IE 7.0 Problems

W

web

Hi.. I just found this group, so I hope someone here can help me.

I'm having problems with my html code.. It look like my index file has
an iframe when I open it in the new IE 7.0. That suck, because it is
just my index.html file and my home.html file that looks that way.

If I open my website in Opera or Firefox I don't get this... What is
wrong with my conding?
One other thing I can't figure out is how to import javascripts in a
validating way...(the code work but is not valid xhtml)
I use strict xhtml.. and I get this fault from the w3c validator:

Error Line 20 column 17: there is no attribute "language".
<script language="JavaScript">

My website is: http://mastaar.com..


these pages looks wrong in IE7.0:
* http://www,mastaar.com/index.html
* http://www,mastaar.com/home.html

If you compare it with IE 7.0 against Opera/firefox you will see what I
mean about the
scrollbars..

I know my website does not show correct in IE 6.0 also - but there is
so much that don't work there so I just put a javascript popup to
explain that to my visiters..

I hope somebody know why this happen and can help me, cos I am stuck..
I welcome all help I can get.

Thanks in advanse.

I'm having problems with my html code..

This is wrong:
<link href="files/if_ie_below_70.js" type="text/javascript" />

This is correct:
<script type="text/javascript" href="files/if_ie_below_70.js"></script>

It look like my index file has
an iframe when I open it in the new IE 7.0. That suck, because it is
just my index.html file and my home.html file that looks that way.

Do not put carriage return in the url of the doctype declaration.

Do not do:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/
xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Instead do:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Also,

Do not do:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello mastaar!">

but instead

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello%20mastaar!">

or even better: don't pre-write the subject line.

Why lang="nb" ?

Why not lang="en" ?

If you compare it with IE 7.0 against Opera/firefox you will see what I

I know my website does not show correct in IE 6.0 also - but there is
so much that don't work there so I just put a javascript popup

I do not recommend to use a popup for this.

to
explain that to my visiters..

Well, then I recommend you do this in a much better way.
First you should try to fix as many problems you see with MSIE 6 that
you can. If your design is simple, you may even not have to make any
kind of notice.

Then you can write a disclaimer (or a link to a conformance notice) at
the bottom of the page which would be saying something like "This
webpage complies with known and established W3C web standards. If you
are using MSIE 6, then the webpage(s) may not render as intended. You
are invited to use Firefox 2.0 or Opera 9.1" or any kind of speech you
would like to tell them. You could use conditional comment to do this
for optimal impact.

Thansks a lot! This helped me alot.

Some answers:
Why lang="nb" ?
Why not lang="en" ?
Click to expand...

This I just overlooked.. I copyed the code from one of my
html-test-pages - which is in norwegian language.. This is now fixed.

Yeah, I agree with you that it is better to let the visiters write his
own subject, so fixed that one as well. But jeah I see what was wrote
wrong now when you tell me.

About the popup. I found a wat that might just work: But until I get
the website to look ok in MS60 also, I'll just stick to the popup..

<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="source for file"
media="all">
<![endif]-->

A problem with this could be that this css now will load both in IE
below 70 and the new 70 version..

Do you know how to fix this? I know it is a bad thing to use javascript
becase the browsers just might stop the popup with a pop-up-blocker..
and many people just don't notice the popup (click ok withouth reading
any of the text in the pop-up-box) or just don't want to open it.. Some
people also might have javascript turned off..

So I use this script only as a temporary solution until I figure out
how to get a working css for both browsers..


Now.. This problem with the scrollbars in IE70, do you or anybody else
know wht they show om my index.html page and the home.html page?..
This is still a mystery to me.. They don't show on my other pages and
they don't show in IE.60 or below or in Opera or Firefox..

One other thing I just wondered..

How can I code a link that shows in in a new window..
This is kind of strange cos when I validate my links.html page I get
only one error.. I have used target a bunch of times.. I'v heared that
target is the wrong way of doing it in strict but don't know how else
to do this..

Error Line 46 column 51: there is no attribute "target".
....ef="http://www.mandolux.com/" target="_blank">Mandolux:
Wallpaper-art</a></..

Many thanks again,
Tor Andreassen

I suspect that there is a better way to fix this, I am just not willing to
rewrite it.

Start over would be a good ideal. With that being said, a temporary
fix for the situation would be:

<!--[if gte IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
body > div { overflow:visible; }
</style>
<![endif]-->
