Hello all, I am new to these forums and I am looking for help with my layout now I know it contains validation errors from the WC3 site and its a tabled layout vs a CSS layout but I have no idea how to do the CSS Layout... Anyways, here is my problem.

this site http://tdwp.thriftygrafix.com/index.php?Pa...1209_014443.jpg that is the part of my site I am having problems with, I am working on it its a WoW Guild site and at the moment there is a view difference when looking at it in Firefox and internet explorer. It works how I want it to in Firefox but users with IE can't view it right. If you could please help me make it display correctly in both firefox and IE I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
BJ Moreton

sometimes i also encounter this kind of problem, the layout in firefox seems to be all ok but if you view it in IE it was all messed up...

or its vice versa, no problem in IE but when you go take a look in FF the layout is out of place especially the sidebar in blog sites.

thats why i keep on asking help to my friend to fixed it. hope someone can help you. i know they will.

I recommend that you start by fixing the markup errors reported by our online validator.

There, the errors have been fixed the two thats left can't be fixed as far as I know as their part of a url. Now it displays right I *think* to me it does but I guess I need some others opinion whenever they get online. Crazy how the simplest errors can throw the site completely off... Any ideas how to fix the last two errors remaining?

Thanks again!!

Edit:

Alright I just found out it doesn't work correctly in IE doesn't take up the entire page(100%) any idea how to fix that? I looked around and all my table heights are set to 100% but it still does nothing... =\

See Ampersands (&'s) in URLs in our list of common HTML validation problems.

There we go no more errors, thanks for your help on that part... Now I have this problem where in BOTH IE and Firefox the website seems to look like a widescreen TV or something, lol... Any idea what is going on there?

I'm not sure I understand. What do you want to be different?

I would like for the layout to take up the entire screen, right now I see this huge white space at the bottom of the layout on both IE and Firefox. Anyway at all to fix that or is it just me and the white space isn't there for anyone else?

That is is to wide maybe? That is because there are too many too wide things side by side.

I see pale blue, rather than white. You haven't specified a background color for the body element.

That doesn't change the fact that I want the layout to take up the entire screen and not have anything showing at the bottom. I want nothing at all to be showing at the bottom except the layout, no white,pale blue or anything at all...

Are we looking at the same page? I see "�2008-2010 BJ Moreton" against black at the very bottom.

I am very sorry, I forgot I sent the picture link and not the main sites link. Pages like this http://tdwp.thriftygrafix.com/index.php?Page=Pictures have that white space, and pages with very little center content have a white space at the bottom. I have no idea why it happens...

FWIW, I see an area with an undefined background on both the pages you've linked to.

I think you're looking for 100% height css layout .

So there is no way at all to make a table take up 100% of the page? Would hate to have to recode something...

The other page takes up about 175% of my screen so it sort of evens out.
