    How to standardize!

    I've got a page that doesn't render in anything but Internet Explorer (but in IE it does it pretty darn well). I want to spread the glory to other browsers like cheez whiz on a hot summer day.

    Basically what I'm asking, is there a guide to standardizing webpages to a specific standard that most (Mozilla, Opera, NAV, IE) will understand?

    Run it through here: http://validator.w3.org/

    And it'll tell you everything that's wrong with it.

    it only runs in IE because IE will ignore your sloppy coding. no offense Sas,

    you need to take out the 2 ending body tags and insert one at the very end right before </html>

    Scoutt - I know, I built it for IE. At the time catering to other browsers was not an issue but now it has become one.

    And about the two body tags, what in heaven's name are you talking about?

    I went to your site http://www.crystal-rain.com/

    but I am not sure if that is the one you are talking about.

    He probably means this:
    http://www.crystal-rain.com/preview/

    The only thing I can see wrong with it is some extra spaces everywhere.

    And by the way, your site just dies when you try to validate it. Many, many things wrong. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...1+Transitional

    Half the stuff you have in your code doesn't exist (except for in IE). Such as the margin code. Consider using CSS for this.

    Yea, I know. I'm the non-standard guy as I mentioned before

    Thats an old copy, and I'm still trying to get IIS configured on my local computer (win2k) so I can test it locally. Thanks for everything guys.

    That was the site, Hobo, and would you suggest I go pick up a book on CSS3? I don't like wading through websites.

    the preview site looked good in NS4.7x

    and I wouldn't worry about going to css3, NS6.x might support it, but not NS4.xx

    so what problems did you have as you said it wasn't viewablein NS browses. I seen it no problem.
