NCSULilWolf All American 1707 Posts user info edit post	It's a sample I'm making for a company I may intern with as an editorial intern... See how "August 2006" and "always fabulous..." are left oriented and just look fucked up? On the preview in NVU (open source web developer) it looks fine. Any suggestions? If you have the program I'd be glad to send you the file as well. Thanks anyone!!! See page at: http://www4.ncsu.edu/~lmjeffri/buzz.html [Edited on July 19, 2006 at 7:18 PM.

quagmire02 All American 44225 Posts user info edit post	that code is too ugly to read...everything's all spaced out...blech 7/19/2006 7:22:13 PM
NCSULilWolf All American 1707 Posts user info edit post	i don't read code (prob. where some of my problem is coming in) ^ I'll let you back on my good side if you can tell me how to fix it :-) [Edited on July 19, 2006 at 7:24 PM. Reason : ^] 7/19/2006 7:22:52 PM

NCSULilWolf All American 1707 Posts user info edit post	^ it's not about the technical web structure, it's about the content 7/19/2006 7:27:45 PM
quagmire02 All American 44225 Posts user info edit post	i think he's referring to the code, not your design but then again, it's Noen, so who can tell? 7/19/2006 7:29:26 PM
NCSULilWolf All American 1707 Posts user info edit post	^ yeah, i figured as much. But I don't need to be told I don't know the ins & outs of code... I just need to know how to get it to look like what I want 7/19/2006 7:30:31 PM
smoothcrim Universal Magnetic! 18966 Posts user info edit post	I also ran into this problem, for some reason NVU's generated code looks like garbage in IE, but will work fine in opera and firefox. I haven't found a solution other than just coding it yourself or using dreamweaver [Edited on July 19, 2006 at 7:32 PM. Reason : .] 7/19/2006 7:31:49 PM
NCSULilWolf All American 1707 Posts user info edit post	^ does the page publish and look normal in firefox? 7/19/2006 7:33:36 PM
quagmire02 All American 44225 Posts user info edit post	it's really strange that it would work in opera and firefox, but NOT in ie...ie will generally work with any crap you throw at it 7/19/2006 7:34:48 PM
Charybdisjim All American 5486 Posts user info edit post	^^ So yeah, looks fine in opera and firefox, only looks bad in IE. Convince everyone to stop using IE and that'll fix your problem. You could also try using something like dreamweaver (free trial version's availible) to redo it so it'll render properly in all browsers. http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ [Edited on July 19, 2006 at 7:37 PM.

NCSULilWolf All American 1707 Posts user info edit post	^ yeah... I prefer dreamweaver but I didn't feel like going to campus or dl'ing the trial so I figured I'd give this free one a shot Oh, and it does look good in firefox... go fuckin figure I'm just going to tell the person I'm sending it for to open it in firefox (and dl firefox if she hasn't) 7/19/2006 7:39:18 PM

srvora Veteran 326 Posts user info edit post	Ok dude, the part of the page that concerns the 'August 2006' part looks like this: <tr style="font-family: Franklin Gothic Book;" align="center"> <td colspan="3" style="background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 16px;"><big style="font-weight: bold;"><big><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">August 2006<br> <small><small><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></small></small></span></big></big><big><big><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><small><small style="font-style: italic;"><small></small></small></small></span></big></big></td> </tr> This code is, to be blunt, disgusting. Now, I know you said you don't know code, but this is pretty bad. If you want to rely on WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) programs for creating web pages, switch to something better like Dreamweaver. Best of luck. 7/19/2006 10:14:55 PM
