Hi, i recently paid for some php and mysql coding/css/html/etc for my online gaming team....

the website link is: Dishonor Elite
well the person i hired finished the site and now i cant get in touch with him!

i fount out that my problem isnt php, and it comes down to the formatting of the coding and possible the css!

the problem is that on older browsers ex:IE6 and even my up-to-date firefox, the content of the site is overlapping my nav bar which is in php (header.php)

this problem occurs on every page except for my forums.

here is a link to a picture showing what i mean :


here is the code for my header.php, which i think the problem is located in, also gonna attatch my css:
Code:
<?define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './forum/';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_PROFILE);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management

}

also, some people say that the nav bar only shows a couple of my navigatioon menu "mouse-over" links.
here is a link to a picture showing what i mean :


i love my website, and most content in it ran off of my forum through custom coding. I just wish this problem wouldnt happen to alot of viewers because its such a pretty website, and it doing that is such an eye sore!

Your menu is definitely screwed up in IE 6, but looks fine in Firefox, although in FF it's operation isn't smooth and a little jumpy.

The problem in IE is what we call "float drop" and it happens when the sum of all the 'boxes' inside a container are too wide to fit in that container, so it "drops" the content down to where it does have room.

Yes, but I'll have to download your page and dig into the code to find the solution. I was just too tired last night to do that.

Ok, I think I've got it solved.

There were a few things not quite right in the html (incorrectly nested lists), I corrected those.

Your friend did a great job on the design -- for standards-compliant browsers. Unfortunately, IE doesn't fall into that category and it seems he didn't account for that.

Rather than posting the code in this reply, I'm attaching the files themselves. You can either go thru them and make the same changes I did, or just replace your existing ones with these. PLEASE, make a backup of your originals first. Even though they aren't quite right for IE users, you should hang onto his original files until you're 100% satisfied that the changes I made are working for you. Make sense ?? I can't test for every browser and screen resolution, so be safe and backup the originals. If these files don't work right, PM me and let me know what's haywire.
