Darkshadow Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Insane since: Jan 2001	posted 06-25-2002 17:47 Thanks WebShaman, It a werid problem it works fine on PC, in NS, Modzilla, opera,etc and it's works fine on a mac, in modzilla, opera (exsept the on click load image, which I stumed by too), but in IE it's just a dam right mess. And most of the poeple how will look at the work will or might use a mac (creative industy=mac in most cases) so I wipe out most of my users. Darn it it really geting on my head this !!! arrrggghh.. I think I'll be learning a BIG FAT lesson from this design!!!

.... In finding what?s wrong.

Right I got my re design for my site reviewed here a week ago in the site review forum and it all works fine now but you nice guys only tested it on a PC (which I don't blame you for doing). I got it reviewed some where else and they tested it on a MAC and it's all over the place in IE, but not modzilla or NS, and I don't know why.

-- Site here --

I?m on a mac now (at college) trying to figure what's wrong with it and why it so fu*ked up in IE, which I thought all things worked in fine in.

It's the whole layers thingy I think, because all the layers and some tables appear all messed up in IE. I have got modzilla and it works fine, so any ideas why it's such a mess on the MAC IE?

Any ideas why it's so messed in IE? If no one can help it means pulling it down and remaking it .

Dam this has made me learn to test fully before releasing it world wide, dran it!! :P

Don't know if that will work but I never new that you can have some control over how a browser renders things. hhmmm I have to do more reading on it first and then implant it and test it.

So after some reading here, I think I should try this doc type:

code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

And see how that goes? Any one here with a mac that can just do a test later sometime when I ca't it all together?

Also, Good god I did there WDG HTML Validator, wee so many fu*k ups there have a look, that's dreamwaver for ya. Man that is a mess if it's HTML 4.01 Transitional.

Oh darn it why can't you all use mozilla? please....pretty please, hehe

------ Edit below ------

If your on a mac can you test this pages and tell me which one (if any) redeners the best in IE?

Compare the ones below with this - -no doc type-
HTML 4 trans doc type
HTML 4 strict doc type
HTML 4 lose doc type
HTML 3 doc type

Thanks
