Using .asp vs .php and redirecting links - 4/15/2009 13:54:04
I'm having so many issues designing in .php in Expression Web. Unfortunately IE has a problem reading them and ends up corrupting my design. The site looks fine in Mozilla, but ridiculous in IE. (you can see it at www.menopauseinfo.org)
So I'm thinking I should rebuild this site inj .asp, but what I don' tknow how to do is redirect all of the links I already have coming in. I know how to create an .htaccess file for .php in Linux, but am completely stumped when it comes to .asp.
If anyone knows the best way to go with this problem, PLEASE tell me.
Thanks,
Cathy

Maybe you or someone else kind can tell me how to get out of this mess I'm in.
I had a new template developed in .asp (designer knew how to do this). I simply used these files and saved them as .php and added some includes
I've done this before and had no problems with how the site displays in IE (see www.everythingandropause.com)
But this time, I did the same process and had someone copy & paste from the old website into the new template. Unfortunately she didn't drop all the html before pasting.
I've spent the day trying to use an html validator to clean up the code, but still can't solve my problem with this site displaying wrong in IE. Which is why I thought I would start all over (after paying someone to do this copy & paste job for 200 pages) and use the original .asp files and be sure not to include any extraneous html.
Where do I go from here?

Before looking at it in any depth, and without validation usage - I can see ALOT of problems in the coding:
- No DOCTYPE. Instantly sends all browsers into quirk modes
- Double <head>. You have an opening head, closing, body information, and then another one! This alone will cause oodles of errors. With includes you need to be careful as to how it's done. You only need the <head> information in the one that will actually contain the meta tags and all the other info to go in the <head>. Usually also contains information for the main header of the page. Go through the includes that are NOT your main page header, and remove all of the metas and <head> information - or merge it into the one file.
Not really going to comment on the usage of tables in the design, just a pet peeve of mine ;)
Work on those, and things should sort themselves out.

Try seperate design and code. Use templates.
