IE And Firefox. Simple Prob

Hi.

Could someone take a look at this site for me please.

http://www.sussexweddingphotography.org.uk

I have basic knowledge and know it will take me ages to fix properly for both browsers. Currently problems with IE8 as you will see. Firefox looks okay, but on different resolutions it plays up. Especially on my notebook..

An expert would prob fix it in minutes.

Thanx in advance

Check your validator results. Your doctype is not quite correct which could be what's causing IE to choke. You have:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
which should be:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I think you have more problems than the text size in IE, unfortunately. Viewing in everything on 1280 by 800 the top of the page is cut off and there is no way to scroll up or down. I cannot read any of the content in #pagetext.

This is in part due to this:

Code:
html {
overflow-y:hidden;
}
but also due to the use of absolute positioning for both #pagetext and #container. You still have virtually the same validation errors as far as I can see, but fixing these alone isn't going to make your page look right.

The biggest problem is the positioning of those divs so I'd suggest removing the absolute positioning, and all the top and left settings, and all the huge negative margins on the divs, and taking a look at what it looks like then.

Sorry, I don't expect you wanted to hear this....

EDIT...I'd also remove the height from #pagetext. Your divs also seem to be the wrong way around - I think #container shouldbe before #pagetext. If I do all this the page doesn't look very nice but at least I can read it...then we can pretty it up a bit.

Okay.

Addressing the cut off issue. This is the one I want to fix. I've deliberately hidden the scrollbars. When viewing on a notebook, small resolution, the image at the top is cut off to a point.

I am just looking at img src tags info. I want to basically fix it so most of the page displays on 1 page, no scrolling. I am using my small notebook as a test bed as this is small screen and smaller resolution and in chrome, so far most things fit on the screen...

Can I resize the image based on resolutions.

Damn Web stuff.

Resizing the image based on resolutions is, I think, an unnecessarily complex solution which doesn't address the issue. Realise this sounds a bit preachy, for which I apologise, but that's just plastering over the cracks and storing problems for later. Ahem....

At the moment, as your page stands, you've got the heading image, then the thumbnails and large image, and some links. They'll fit on without scrolling. Fine. But your other content will need to scroll - either that or take it off the page entirely - or are you trying to have it there but not visible for search engines or something like that?

Cheers.

Yip.

At this stage until I get proper site or content, the content is all about search engine, hence no scrolling and not visible...

Thanx for you help, keep it coming :-)

Don't understand your last two posts I'm afraid. It's still not fine in Firefox.

Yeah. It's not 100% fine but what I could probably do it

Main thing I want to address just now is the IE dramatic font size increase.

I can at least for now strip out the header image 'Sussex Wedding......' and just have the thumbnail images, main image and link txt..

So bare minimum splash screen, that at least looks okay for now and just one visible page

How would you go about fitting all elements on the page.

Just using scrollbars with element positoining correct in the 1st place (not all over the shop like mine) or

Modify elements sizes dependant on screen resolution??

Have a try with setting the font-size on small explicitly - looks like that's what upsetting IE.

Personally, I'd make sure the header and photo fit on without scrolling ,and scroll to the rest of the content.

So set font within

Thanks very much for your help...
