Frontpage Issues - 2/1/2008 20:29:15
Hey everyone,
I am using microsoft frontpage 2002 to do this website:
www.battlezonepb.com
Now, I am having a couple of issues. Number 1 is that i designed to site to fit mozilla firefox and it does perfectly. However, when I test it out in internet explorer, the link table turns out massively wide. Any suggestions?
Another problem is that for some reason my photo gallerys will not show up. I have tried and tried with remaking them and everything. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Daniel

Welcome to Outfront,
You code is telling the browser to display your images in percentages rather than pixels. Try adjusting that and see if that clears things up a bit with the width problem.

The problem is probably that you don't have a full and valid DOCTYPE. Without this browsers operate in Quirks mode which means that you're relying on their error handling routines to work out what you want. Also - to make matters worse - IE in quirks mode uses a completely different box model than all other browsers - which leads to different widths that you'd expect.
So add a full DOCTYPE and you should then at least have a level playing field. Using % is ok for chunks of the page and even for images and buttons but you have to make sure they'll look ok at wider and narrower screen resolutions.
You say that you made the site to fit FF - but Firefox and IE etc can be all different widths depending on the screen size and whether the user has the browser maximised or not. So width on a particular browser isn't really the point. Certainly you'd be right to use Firefox as your primary testing browser once you get a DOCTYPE though!
