Hi,
I've just finished this site: http://www.nhp.com.es/stevenjones/ and it views perfectly in all browswers (including IE7), except for IE6… the image gallery pushes the whole content off to one side. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Thanks!  |

I recommend that you start by fixing the HTML errors and CSS errors reported by the online tools.

I've had a look, and thanks for the recommendation.
A lot of it seems unnecessary as they aren't actually errors, but I'll clean up the ones that are. Still, what I'm after is some clue as to why in 5 browsers the page shows perfectly, then it an old version (or common version) of IE (6), the page is out of place. I don't know anything about web programming… but any answers would be very much ppreciated |

The coding for the Slider comes from a professional site… the 'errors' say things like don't use uppercase, but then the coding doesn't work. So I think it's a bit over the top what it reports. Maybe it an error with IE6. |

Trust us - they're errors. You have things like mismatched </a> tags, proprietary tags like <nobr>, one closing <head> tag too many, unescaped variables etc...
If you fix those, then we can get down to the business of browser quirks (of which IE 6.0 has squillions). If you eliminate these errors, it'll make what is causing IE 6.0 to misrepresent your page that much more simpler. Agreed? |

Ok… only prob is I'm not a web designer/programmer… so things like <nobr> I have to leave there because it says here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/cmotiongallery.htm "Do NOT remove the <nobr> tag nor the two outer DIV tags!" …so I can't really start doing stuff like that without breaking the code. However, I'll try my best to clean up those extra head tags… Thank you for all your comments!  |

However, some of the errors aren't 'errors'… they are the code placed into the doc by FLASH – it can't be that Adobe write bad code?? So after inserting a Flash element, is it ok to change the automatic code from Adobe? |
