yues, im sure this was probably a thread before. But, if someone could please tell me how, I would probably say thanks to them.

add me to msn [email address redacted] quick time, around 2-3 weeks until new sites released.

I already told you and will tell you again. You can't place objects in a WYSIWYG editor randomly on the page, for it to work you need to have everything in tables

Probably, although its not of much importance due to the fact firefox is a lot less buggy than most browsers anyway

Hey fat videos,

Usually when there are problems with a page in Firefox, it's the code in the page that's wrong.

I checked out the code on the fatvideos homepage and fixed a few bugs in it and it looks okay on my Firefox now.

Firefox is a great little browser as long as the code hasn't got errors in. Chuck in a few missed tags or wrong borders and it breaks really bad. Internet Explorer doesn't choke so bad on code errors but is actually far more buggy - and each version has different bugs. Total pain in the ass!

The reason why the fatvideos page spread out so bad is that the border on the first image was set to border="#007169". Explorer ignores this as it doesn't understand the '#'. Firefox sees the number and gives the image a border of 7196 pixels. Setting this to border="0" puts it where it should be but you need to check out the other tags.

If you're still stuck then send me a message and I'll bung you the corrected code.

Al.

Looks pretty good on Firefox but the border on the iframes is messing with the layout.

Find the bit in the code on each page where the code says:

body {
background-color: #000000;
}

Now, straight after the bit above and before the end 'style' tag, add the line:

iframe {border:0px}

...and that will fix it in firefox biggrin.gif

Other than that it looks pretty good in everything from IE5 to Firefox. There are a few errors in the code but they seem to be stuff the cutenews package has put in there rather than the stuff you've done with fireworks/dreamweaver (if that's what you're using).

I suppose you ought to have a document type line on each page before the first 'html' tag - but it seems to work fine without. I'd probably read up a bit on CSS to replace the 'font' tags in the code but that's about it.

Once you set zero borders on iframes I don't think you'll need the "May look crappy in Firefox".

Cheers,

Al
