Default links displaying correctly live, not locally (preview) - 01-05-2006 , 04:29 AM






I've waited to ask this question until I'd moved my site on advice from this
NG Geocities to my "real host". Everything seems just as I want it now that
I've uploaded it. *but* I on preview when a link to a page is clicked, the
page is displayed without its accompanying css and js files, just a page of
lists. Could somebody please advise? I dare not start filling the pages
until I've sorted this out!
Jo

It works ok here in terms of the css being found on a Mac. What browser
are you refering to?

I have some bad news though. Your code is not working correctly in
either Safari or IE5 on the Mac. ie elements are not in their correct place.

In Safari the drop menus appear in the top left corner of the page and
in IE5x the navigation is not all in one line.

In your code I don't see a closing </div> tag for this container.

<div id="content">


The reason why the drop-menus are probably no postioned correctly in
safari is the javascript you are using to control them. Where did this
menu system come form?

I used the suckerfish menu almost wholesale (css and javascript) as I kind
of learnt as I adapted. I thought they wouldn't mind as it's a journal web
rather than professional. I'll have a look at that missing tag before I do
anything else. Thanks

Sorry for the stupid question... do I simply use </div> to end it where
necessary? I've tried this, no change.

Hummm well suckerfish doesnt work cross-browser.

I would go to http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/index.htm

and work through 'simple' and 'positioned' pop-up menus.

Yes. I dont know where the 'content' ends, you should however. At that
point you would need to close the container with </div>

I have to say that your content is hard to read with that background image.
And the page is a bit hefty -

Resizing the text makes a bit of a mess as well....

Finally, try validating the page, and fixing those errors before working any
more on troubleshooting....
