WhiteKnight77 1 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I decided to try Mozilla's Firefox v0.9.2 and when I visited my website, I could not see my link buttons of pics or any sort. What do I need to do short of removing my .htaccess file from my web site in order to see pics. I have enable view images, but nothing. The format is even wacked out with the text under the navigation buttons instead of on the right of them. What has does that and how can it be fixed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CR6 0 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I've been using Firefox since it was called Firebird (v0.6) and I think it rocks, especially opening a bunch of my favorite sites with one click ) That and the fact it doesn't have as many (known) security holes as IE Mozilla-based browsers (Firebird, Netscape) actually follow W3C's HTML standards way better than Microsoft's, but since Microsoft has the vast majority of users, they can push their non-compliant browser standard which is actually more forgiving about poor coding. (Not saying that your coding is bad WK! ) See: http://www.w3.org/ I've tried my best to make sure the 3d Retreat Network sites have been compliant as possible with W3C standards, and show up properly on multiple browsers (well, mainly IE, Netscape, Firebird and Opera), but sometimes it is tricky. I've actually contacted Rocky that GR.net's news page text size looks too small on Firebird. WK, please post the link to your site (I know you posted it somewhere else before) and we'll see what we can do ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteKnight77 1 Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 The link to my website is in the buttons under my sig, just like 3dRetreats is for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteKnight77 1 Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 I think I found part of my problem with Mozilla. I had written my code as this: <li><a href="reports.html"><img src="\images\reportsbutton.jpg" width="256" height="50" alt="Reports" border=0></a></li> I was using \ to direct everything to my folders instead of /. Im gonna try something really quick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteKnight77 1 Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 I now have my graphics showing, but the text is still not in the right places and there are 7 horizontal rules visable instead of just 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CR6 0 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 After looking at your source code, here are my suggestions: I now have my graphics showing, but the text is still not in the right places To put the text to the right of the link graphics, I suggest you use <table> tags, and make a table with 2 columns, instead of the <div style="position:absolute;left=x;top=x;"> tag. I personally found this to make website formatting more consistent over different browsers. ... there are 7 horizontal rules visable instead of just 2. If you don't want those 5 black horizontal rules to show up (i.e. I assume your plan was to have them blend into the black background?), the best thing is to remove the <hr width="95%" align=center style=color:black> tag and just use a <br /> tag instead. Hope these help provide the intended results Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Avey 0 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I now have my graphics showing, but the text is still not in the right places and there are 7 horizontal rules visable instead of just 2. No graphics for me in Opera. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CR6 0 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 BTW, another quick suggestion. I noticed you have a few <p></p> (paragraph) tabs used to make spaces between paragraphs. I find that using <br /><br /> is much easier to use (<br /> = break - more often seen as "<br>" but <br /> is the "official" W3C way to write it with the closing slash ) Although the <p> tag is one of the first tags people learn with HTML, I find a lot of experience coders use it less and less.

firefly2442 0 Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 There are also validators out there. Try these two. Found at www.w3c.org http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ http://validator.w3.org/ They'll fix up your code in no time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
