into that and try to fix my problem, thanks all!
