some entries appear 'nested'

Post by hirstp »

I hope someone can help me with this problem, which has stumped me! Some of the entries in my blog appear nested - that is one entry appears to be 'contained' within the formatting of a preceding entry. This is not dependent on the particular style/theme, nor on browser.

It seems like maybe there are sometimes </div> tags missing so the next entry is rendered as a sub-unit of the preceding entry.

You can see what I mean on my blog at http://www.hybridsmarts.com although I have this problem on all my serendipity blogs.

I've tried putting in and taking out <p></p> tags within entries, enabling/disabling nl2br plugin, all to no avail.

Has anyone else experienced this and can anyone advise on correcting it?

Thanks

Hi!

I also think that something's wrong with the markup.

Please check

This contains a LOT of errors you might want to fix, then it might be easier to find the right spot. If it also happens with the default template, it definitely is a problem with either one of your plugins or the actual content you enter?

Sadly I have no time to go through your HTML and fix it, so you might need to spend some time on this? :))

Best regards,
Garvin

Thanks for the amazingly speedy response Garvin. Per your suggestion I looked at the code validation and it seemed like the html errors were not in my entries or html nuggets... so I tried again the deafult style and that fixes the problem So - it seems there is a problem with at least two of the Styles at least with my configuration: the Green Mile and Idea both exhibit this problem.

For now I will stick with the default style, but when I get a chance I will look at the html / css in these style definitions to see if there are any obvious problems I can see.

Thanks again - and I am a big fan of Sernedipity and delighted to have recieved personal help from the great Garvin!

You're welcome!

I do think that LordCoffee (the GreenMile author) might be interested in that? I do suggest some wrapping code problem there, but because of the large amount of HTML errors it was not so easy to spot at first sight...

Best regards,
Garvin
