Browser Incompatibility - 4/29/2006 6:45:15
Hi
My site has been having problems while viewing in IE, though it appears as I designe it in Firefox. If you look at the page http://xooxonline.info/banreasons.html using IE, you will understand how the text appears so squeezed in a small column. But this problem doesnt appear in Firefox. I tried a little bit in modifying the DTD for the page from loose to strict, etc, but it doesnt seem to work. Please help me in this regard. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi
Couple of things. Firstly you've got:
width: 120px;
on that bit of compressed text - so you might want to remove that to get the full width.
Secondly you're using a XHTML 1.1 DOCTYPE which I wouldn't advise in your case - that DOCTYPE must be served as application/xml which IE doesn't understand at all and is therefore completely wasted unless you're going to start complex content negotiation (which I'll assume you're not).
Given your current mark-up I'd stick with the more basic HTML 4 transitional:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Thanks Tailslide. I actually used the width because, I did not want to overshoot the page width, and it looked fine on Firefox.

To be honest I'm not totally sure why Firefox showed it as it did... ah well - fixed now from the looks of it.
Plus if you change <style> in the head of the document to <style type="text/css"> the page will validate!! Yay!
