IE Problems

[njj942]

I'm having some problems with oscommerce and IE. I've been throwing the catalog together on a really short time frame and trying to incorporate it into the existing layout of the existing website so my code is kinda a mess and I haven't had a chance to clean it up so please excuse the disaster. The problems that I'm having are the tables aren't displaying correctly so instead of aliging them horizontally across the page in the proper columns they are displaying one after the other vertically. What's causing the column widths to be too wide? Is it in the css or in the includes? Is it a border and a padding compounding each other or something? I noticed that there are table widths that are assigned to be 100%, but I can't seem to figure out where/how to correct that if it is even the issue...

 

Also the images aren't displaying in IE, but they are in firefox. I tried the fix that I found searching the forums here, but that didn't work.

 

Sorry I'm pretty new at all this web developing stuff and I always have problems with IE, F*@king Micro$oft. :angry:

 

Here is a link to where I have the catalog up: My Catalog Again please excuse the mess in the code... :-" :-"

 

Btw. Everything looks a lot better in firefox, not perfect yet, but a lot better.

 

Thanks,

Nate

173 errors in your mark-up, fix that first then focus on design...

Thanks for reminding me about checking the validation.

 

One issue that I'm noticing is that a lot of the errors are found in the includes... Why is this? What should the doctype be for the catalog. I have it set as transitional right now, is that correct??

 

Thanks,

Don't blame microsoft for your coding errors, look at it as a learning experience.

Are you using a template? The problem is not IE rather the code. Check the <div id="content"> section. IE is not as forgiving as firefox.
