"Suggestions Please" Topic

Hi All,

I'm looking for any sugegstions on my website

theregulations.com

Particularly from non-internet explorer folks. I've had some issues from people using Firefox and Safari (Mac OSX) with missing/bad links (within the site) (particularly in the campaigns area – although some areas in here are password protected).

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Hos459!

I'm using the latest Firefox update, and can't get any of your links to work, with the exception of the Contact Us links. The main text on your page comes out looking like one giant hyperlink, only without any ability to actually click on it. Mousing over your links on the side bar makes the whole deal highlight ala a hyperlink.

It does seem to work fine in IE, however.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Steve – that at least give me a better decription of what at least the Firefox users were getting ;-)

Thanks Very Much.

I use Opera. Again the main text is coming up as hypertext on each page. Generally when I hover on it: so it will presumably be the "mouse over" code that's doing it.

Some of it still manages to link through though.

Some of the links work. The "SYW regulataions" page seems fine. But only half the main page ones work.

p.s. Probably best if external links open in a new window.

Surely the best thing to do would be to install Firefox yourself and try it against your website? Personally I use Firefox all the time now. IE just doesn't compare.

I think the problem is that IE tends to do things slightly "non-standard". I have an idea that if you get a website to work properly in Firefox it will work properly with any other browser (IE included).

Hos, did you upload your changes yet? Its still doing the link stuff when I view in FF.

1 question, why are all your divs? absolute positioned? But I think another issue is you are calling the naming the Divs to what I believe you want to be your CSS style classes. I would try something like this

div id=main class=centerDoc

with starting/ending brackets of course. But thats one problem that jumped out at me when first viewing your source. Another is your css styles have a zindex, why? I dont think the zindex will cause alot of problems but I dont think you need it either.

Using a table might be an easier solution for you
[table width=100%]
[tr]
[td width=desired width for nav area]
[/td]
[td width=desired width for main area]
[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

Not saying you cant do it with divs just seems like this might be a quicker way for you to fix it. THen just set your basic pages styles for links etc…

Hope that helps

Well, after an interesting afternoon I THINK I've got most of the coding errors (fingers crossed).

Good idea Mike, time to bite the bullet and grab Firefox :-)

Cheers All

Well, thanks all for the suggestion – I've got pretty much all the issues sorted out (only one left is that on SOME pages Firefox doesn't pick up the CSS for some reason, but the info and links are there so I can live with that for the moment).

Thanks again.
