Hi,
On our website we have allot of pages where the boxes gap and do not match up like there suppose to and are in different places on allot of browsers. Just wondering why this is happening and how to fix it.
Examples:
Thank you!
You’ll need to give us more detail…
Which browsers does it work right in, and which does it go wrong in?
Which precise bits are wrong, and what is wrong with them?
Theirs a huge gaps between where the content is.
Example: Domain Name Whois Protection Service
“Domain Protection” content should be level with “Live Sales Chat”
Thanks!
This image is as simple as I can get it: http://www.1techmedia.com/gap.jpg
how are developing the pages?
I don’t think there should be any problem in moving some blocks in any language.
Pages are in HTML and CSS, Not sure how to move it up to where “should be right here” on the image.
Thanks!
Was it the same when you first developed or did it happen because of some changes that you made later on?
It was the same but some pages look correct.
Thanks!
Sorry, but code like this:
<td bgcolor="#FFE364" style="width: 150" nowrap><p style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 10; margin-bottom: 10" align="center"><b><font size="2">
is not fit for purpose. There is quite simply no excuse for using layout tables, presentational attributes and inline CSS. This code has been deprecated for over 10 years – that means that for over 10 years, there have been better methods that you should have been using.
Table-based layouts are always difficult to debug, because people always set them up in their own, ahem, unique way. Nested table layouts are worse. Nested table layouts five levels deep should never, never, never have been contemplated under any circumstances whatsoever. Yes, the innermost table, where you’re looking at the features included in the 1 and 2 year packages, is right to be a table - that’s tabular data, so it’s correct. But the other four tables are all an abuse of markup, and need to be got rid of.
There may be other people who are more patient than I am at debugging dinosaur designs, who can help you bodge and hack this into the shape you want. My personal advice is to start with a clean sheet of paper and build the design from scratch without the layout tables.
I have to agree with Stevie D, I considered sticking 10mins away to give this a bash but my heads spinning!
