Hi

 

I'm in the process of designing a website and on this page: swallowholidaycottage dot com/cottage/listings/l0006.php

 

There should be ten images. I'm using a Mac with Firefox 4.0.1 and see the images ok. Using my friends machine which is Windows using IE6 the images are not visible.

 

I'm using Dreamweaver to build the web pages, but I'm no html expert and was wondering if any of you folks might know what the problem is.

 

Thanks for any advice offered.

 

P.S. I spoke to the firm I got the templates from and they have told me that the original templates were tested in IE6.... so I must have corrupted the code somehow.

they don't show in IE8/IE9 either. Do in Chrome. Win7

 

First try validating the code http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fswallowholidaycottage.com%2Fcottage%2Flistings%2Fl0006.php&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

 

at a quick look I see some <li> issues being thrown up and have seen in the past IE correctly adhere to standards and about these being opened and closed correctly but other browsers making assumptions. It may not be this of course but cross browser issues are generally coding related.

Not showing up on Windows Vista IE7 or 8 either.

I'm pretty sure it'll have something to do with slimbox.

 

Can you recall what you've done to the template since you bought it?

Sweet yeti of the Serengeti, 55 errors, i would fix all of those first then it may or may not fix the IE image rendering issue as Zed stated.

First major thing to address is that you open the <body> tag twice.

 

Your page only has two errors using an HTML5 doctype but of course that's experimental

actually, it was my other thought. The first line on your code isn't a DOCTYP and IE doesn't like that. Fix that and they appear in IE9.

 

Still fix the errors though

Also as zed said, you have <li> issues where you haven't placed them inside their parent tag (<ul>/<ol>).

 

IE will always baulk at that.

and rightly so!

Yeah quite right too, many people may pass things like this off as IE problems but if anything it's doing it right... it's just everything else it does wrong!

one thing to also consider. With your slimbox lightbox thingy. I'm on my laptop at the moment so have a restricted screen height compared to my desktop. The pop-up images require a scroll down to see them fully and the text below them.

Hi Folks

 

Thank you very much for the information and advice I'm trying my best to work out the <li> issue, I started with a working template which I've hacked to death and pretty much doesn't look like the original - with all kinds of bits of code added.

 

I've removed one of the <body> tags.

 

I'll report back to.. your help and advice is much appreciated.

I think I have the images issue sorted out, but struggling on with the <li> issue. Are you guys seeing the images in IE now?

 

Thanks.

Yup, showing OK in IE8 so far.

Thanks. Think I've about cracked the <li> issue too.

 

Haven't added it to the site yet, just steadily losing my hair trying to crack it.

I had a quick look at that too (as i'm busy today) and, at a glance, it looks good to me.
