CSS Display issues in Firefox

    Hi, all,

    I think my problem is fairly specific, and can’t find anything in the Forum to help, so…

    My website looks fine in IE, but a couple of pages falter badly in Firefox. I don’t tend to use Firefox, and I’m not a champion league CSS-er (more of a fidgeter who gets the job done), so I’ve no idea how to fix it, although knowing the pages where it happens, I suspect that it’s a float: left issue.

    The pages are here: https://elephantwords.co.uk/schedule/ and here https://elephantwords.co.uk/writers/nicolas-papaconstantinou/ … does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I’m happy to provide any more info not given by viewing source…

  • You could try closing your “wrap” div first. You’re missing a closing div tag.

    Hmm… You know, I thought I’d tried every permutation of extra </div> tags… Did you spot a specific discrepancy in the two pages that are flunking out?

    Also, do you use any particular method for working out which divs lack closing tags, or do you literally just go through the code and tally up the numbers? I’d be really interested to know… I use IE’s diagnostic tool, and Dreamweaver, but even with those, I still have to count through code to really spot where problems lie…

    No, I use the xhtml validator.

    Okay…

    So I’m looking at this, and realise that it’s definitely something to do with the CSS, but sadly no permutation of putting in the extra </div> has actually fixed it.

    Anyone else got any ideas? I can’t work on this at work, because we aren’t allowed Firefox… I’d really appreciate someone finding a solution for this for me, as I suspect it’s a matter of doing some kind of CSS hacking for Firefox.

    fix the validation errors that are present, specifically the structural errors

    You don’t need firefox to do that. and if you determine that you do if you cant do it at work, do it at home.

    If you want to mess with the CSS and cant do it at work, then do it at home.
