I was hoping for an explaination to this little "issue" that I've stumbled upon. I took the liberty of making a "colour friendly" version that should appeal to most.... =) Here's the two pages that I'm comparing: [ulist] * [url=http://formclot.net/h-files/index2.html]example 1[/url] * [url=http://formclot.net/h-files/index1.html]example 2[/url] [/ulist] Now, both pages are using the same style sheet.... and both have identical mark-up for the most part. The one and only difference between them is the usage of XHTML style closing tags... from example 1: [code] <div id="logo"> <a href="http://www.ozoneasylum.com"> <img src="images/asylum_logo.jpg" width="299" height="84" alt="Home of the Mad Scientists" border="0"></a> </div> <div id="box"> <a href="http://www.ozoneasylum.com/">OZONE Asylum, home of the Mad Scientists</a> </div> <div id="box1"> bleh </div> <div id="box2"> bloo </div> [/code] and here's example 2: [code] <div id="logo"> <a href="http://www.ozoneasylum.com"> <img src="images/asylum_logo.jpg" width="299" height="84" alt="Home of the Mad Scientists" border="0"><a/> <div/> <div id="box"> <a href="http://www.ozoneasylum.com/">OZONE Asylum, home of the Mad Scientists<a/> <div/> <div id="box1"> bleh <div/> <div id="box2"> bloo <div/> [/code] btw, this is the DOCTYPE I'm using: [code]<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/code] So my question are... why is there a difference in the way the boxes are shown? (i'm using IE 6) what browsers is this making a difference in? I've done some rummaging in the FAQ's, though I'll admit I haven't read all the possible applicable information in there... I was wondering if this is a common issue/complaint..... and guidance how to remedy it would be nice as well. If at all possible, when explaining... try to keep the crazy coder chatter to a minimum... chances are it'll fly right by me otherwise. Cheers folks. edit: excuse my shotty spelling in the thread name.... my pathetic excuse is that i'm tired..... but the truth is ... well... I'm just a dipshit.
