swartsz 7 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 I am currently working on a new design for my website Swartsmorgan.nl, i have got the design ready but am encountering a strange problem. I made the website so it would stretch the length of the screen but when i fire it up in IE it remains a bit of the bottom of the screen, while it works perfectly in Firefox. here is a picture of the problem i am talking about: and here is the link to the page itself: http://www.swartsmorgan.nl/jan/Layout3.html Does anybody here know how to solve this?

Avey 0 Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 If only there was one universal browser. FYI it shows up good in Opera too. As for the problem, sorry, i don't know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As for the problem, sorry, i don't know. ← but thank you for testing in Opera, was wondering how the page would act in that browser since i have no experience with it myself.

Chef-Scott 0 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Try using style sheets. Also run your page through this validator: http://validator.w3.org/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeko 33 Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Validator should help u with errors. Also it looks weird on 1280x1024 resolution cuz a lot of space on the right side of screen is just blank. How about u use center position and add some tileable background? Clean design tho Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Try using style sheets hmm....i have absoluty no knowledge of CSS but have been looking into it, just can't figure how to make the design with it. Also it looks weird on 1280x1024 resolution cuz a lot of space on the right side of screen is just blank. How about u use center position and add some tileable background? that is true, i was hoping to use that space for some vertical banners next to the site itself to fill up some of that unused space.

Rocky 1,224 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 (edited) I don't really see the problem as there is a blue strip at the top and the bottom so it looks fine, but if I understand you correctly, you want rid of the blue strip at the bottom... lemme take a look... Oh wait you mean the white strip at the bottom? Edited November 10, 2004 by Rocky Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 This is actually a bit wierd. If you refresh the page in IE, the white strip disappears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 yes, it is the white stripe that keeps bothering me. Also noticed it dissapears when you refresh the page. I also have been studying how to make a layout using CSS but it will take a while to get it right, so for the moment i am still working on this layout with the annoying white stripe in order to get this new website online as soon as possible. The website needs a new look! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky 1,224 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Although CSS is the way to go, this is a simple layout to achieve using tables and should not be any problem at all. I'll take another look at it shortly. The best way is to start removing elements from the page working backwards until the problem disappears, then we'll know what it is.

firefly2442 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I may be completely wrong here but can't you just change the table width to 100% (or a percentage) instead of an actual number so that it is displayed correctly in all browsers regardless of the resolution you are running in? It looks fine in Firefox 1.0..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob The Nailer 0 Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 I'm on a Mac on IE and it looks good. Blue strip is the very last thing on the bottom, no white strip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But that is the first thing I checked for - did you see one expressed as pixels? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 i think he ment the height in %, the width isn't the problem. But the height of the layout is 100% Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firefly2442 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Change this line: <table width="736" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> To this: <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> When I tried it in IE, the white line disappears and you get a full page effect.

swartsz 7 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 i don't think changing the width of the table will change anything to the white line on the bottom of the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
firefly2442 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 When I tried it, it seemed to work. Could be IE needs an update too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swartsz 7 Posted November 11, 2004 Author Share Posted November 11, 2004 will give it a try to see if it works! thanks m8! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
