Hi fellow coffeecup users. I have a webpage that works fine on home computers but it is stuck and won't scroll for those using droid or kindle devices. I thought the problem may have been that I had two style sheets so I removed one and tested but that did not fix the problem. Any idea how I can fix it? Here is a link to my page. Would appreciate any help as this error is causing me to lose many potential customers.

Not sure, but when I ran that page through the W3c validator, it showed 208 errors in the html. You could start by getting rid of those.

Could this be a problem? – 2 container IDs:
The scroll bar starts at the top of the second one rather than for the whole page.
<div id="container">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<div id="container">
<div id="header">

Thanks Paintbrush.. I thought I and removed all the duplicates. I'll go back and look again. As to errors, I have never been able to find a program that would reliably show me the errors but I will have a look at that as well. Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to tidy up your markup, and I found that place that Paintbrush mentions. That brought it down to 199 errors

Right now I'm only working on the page referenced and I removed the extra container id's and it did not fix it. Ipad users are ok.. it is only with android and Kindle where I have the problem - as far as I know anyway.

Well some of the errors don't make sense to me. For instance I get an error for using H3 to set the size having something to do with parent/child. All I want is to have the font a certain size so I used H3.

I see a h3 header, but it is not closed, and the next thing is that you have a h5 header. Check the paragraph starting with 'Samson is a wonderful gelding!'

Also, since you are using xhtml you need to write ALL markup in lowercase. You'll get rid of loads of errors there.
