Default CSS- I hate Internet Explorer

v4.1.10 Developer

My Site

Hi,

I spent some time yesterday moving and changing things around on my site. The mistake I made was not checking I.E. until I finished. My tabs and search bar is off and I need some help.

Thanks!

I don't use Internet Explorer, however I can say, that you didn't do it wrong as any professional Web designer will tell you... Design your site to the standards, then test it in IE and make any adjustments specific to IE.

I will wholeheartedly agree with you as I hate IE as well!

In looking at your site in Safari (on a Mac), the Search is offset way to the right, was that your intention? That doesn't look right to me.

One thing I will tell you right off the bat that is going to cause you erratic behavior in ALL browsers is the simple fact that you do NOT have a DOCTYPE declaration. That means that you are not telling the browser what standards it is supposed to use. If you don't tell the browser what standard code you are using it throws the browser into QUIRKS MODE!!! This a BAD, BAD, BAD thing. Quirks mode make the browser STUPID and act like a version 4.0 browser or worse.

In addition, you have your google site verification code above the <head> element which means that it will be completely ignored

Bottom line, you don't have the following items which is going to screw up any browser.

No DOCTYPE whatsoever.
You don't even declare <HTML>
You have your <meta name> google verification code above the head element instead of inside of it where it belongs.

Get that straightened out first, before you even try to start making tweaks for any particular browser.

That did it! Thank you so so so much! I was losing sleep over this last night!

Thanks for catching that Mike, I really appreciate it.

And Yes, The search bar is intended to be towards the right.
