On my computer, my website looks fine. But then when I look at my website using my Ipad or Ipod Touch, the navbar (at the top) is messed up.

Also my gradient (background) does not show on the Ipad. Instead I get this solid light yellow color. I don't know why that happens.

Could you please view my website in your computer screen and let me know how it looks?

In what way is the navbar "messed up"? I don't notice anything obvious.

Our online validator reports a few markup errors:

You specify a background image, but not a background color. The bottom of the background image doesn't blend very well with my browser's default background color.

You specify a height for div#navbar but it is possible for the content to overflow the height you specified.

Hey,
When I look at this (in safari on mac), "Pricing and Payment | Company Info" is to low (it goes into the blue)...

Also, "FAQ's" is on it's own line in the blue.
So, it looks to me like (at least in safari) that you have some kind of spacing issue.

Hope this is helpful to you.

Hello. Thank you for your answer. Do you know how to fix that spacing issue because on the Ipad, the "FAQ's" part is in the blue as well.

Stop specifying the height of div#navbar and let it expand to fit its content.

Hey,
Well, I will have a go at it!:

As Darin said, "Stop specifying the height of div#navbar and let it expand to fit its content."

Also, you can try this to bring FAQ's up:

Right now the bar that "FAQ's" is in looks like this:
CODE

<td width="378"><a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="webdesign.html">Website Design</a> | <a href="videoediting.html">Video Editing</a> | <a href="contactme.html">Contact Me</a> | <a href="faqs.html">FAQ's</a></td>

Try making the width more (say... 450, maybe more) this may allow all the text to fit on one line.

I think your issue is that you are not specifying the appropriate amount of space for each one of you'r <td>'s (which is messing up the text).
Try taking away some space (or completely removing) the middle <td>, between FAQ's and ricing and Payment.

Hope this is helpful!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I forgot that I had a table put in there. I increased the size of the cell and now it works on my Ipad.

Also the gradient now works as well. I changed the background image from 1px wide to 10px wide. I guess the Ipad couldn't pick it up or something.

Thanks again for the help and thank you everyone for your posts.

(Opera) The navigation line
Home | Website Design | Video Editing | Contact Me | FAQ's
ends with "FAQ's" obscured by the logo in the middle.

"FAQ's" is at least peculiar: normally FAQ stands for "Frequently Asked Questions", and does not need a plural, least of all a "Greengrocer's" plural.

The text reads as dreadfully amateurish.

Hey,
Great, it now looks fine (safari on mac).

Brian is definitely right about "FAQ's" (it should lose the "s").

Glad I could help you! smile.gif
