Default Can anyone spot whats broken on this site please? - 11-13-2004 , 05:10 AM






http://www.meadowsteiner.somerset.sch.uk/

This is the site for my son's school.. They asked me to do some edits on it.
The old one was a mess so I made a new template with the standard DMX2004 2
column CSS template, tweaked the pictures and made all new pages. What I
have found is that in MSIE the pages don't fully load - the bottom is cut
off. This resolves if you hit refresh. This does not happen with Firefox or
Opera

Any ideas as to what might be happening and how I could fix it, apart from
rebuild with tables

Thanks muchly

I can't find it specifically, but a couple of items:

- The left div is flexible. Under normal circumstances, that would be
admirable, but in this case, if I resize the viewport under somewhere
about 1045 wide, the steineredinlogo.jpg graphic starts overlapping the
border of the div.
- The section headed by <h3>Links</h3> has a gap above it. It may have
to do with this:

<div class="relatedLinks">
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

</div>

Looking at the page again in IE, I think that if you take care of those
two items, the problem in IE may resolve itself.

- Just for what it's worth, you're missing alt attributes on two images
- Get rid of those <font> tags!
- You have a number of empty containers (<div id="search"> </div>, <p>
&nbsp;</p>) You might want to clean those up.

The page looks fine to me in IE5x/Mac and IE6/PC. I see no truncation.

Thanks Joe
I removed the gaps and reapplied the template and had a look again. Now its
even more bizarre! Some of the pages load with a ghost scroll bar - hit
refresh and the scroll bar appears and you can scroll down the page. This
should be a real straightforward deal - using out of the box DW code - havnt
messed with it in any way. And its MSIE specific. Havnt checked it out on my
Mac yet.

Really? I did wonder if it was machine specific but have checked it on both
my PCs.
Try this page in particular:
