Have a IE/FF issue

[rj]

I recently changed the blog from % width to fixed 1024. FF and Chrome it works fine. IE - seems no matter what version - the titles and text of articles bleed far into the right sidebar.

Any help would be appreciated...

RJ - I really hate diving into css/html troubleshooting when a site does not validate... I run yours through a validator and it reports nearly 200 errors... your problem might be solved by correcting those errors. Any chance you can knock out as many of those as possible? I'm sure we can help you with some of them if you need it.

Ahhhh.... It was a bad code in an a simple article.
Sorry to bother yall! I feel dumb...

I strongly suggest you address whatever validation errors you can on your own.. some of them look quite simple to solve. Then we can move on from there. Its not that I cannot assist you, I just don't want to spend my time doing things I am fairly certain you can do on your own.

Now, if we are talking $XXX/Hr for assistance, that will be a different story!!!

hehehe.... Trouble is I am heavy into flash videos and W3 hates that... Just a simple YOUTUBE is pretty much unfixable...
And I still have not found a viable way at w3 to figure out LINE in what files?
Makes no sense to me... Is there some simple advice you can give on that...

Actually, I can help you with that shitty embed code you are using RJ... I guess the next question is "should I help you"??!!!

OK, that was cruel..... hehehehe

Have tried to assist you many times, and hope I have done so well enough. I assume you are aware of my Kinetic template... I wrote a tutorial on embedding a video in the sidebar. While this may not be what you want, the CODE suggestions in my tutorial apply to you.

I went and read that! I am enlightened!
I understand I just take your code, use it each time and just substitute the youtube /info behind last slash in two places...
Problem is... We use mostly embeds from Comedy Central, MSNBC and SNL, and we do about 5 videos each day... The MSNBC is tuff nut, its one little line of IFRAME. Comedy Central I already tweak down from 100 lines to 4 lines. OBJECT... So your youtube code may work, i will give it a test soon.
We also use embeds from everywhere else quite often, and i serve my own flash, code I paid for!

What I really wanted to know though, is at w3 when I type in my domain to check, it gives the errors in line numbers and I have no idea line numbers in what? Where... What file? I have spent time there and always get stuck at that point...

When using the validator press the "More Options" button and then "Show source", when you run you will see the source code that it validated.
