HTMLHelp Forums _ General Web Design _ Errors when loading in IE7

Posted by: irjason Jun 25 2012, 04:40 PM

Hi, I am doing a website as a college project and I have came stuck with not really understanding how to make it compatible with IE7 when i open the website in Firefox everything looks fine. But in IE7 there is a lot of horrible white space in places that it should not be. I was wondering if anyone could help me understand why this is happening. And i have kinda of left this totally to the last minute since i need to hand it in tomorrow. I have attached the site to this post so if anyone would help me understand what i need to change it would be great. The template was made in Photoshop and exported via Photoshop. Thanks in advance!

I see nothing special in IE7? I looked at the index page. Is that the right one?

You should run this through the validator anyway and fix the errors. And you can't invent elements on your own as for example TITLE2, GREY2 and GREYFONT.

Thank you for looking at it and it might be easier to explain it in images on the issues i have ran across.

This is what the index page looks like in firefox

IPB Image

and when i load it in Ie it looks like this

So the issue is the white space that Ie creates with the image spacing i think its something to do with white-space from what i have found so far looking on google for a hour but have no idea what to do to fix this since my knowledge is very little.

I found out the issue since i didn't use tables to wrap the text it was causing the horrible issue above.. well i feel stupid for not thinking of that sooner and trying 100 different things that were over complicated! XD
