site not viewing properly in netscape/opera - 7/7/2004 7:26:54   
Hi all, wonder if anyone could help.

I have used css style sheet to create a 2 column web - trouble is it doesn't display properly in netscape or opera (any possible others).

Would a kind guru mind having a quick look and suggesting how this could be recitified. The main problem seems to be with the sidebar and footer.
My web is at www.homesinspain.ltd.uk
and the css file is at www.homesinspain.ltd.uk/site.css

Thanks for any help or advice

well until any gurus appear...
as far as the sidebar goes you need to apply the background colour to the table cells/table, not the div...

I can't see any problems with it. It may be the float attributes used.

Deb!!!!!! This one is yours:)

I will see if I can sort it, but Deb will be able to help you more than I

Thanks all for your help - I think I have sorted it as far as Netscape goes. I checked again the original ccs sheet that i copied and realised i had removed a vital "wrap" component. :)

It still is not dispaying in Opera correctly though!!!!

Thanks again for the advice

Hi Simon, welcome to outfront.

One thing I can see in IE is that you have the pictures at the top overlaping.

One thing I am going to suggest is that you validate your html and your css first, in case you have not done so yet.

Once you do this then come back and we will see what is happening. I think it might have something to do with min width. If I am remembering correctly I think that browsers have some difficulty with them.

I haven't really went over your code too much yet. Do the validation and see what it turns up for you. I'll look it over and see what suggestions I might have for you.

Hi Deb - thanks for your time.

Yes the css and html both validate at w3.

The overlapping picture is intentional - that was my idea of looking flash, lol. It is, infact 1 image created using Gimp by "sticking" two images together. The original idea was for the top images and the left side images to be all one, but then I couldn't get the text within it (apparently you can with FP2003 - see my post in newbies) - so I broke this up into 2 images (top and left) and placed this in a table with no visible borders so I could add the text.

Anyway - back to the problem - yes they validate, the page looks fine in Netscape and IE - but not Opera (and maybe others - I dont have any other browsers on my system to check - if anyone does, please let me know if the page does not view correctly)

Thanks again for any help:)

i was just looking in opera and was thinking it looked fine... it's never a waste of time! one thing in opera the #sidebar h3 text is way too small in opera, try knocking the percentage up to around 65% from 55% and see how it looks. but strange to choose H3 as it's not a heading, but maybe you did it for SEO purposes??

Thanks again.

Knocked % upto 65 and changed it from "h3" to "p"

Does anyone use Mozilla - if so, what does it look like?
