Hello, I am still learning code, and I am having trouble with some elements on this page (only in FireFox).
http://adgraphics.us/ChannelLetters/ChannelLetters.html
They are way outside of center. I did not change anything on the page, it just started happening. It also just started happening to another page. Can anyone please show me the problem with the code?
Thank you, BeachKing

I'm assuming you mean it works in IE but it is IE that is the problem. You are missing a doctype and IE is in quirks mode. Never, ever use IE as a reference for how things work. It's the worst browser on the planet.
I already told you the problem. You don't have a doctype. It doesn't matter how it looks in IE till it's set in the modern browsers. Put this as your first line:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
That will screw up IE cause it's not a modern browser but help everything else, but IEs multitude of problems are well documented.
Thanks again for your help. I followed your recommendation regarding the doctype, but it had no effect on this page. http://adgraphics.us/ChannelLetters/ChannelLetters.html
As a matter of fact, the doctype is missing on every page on this website, and all other pages look fine in all browsers. I tried adding many different doctype codes, but none of them resolved this particular problem in Firefox browser. FYI: This page looks fine in IE and Safari, the problem is in Firefox browser.
Might you have another suggestion for this issue?
Thank you again.
Again, how it looks in IE is of no concern at the beginning. It's like using a broken calculator to check your math. Ignore it at first.
A doctype is required of all new web pages. The link you now show is using the transitional doctype. New web pages have no need for transitional. Either use the doctype I showed above, or use this one: - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
-
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
The doctype is the very first thing you put on a web page when you begin writing the markup. Then you check it in a modern browser (never IE at first). If you didn't do either first, you're in for a world of problems.
Also, validate your html and css.
I also see you are using XHTML end tags for the meta, script and link elements, the />, but you are declaring HTML and serving it as HTML. Thus some of the errors. Remove the slash as shown by the validator and correct any other remaining errors.
Hello, I am self taught (still learning code), so I do not understand most of what you were suggesting. Never-the-less, I appreciate your help. After praying to God, He finally showed me what the problem was (I wish I would've asked Him sooner). One of the cells was corrupt. So, after I replaced it, the page viewed okay. Thanks again, BeachKing
Well, no, that was not the problem. Even though you got this instance to work, you will continue to have problems until you put the doctype in.
Thank you for the reply. I do understand that the doctype needs to be there, I am just not clear on which one I need. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Please speak in beginner (layman) terms if you are gracious to explain it.
All web pages need the doctype on the very first line.
Yes, I have already acknowledged that the doctype code needs to be there. What I don't know is . . . what specific doctype code does my web page need please? (Are you thoroughly reading my replies?) Thank you.
I already talked of this. However, I looked more closely at your markup and noticed you are using deprecated code. That is, you are using HTML which is no longer recommended to be used, such as any of the attributes in the tags like 'align' and 'valign'. Those will be flagged as errors by the validator so you need to use the 'transitional' doctype while you "transition" to eliminating those things (and instead use CSS for alignment). - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
-
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Thank you again for all your help. It is much appreciated. I have already added the code and will continue to study the subject.
