Question

Internet explorer not displaying page properly!

Answer 1

+1 A:

He also viewed my site yesterday. And yesterday it worked perfectly for him, with the same browser. But the thing is, I haven't change any styles, or anything else on this particular page.

That seems strange! It works fine on Mozilla Firefox, Safari and Chrome on the Mac.

I assume that this code (in the body) is not part of the template?

<style> 
    div#commentForm
    {
        margin: 0px 20px 0px 20px;
        display: none;
    }
</style>

Doesn't look like it could cause the alignment to change though.

Yeah. Strange indeed! Thanks for your help!

That is correct :)

It shouldn't cause alignment change... But with IE, I guess you never really know :P

There is no value "0px" but only 0

Answer 2

+2 A:

1) Set 'text-align: center' to <body>
2) Limit #main width to your page width (1000px)
3) Set 'margin: 0 auto' and 'text-align: left' to #main

With this, your page should be centered in all browsers.

Māris Kiseļovs 2010-08-18 07:26:19

It does center the page on IE now BUT It also centers text on the right hand side column, which makes it look very bad.

need to add "text-align:left;" on that column

Answer 3

A:

Okay, I've still been having the same problem. So, after experimenting a little, here's what I figured out:

I recently read a tutorial on PHP. It said that when using $_REQUEST, I need to place the PHP <?php //... ?> code ABOVE everything on the PHP/HTML page, like this:

<?php // php code here .. ?> <html> ... page content here </html>

... As it turns out, having the PHP code above the standard HTML Declaration causes the page's content to align to the far-left of the page. Strange. And it only happens in Internet Explorer (AFAIK). It doesn't seem to happen in Flock, Chrome, Safari, or Opera.

Anyway, after placing the PHP code inside the <head> section, which I always thought was the right way, the page is now properly aligned, in every browser.

Thanks to all of you who tought me a few things about CSS that I didn't already know, and for helping me sort this out. Your help was much appreciated. :-)
