Serendipity Forums

I installed content in an HTML nugget. It works fine in IE but when viewed on Firefox or chrome it only shows the first flash banner. I reinstalled the code in firefox, but it still wont work. Here is the link, view it with both browsers and you will see what I mean. http://percomonline.com/ecastudents/blogweb/

Any advice would be welcome.

Throw the site at the W3C Validator.

There are 22 errors, some of these are likely to be causing rendering issues with FF.

Ok threw it at the tester and saw the errors you referred to. They are all in the serendipity app. none of the errors occur within the lines that involve the html nugget. Still stumped

There are fundamental parsing errors that may have knock on issues further in the html. There are divs that are in upper case e.g. <DIV> that are not matched/legal.

I would strongly suggest that if you get the errors reduced the problem will be easier to solve.

No, they are not. They are errors in template coding. Follow Steve's advice... address each of those validator errors first which might ultimately lead to a resolution of your nugget problems. If not, at least we will know they are not part of the problem which will help us better assist you.

Not sure if you are still interested.... the site has a few problems that might be confusing Firefox. If you load the page and then view source you will see at the end of the file As Don has stated you need to look at your template, there are also unmatched </div> entities for each blog entry.

Ok I had to put this down for a while dealing with more pressing issues. So what I am reading is I need to fix the template. Only problem is I can't find where to access it at. I installed the app using RV sitebuilder. It came with the program. I clicked add the blog and configured the DB and viola there is the blog. There was no "chose a template" choice or a way to mod it there. In the documentation for serendipity I saw that there should be a "manage styles" link under appearence that is not available on my install. I am not a tech wiz, but I am pretty sharp, if you could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. This is the version I am using "Powered by Serendipity 1.3 and PHP 5.2.11"

Hi!

Yeah, when using RV sitebuilder you usually have no filesystem accesss to the templates. You need to install Serendipity by using FTP to upload it.
