RE: Bug report for the website

Haha, Well, IE for some reason is sometimes special or not. Did a browser check on your page patchou and got this log:

Line 485: In Internet Explorer 5.0 the tag <IMG> cannot contain a tag <TABLE>.
Line 43: In Internet Explorer 5.0 the tag <SPAN> cannot contain a tag <NOSCRIPT>.

Yeh, weird.

Also, Patchou, Here are some suggestions you might want to test:

Try replacing:

quote:
<img border="0" src="http://files.msgplus.net/images/gfdd.gif" width="166" height="42" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="2">

with:

quote:
<img style="float: right" img border="0" src="http://files.msgplus.net/images/gfdd.gif" width="166" height="42" align="right" hspace="10" vspace="2">

2) Try using your css (style.css) for the image and put in no repeat. something like:
background-image:no-repeat;

I don't know much about CSS but just a small suggestion. And, I don't know what "background-attachment: fixed;" does so...If you do try to test it with CSS, Might want to insert *something* like this:

quote:
list-style-image: url('http://files.msgplus.net/images/gfdd.gif') no-repeat;

Hey, I don't know much about css so.... Good luck.

Argh, that's ugly

Attitude Extreme: would you mind saying in which other pages does it happen? Maybe that way we can find the problem more easily.

as for 1) (replacing align="right" with the css alternative), that would not solve anything :-/

, the whole footer div is moved upwards, not only the GFDD logo.

And as for 2), I don't fully understand your suggestion... you mean using the gfdd logo as a background instead of inserting it inline? Well, that wouldn't work because of the link that is currently in the image, and because there is already a bg assigned for that div (an extra div would have to be added). Anyway, that shouldn't be the problem either.

I don't know what it is, since I just saw it was reported before in features_all.php (a very long page) but it's not happening for me there on Firefox 1.0 (it does in the registry page).

Keep the reports coming

[edit2] I've seen it happens on this forums from time to time, and given it doesn't happen in Opera i'm guessing it's a rendering bug in Firefox (yes they exist guys). It could be frontpage's fault, though: I'll try to check the full code if I get the time.

RE: Bug report for the website

Well, the threads about this beheviour are all over the forums. But one thing always pops up: Mozilla based browser (and not only the new ones). Also, I have seen these same "errors" on other pages on the net as well (which don't use any form of cascade styling; although the errors look the same, it could be something else also though).

IMHO, it has something todo with how the page is loaded by your browser (images first/last, lag on downloading images, etc..., something like that). IF this is a CSS-error which can be fixed, it would be extremely hard/impossible to debug and find the fix. IF this is a Gecko bug, it is a very very very old one, because it also happens with old versions of it (like Netscape 7.0).

I don't think the solution should be found by debugging the Plus!-pages (as this would be almost impossible as the bug can't be reproduced on command), but by searching the web for reports about this...

And in the main time, this is nothing that a simply press on F5 (refresh) can't fix, so...

EDIT1: crap :lol:

For only the sake of myself I hope that the bug isn't fixed by removing the </div> or I'm pwnd big time

EDIT2: Patchou, you should try Netscape then (even less buggy (for now... still...))

EDIT3: problem still not fixed it seems... *phew*

RE: Bug report for the website

Ok, found the problem... there was a </div> tag that had nothing to do where it was... I have no idea how it could produce what it was producing (the tag was at the end of the page, not in the middle), but at least, the problem is no solved.

Btw, I have to admit, Firefox is pretty neat.

If the extra div tag isn't there, then the problem is still not fixed...
