Working on a uni assignment, have to create a portfolio website.

Luckily, I chucked one together over the summer to try and get some work placements, BUT Internet Explorer keeps messing things up.

I suspect its the padding on certain boxes, but it could be anything.

the web address is www.m73a.com it works fine in Firefox and other browsers.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Maybe tell us what is wrong, looks fine to me in IE.

Also, you have a button which says your site passes CSS validation, when it, in fact, does not.

ah crap i must have updated it since i added it. i'll get on that.

In the IE im using, it has horizontal scrolls. (im taking the div overflow out and am just going to make longer full pages.)

Also IE seems to double margins or padding and theres large gaps in places causesing problems, like when i test it the contact button is only half visible because it has been pushed down.

* M73A goes to see whats wrong with the css (oh i added lightbox, i'll check it out later lecture now!)

Lightbox 2 now validates

erm, right so this is what im having trouble with:

No sign of that over here. By IE, do you mean IE 6 or IE in general (I tested it with IE 8)?

IE 8 works, IE7 or IE8 in compatibility mode cause problems. I've "fixed" it now. SORT OF by just hiding overflowing content and I have just given up with the chunk that is a bit bigger than i would have liked now! Unless anyone can explain what's IE7's problem!

I see no yellow text anymore when hovering over the menu, just a white box in Opera/FF/IE8. Worked a few minutes ago << edit: fixed again, apparently
And why care about IE7 at all?

because people use it for some reason, its just something we'd get marked down on.

yeah IE7 or IE8 in compat. mode (which is IE7 rendering) renders stuff differently than IE8 and Mozilla.

Wild shot, but I sometimes have faced the same/similar problems, never could get it right (I'm no expert in css either though). Some stuff was 'fixed', as in: it showed as I would have liked it to show, by simply removing the Doctype. The "Transitional" term in it often causes such strange stuff. It's of course not a real solution if you want to be compliant with the W3C 'rules'.

I wish I had known that doctype thing earlier, lol. i've finally given up and got it close enough to what I need. Shall try that next time! lol

thanks
