Hello !

I really have some problem to understand wy my website tlooks so different under I.E / Safari and Firefox.

Firefox displays my web as I want but with Safari I got a long blank column on the right before the language menu.

On I.E the right part of this place doesn't seem to strectch and understand the </br> tags.

Anyone have an Idea ?

Is there a CSS way to fix this ?

My place is http://news.itsartmag.com

thanks a lot

Hi!

The first thing to do when such problems arise is to validate your HTML:

http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1 ... %2Fnews%2F

shows you that there are many errors in your HTML. Some not so serous ones (like the ones about META and LINK) but also many serous ones like missing closing tags. Please try to go through them and fix as many errors as you can. Most probably it's just a missing closing div that is making the browsers act differently.

HTH,

First thanks for your reply.
Sadly, I don't really understand where the problem can be as most the errors seems to be part of plugin and not inside my entries.

A lot of </br> tags seem to be wrong but part of the del.ici.ous, technorati, annouce entry plugin.

Thanks

Hi!

Thanks, you were right, the HTML errors mostly stem from the "findmore" plugin, where in the plugin_findmore.tpl file the entities were not properly escaped. I just fixed that in the plugin, but it shouldn't cause problems for you.

The "</br>" tags only occur in your HTML nugget which you entered manually. Please correct this plugin and replace the tags to "<br />". Then it might fix your issue?

thanks, I've fixed the wrong escape br tags.

The right column always displayed a large blan space before showing the first plugin (language choose). It works fine under firefox.

i've removed the CSS compatibility plugin to tes if there are any differences without luck

Hi!

Sadly I use Windows so I cannot test Safari with your page. But both my Firefox and IE6 show the same, proper output. No blank padding space or garbaged sidebar...

Best regards,
