Me again...CSS again...sigh :) - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

CSS is starting to seem like a road I shouldn't have begun to walk down.

My first css-ish website is up(ish) although sans content. http://tim.komta.com if anyone's interested.

Had my first glance at it through a Mac...holy hell, it was fucked up. IE5 on the Mac was one of the screwiest things I've ever seen...it took the <p> tags and formed them into columns instead of presenting them horizontally as you'd expect.

Safari did a little better, but it was still a bit fucked. A few things overlapped, etc.

So, my first move will be to bail on the absolute positioned items, best I can. I had been hoping for a table-free setup, but since I want a footer at the bottom even if there's not much on the page, I've already had to resort to a table or two.

Any other advice? Anyone with a different browser care to take a look?

HTML error on line 11:

Code:

&lt;table width="100%"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;

and line 43:

Code:

&lt;!-- Begin output from footer.php --&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

Perhaps this is whats causing your problems?

Check out CSS and HTML validators. They will help ensure that your page shows up correctly in all browsers.

It can seem frustrating in the beginning, but it is a rewarding development cycle. Check out the articles at A List Apart

ALA

They helped me on my way. I've just completed the framework for a table-less intranet site. Its getting rave reviews, and it was easy to put together. For your design, I suggest thinking about containers within containers, especially for the footer section.
