Hello:
Built a page in HE. It shows fine in the internal viewer and in IE8. In Firefox it is a bit screwed up. One of the text banners is out of place and the fonts appear to be just default fonts instead of Verdana.
Images are attached and the url is www.logicresources.com/netmd/netmd.html

Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Raj

Built a page in HE

Raj, the code looks like Visual Editor (VSD) code, but the HTML Editor is named as generator.

How exactly did you create the site? Are you bringing VSD pages into the HTML Editor? If so, that might be what's causing the wonky pages.

Whatever you use, I would suggest you update your browsers (IE9, FF11 and any others you use).
Also, make sure you've got the latest versions of the Editor and VSD.

As for the code, I would pick either the Editor or VSD and not mix them, but maybe someone else has some idea how to make this work :)

Raj,

First off, the image shows in both IE and FireFox. I would suggest you clear your cache to see it correctly.

Secondly, your problem is this img here.

<img height="20px" width="220px" alt="" src="images/TitleBar_0.jpg">

If you do not want this image to show on your site, simply do a search in your HTML for this image name, and remove it. :D

Hope this helps.

Try changing your doc type.

Tanks for the suggestions

Paintbrush:
Yes I started in VSD and plunked in the buttons, the scroller on the top of the screen and the big graphic. Then I took the code and added the rest with HE. I was thinking I could cheat a bit and get the main stuff in there to start and add the other stuff in HE. I will look into this further.

My first effort was pure HE and I made it with tables. The problem with that was the top right scroll box wouldn't stay within its cell. It was 3 times as wide and went out to the right side of the page. The scroll box was smaller than the cell. Basically the same as the box on the bottom right. I just got tired of fooling around with it and thought I would try something else.

I use FF11 as my main browser. I haven't updated to IE9 yet. The gov. here is still using IE8 so that is my reason for staying with it. I have IE9 on other computers and they look fine also.

SirAge:
I did clean the cache a few times. It didn't do anything. I do want the image to show. It should be above the text area on the bottom right.

Rolly:
I will change the doc type and see what happens.

Thanks again everyone for your suggestions.

Raj

If your going to include a VSD page in the HTML editor the easiest way is to use an Iframe and keep the code out of the HTML editor. That way you can make your changes in VSD then publish and the results will be instantaneous on your HTML editor page.;)

Rolly:
I wasn't aware of being able to do that. Majority of my pages in this project will be tables based input fields. I will have about 10 pages that are like this either nav or info so I thought I could get away with a little cheating. I am sorry to say VSD has spoiled me.... No I am not that sorry.

Thanks Rolly

I re-did it using tables and seems to be ok now. I still had to use some div.objects to get text placed on top of an image in the bottom right box. Is this acceptable or am I setting myself up for failure?

What I wanted to do was have something like a text area but one that isn't for user input. Just to display system status messages. And in different font sizes and colours as well.

It all depends on what your trying to accomplish and how you want to accomplish it. As long as the site looks and does what you want then who's to say you can't do that.:)
Standards were made to be broken. Otherwise how would we ever come up with new ones.:lol:
