My Site + Firefox 3 Alpha's by Eddie on 03-21-2007 at 09:59 AM
Ok with my website http://www.haboz.net whenever somebody tries and view it with Firefox 3 Alpha 2 it goes all weird, if you have Alpha 2 and go to my site you will see what i mean, i know it is an alpha, and we advise people downgrade to older versions but people still try and browse the site with it, if anybody knows why it does what it does then please let me know, because i want it fixed sooner than later

Well, that's because your HTML source is VERY incorrect.
To be very honest, it's the biggest pile of random code i've ever seen and i'm very surprised it even works in other browsers...
I suggest you read through the HTML basics again

Half the code was written using Dreamweaver, and some was recently updated.

ok your website is horrible.
- you have no doctype
- you are using multiable <html> tags where there should only one opening and one closing tag per document
- you have random closing tags when there are no opening tags
- you have elements like <style type="text/css"></style> which does nothing
- more random closing tags
- you have a doctype half way down your page, oh and another set of <head> tags
- some crappy copyright which doesnt include "i copied and pasted this code hence why it is pure crap"
Edit
there is no possible way that crap was made using dreamweaver

If the HTML source of a page is incorrect the browser switches to Quirks mode, where it tries to make the best out of the page.
I guess they changed the Quirks behavior in

That's what I used (link originally given by Felu) to check up my new site.

After clearing a MASSIVE amount of bugs, this now works:

Can you check and make sure?
Heaps missing, but i will just have to find new ways of coding it in.

hey, how are you?
I want you to know that whatever I am going to write is not meant to be taken in a mean way. It is only meant to be understood so your website can actually get better.
As mentioned above, the coding isn't that great at all, you got tables all over the place, and it makes people think if this is really worth a domain, of if it is only a try at coding a website, which should end up somewhere on geocities.com
Anyhow, please take the advice given above, and do read the w3 section about HTML and CSS. It WILL help, trust me, I used to code worse than you.. (not that I code perfectly now, but much better, and even I can see the difference).
It won't take you that much time, and will be worth it.
Good luck.

But i will read them in the future, thanks
