Hi,

I have a website which looks fine in Firefox. However, when I visit it in Internet Explorer it looks AWFUL!

I am thinking it is something to do with the css padding. Would somebody mind please having a look at www.newmethod.co.uk and give me some suggestions on what to correct. Although I've been a designing for a few years now, I'm still relatively new to CSS and am getting rather annoyed sorting this out.

I really appreciate any help in advance.

The whitespace before the DTD will be "breaking" the doctype in IE, get rid of that first .

Here's an error in firefox:



Note the black vertical line I drew to illustrate where the input boxes should end? Check you css to fix this problem.

Hi Steve,

Thankyou, yes this is one of the errors which is really annoying me it is all down to the Google Analytics code which is identical to what I copied? It goes if I put it in the head but am thinking it isn't being called then unless i use onload= in the body. To be honest, I'd rather just stick it right before the </body> tag as it is at the moment but it won't work. Must be missing something somewhere....

it's nothing to do with GA code.

THIS unfinished, malformed code
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
try  
catch(err) </script>
is causing the errors.

Yes I am aware that is the code which shows up in view source, but the actual html does have this there:

Code:
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
try {
_uacct = "UA-945457-7";
urchinTracker();
} 
catch(err) {}
</script>
...and that has just been copied and pasted as we speak, in Firefox I don't think any errors arise?

Then you obviously have a problem with whatever is serving the pages. Because it's exactly the same on ALL pages in ALL browsers.

My mistake - that would be me not putting the javascript in {literal} tabs in the CMS!
