bump!

I’m looking for more info around this, too.

Thanks! It’s still got me stumped!

I’m bumping this again…

As much as I don’t like the idea of bumping posts up, I’m bumping this up.

Surely someone has come up against this problem before?
And if they haven’t, I’m sure the solution would be of benefit to many.

You’ll find that some of the errors are only as a result of earlier ones, so it’s best just to start at the top of the list and repair and revalidate each until you’re clean.

Try removing the ‘border’ attribute from the table tag altogether. If your table does need a border, add it using CSS.

If your HTML and CSS skills need honing, or you just need some reference material, https://www.w3schools.com is a great resource.

You’re welcome, David.

You may want to check your site in some browsers other than IE – I use Firefox, and the ‘wrapper’ div is not centered.

In your CSS, try changing the margin settings for #wrapper from

margin:0px 0px 0px 12px;

to

margin:0 auto;

a) Have you checked that the output validates? (https://validator.w3.org)

b) Could you give us a link to your page/site?

Something appears to be missing here:

<div class="pagetitle">
" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?>
</div>

Try posting your code inside backticks.

Are you able to determine if the resultant code is valid?

Use the W3C validator to validate your HTML output.

1. The white line appears to be part of the background image, which is repeating:
#content {margin:0; padding:0px 0 0 0; width: 555px; float:left; background-image:url('images/dapithapon_maincontentbg.gif');background-repeat:repeat; background-position:0px 0px; text-align:center;}

Try changing ‘background-repeat:repeat’ to ‘background-repeat:no-repeat’.

2. I can’t reproduce this.

A good place to start would be to get your code to validate; first your XHTML and then your CSS.

I’ll take a look at it for you. dwillisATparadiseDOTnetDOTnz

Some more thoughts on this:

I was thinking I could use the PHP function ‘stristr()’ to check the URL (‘get_category_link($cat)’) against a hard-coded string containing the name of the parent category, but then I’d have to abandon using ‘wp_list_cats’ and hard-code the other category navigation items.

Sigh.

Do you have a link to the page that you’re working on?

I’m not sure what DOCTYPE you’re using, but you should also use self closing ‘br’ tags:
<br />
