I use Firefox. I have done for years and years.

 

Ive just spent 6 hrs setting up my /catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php file..... looking at it in Firefox only to discover that its all over the show when I view it in Opera and IE.

 

Its obviously an issue with Firefox and not Opera or IE, but how can I overcome it?

 

Are there ways round discrepancies in interpretation of HTML?

 

If its possible ill attach my index.php.

I think there is something wrong with your code

in Chrome i canot see the categories in Opera I canot see the text inside the brownish boxes .

 

In firefox the text overlaps with the categories section.

 

 

PS

BTW make your buttons green or brown or yellow or something

All seems ok with Firefox on my laptop and pc.

 

IE doesnt show any text.

 

Chrome chops a line of text off when its maximised but is all over the place when its not maximised.

 

And Safari!!! a million miles from ok.

 

 

 

It must be my code. I dont really know what im doing.. hence 6hrs! I thought id finally got there too.

Ok, Ive started again.

I hope I dont over complicate my problem!

 

Ive got my html code which I would like to put in the centre of my index page (ie, between the column_right and column_left)

 

Ive added my code to /catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php

 

but the bits im trying to add just end up in the top left hand corner of my /catalog/index.php

 

Can someone please help!?

 

Ive thought about trying to turn my code into a box and then add the box to /catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php but im not sure if thats right.

Just had a look at your code, and the first thing I noticed was that your <head> tags are in the wrong place.

 

You have a lot of code listed before the head tags, which could be part of the problem.

 

 

I assume you are trying to get the four boxes within the body of your site. If this is the case, then you need to remove the div styling that is positioning your boxes absolutely. Your code for one of the boxes is as follows;

 

<div id="text1" style="position:absolute; overflow:hidden; left:2px; top:5px; width:248px; height:172px; z-index:4">

 

This will result in the div being placed 5px from the top of the screen and 2px from the left of the screen - regardless of where you put the code.

 

You need to change it to relative.

i don't know if you can do anything about it now, but when i go to www.hydro-organicsuk.co.uk all i can see is www.hydro-organicSUK.co.uk - to me, instead of the domain reading Hydro-Organics UK, the domain reads Hydro-Organic SUK - even with the banner there telling me that it's not what i'm seeing...

 

which is probably not what you wanted...

 

it's kind of like the (now defunct) Pen Island domain - www.penisland.com - you know what it says, but it's not what you see it saying.

Thanks for the replies.

 

I changed absolute to relative. The "left:2px;" was ok but the "top:5px" was miles out. Some were over 1000px out. I just set them to -1000 etc.

 

 

Many Thanks for the help.

 

Ive not come across the Hydro-Organic SUK. Thats a new problem!
