Theme works in Firefox, crashes and burns in IE

https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.doctoralf.com%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1

Here it looks like it has no stylesheet in IE.

Check path to ie.css? Method of calling ie.css?

Yosemite, I don’t know much about coding (except very very basic html tags) so I don’t really know where to look for the ie.css path…

Also, how can I change the code so that it doesn’t use the <center> tag but centers the text. The code is:

<br />
<center><div class="footnav">
<?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?>
<?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?>
</div></center>

I did find the reference to ie.css and it is correct… any other suggestions as to what it could be?

cheers

For the <center> issue, delete it (don’t know where it came from, but there’s no definition for it). Delete both <center> and </center> leaving everything else alone. Test (and make sure you’re not looking at cached stuph).

As for the rest, I’m afraid it’s getting close to the blind leading the blind ;’)

I took a look at the Iridium package, broke out the ie.css and it looks ‘ok’…

I see you have made some changes, hopefully you’re onto something. For the margin/placement issues take a look at: https://www.quirksmode.org/css/condcom.html

I delted the center tag, which didn’t do much for the page.
Problem now is that “previous entries” and “next entries” on the bottom of the page are now left-aligned, how can I get them to be in the middle of the colum without using the center tags? I know I’m being picky but it looks a little dodgy with “next entries” being stuck on the left side.

Good news, by removing a certain picture from the blog (one which looked crappy in it anyway) I managed to fix the main page (hurray).

I’m still trying to get it to validate, and I would love to know how to center things using xhtml strict.

Just before I mark the topic as resolved, does anybody know why in IE the youtube videos are further to the left than the text around them? I’m using the extreme video plugin (https://www.rossgerbasi.com/2006/01/21/extreme-video-plugin-20/) to embed the videos without using the provided code (so it’ll validate) and it looks fine in firefox, but in IE the videos are too far to the left :S

Any further help would be great and, Yosemite, thanks for all your help so far :o)

Well, you should be able to edit the .footnav ‘class’ (e.g.; add text-align:center; and get a result, but I’m not having any luck here…

I think we’re well past my expertise here… Sorry.

Ahh! The alignment of the video in IE is explained at the link I gave you in earlier post here (IE adds up margins/padding differently). It explains how you might add a conditional comment (only IE will see) to the css.

Cool, I’ll try to fix that later (nearly midnight here).

thanks for all your help

cheers
