Having trouble with alignment in Internet Explorer.

2 New Member
Greetings all:

Basically, my picture container is showing up centered and exactly where I want it in Chrome and Firefox, but when I open it in IE6 and 7 the whole thing shifts completely to the left of the page.

Am I doing something wrong code wise, is it an IE glitch...?

Any and all help deeply appreciated!

The specific page is: http://www.btypedesign .com/index-1.html

Thank you.

Having problems with any version of Internet Explorer is expected, natural and common. It's the worst browser on the planet. 12 years behind all others in modern standards and practices. Inept at best.

Also, IE6 does not work like IE7 which doesn't work like like IE8 which won't work like IE9 and none of them work like any modern browser.

To get IE to attempt to perform like the other far more modern browsers, you need a doctype. Add this to your first line:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
  2.    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
  3.  
  4.  
And hope for the best. No one should ever use Internet Explorer.

I hear you, drhowarddrfine! I've hated IE since it's birth. Still used Netscape instead of IE until Firefox came out...that's how much I hated it!
Thank you for the response! I will definitely try it out and see what happens...hopef ully it works. If not, I'll just put a large disclaimer on the page advising to switch to any other browser if you wish to enter site! J/K

Again, thank you!

I want to show a custom window above the HTML display much like the Info bar in XP SP2. Within IE, the Internet Explorer Server window is a child of a Shell Doc Object View; I've subclassed the SHDOCVW, and created a child window. The odd thing happens when the HTML window gets moved and sized to fit below the child: it doesn't repaint itself based on the new size- internally, it must still think it's the old size. The bottom portion of...

I have recently started checking how accessible my web sites are to the Pocket PC using Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE). The main trouble I have discovered is with aspx pages in which I use an iframe having as source a htm page or another aspx page. PIE does not render iframes, so those embedded pages do not display. Is there a method, not using iframes, that will allow you to embed one aspx page within another aspx page? (I can work...

Hi, I often like to include some JavaScript coding in my web pages to make them more interesting. Unfortunately, even when this coding is as simple as a check to see what the display width is in pixels so that pictures on the page can be adjusted to better fit the display, Internet Explorer detects the coding and blocks it. Of course the user can click on the message displayed above the web page to allow "the active component" but many...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
