amhso Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 On my site, http://spudguns.trap17.com , I must have done something wrong with coding. Actually, maybe just messy, but it works in every browser but IE. in IE the boxes on the side (the ones labeled Nagvigation, externel links, and stats) stick into content. I have been looking at it for 2 weeks and could not find what is wrong. I think this turns many of my visitors away, so i want to fix this. Any suggestions?

Spaceman3750 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 IE doesn't adhere to W3C standards when parsing web pages. It has it's own set of rules when parsing web pages. I would recommend designing a mirror of your site compatible with IE and using PHP or JavaScript to figure out which browser your visitor is using and redirect them to the proper area.

HerLoss Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Or just put up a welcome page that gives a link to DL firefox, and tell them it's going to look screwed up if they dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amhso Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 I was thinking of that. I already have the referral link on my main page. But i don't want to move all my work just to put a firefox link and then forward them to my site. "Your browser stinks, please download a better one!"

HerLoss Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 change your index.whatever to index2.whatever, open up all your files, run a find/replace for index.whatever/index2.whatever, and put the "IE is retarded, get FireFox" page on index.whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amhso Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 is there a way that i can detect browser and if it's IE, tell them to swtich browsers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman3750 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Yeah, let me find the PHP code to do it. EDIT: It's some code on a blog buried deep within spreadfirefox.com. Anyone know off the top of their head what it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amhso Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 that's what i was thinking, to use spreadfirefox link there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikass Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 does anyone know how to make a member login page on your site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonfire Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Just use the 'php site' tool by HH. It will make you a php page. If you want to make it yourself then you would have to use some sofware like dreamweaver. Just select the help option provided by the software itself and learn. and ENJOY!!!

kikass Posted February 12, 2006 Share Posted February 12, 2006 yeah but i want to make it like that only i make the passwords and usernames and they expire after a certain time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eTronicGaming Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 What's this all got to do with the IE problem? Anyway, it has something to do with the css. I've seen this before... I just don't remember. I think it may be the cellspacing or padding, but you aren't using tables. I recommend switching to tables so IE will cope with it. Else just let people screw themselves using IE. I can't believe Micro$oft still allows people to use it... they should be ashamed of themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Simply a css problem. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eTronicGaming Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 this is one thing i hate about div tags... they aren't cross-browser compatible yet. What I did is make 3 different css (one for ff, ie, and opera) and then I have php check what browser they are using and impliment one of the 3 css files. works great!
