I recently made a website for a friend.
http://www.TheQuotes.co.nr Now, here is the problem. It seems if you load it with FF the middle section background will not strech. But if you use IE it will. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it? Here is the code I have in the index file. CODE <head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>The Quotes</title> <style type="text/css"> a{ color: #ffffff; size:-1;} </style> </head> <body bgcolor="#910A99"> <center> <div style="height:449px; background-image:url(top.gif); width:664px; background-repeat:no-repeat"></div> <div style="background-image:url(middle.gif); width:664px; height:100px; background-repeat:repeat-y;"> <div align="left"> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p> <!--Insert your quotes after this hun. The following is an example of how one would look.--> <font color="#4B0082">Go to page: <a href="quotes.html">1</a> | <a href="quotes2.html">2</a> | <a href="quotes3.html">3</a> | <a href="quotes4.html">4</a> | <a href="quotes5.html">5</a> | <a href="quotes6.html">6</a></font> <br> <h2><font color="white">Page 1</font></h2> <br><hr> ALL OF THE QUOTES EDITED OUT <hr> </p> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </div> </div> <div style="height:265px; background-image:url(bottom.gif); width:664px; background-repeat:no-repeat"></div> </center> <div style="position:absolute; z-index:1; top:1px; left:1px;"><img src="logo.gif" /></div> </body> </html>
Reason for edit: bbcode for url

Can you post a live link please so we can have a look. Remember that we don't have the images, so if the page is uploaded someplace, post a link.
Also, which div is not stretching? and when you say not stretching, do you mean in width or height? Thanks. *edit* I guess we are to go to the site directly... posted in your opening post... Well, to begin with, add a Doctype Declaration so the two browsers are not in quirks mode. Lacking a Doc Type is a sure way to have one of them mis-interpret the html.  |

Take a look at what I mean. This post has been edited by Damen: Jul 18 2007, 02:28 AM |

I have DOCTYPE tags in the html file.
But I cut off the top of the text to size it down some. This is what I have. QUOTE <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Here is the error report from the Tidy Utility I have. Notice that the first line says the Doctype is missing.
QUOTE Result: 0 errors / 5 warnings line 1 column 1 - Warning: missing <!DOCTYPE> declaration line 12 column 1 - Warning: <script> inserting "type" attribute line 17 column 1 - Warning: <frameset> proprietary attribute "frameborder" line 17 column 1 - Warning: <frameset> proprietary attribute "border" line 17 column 1 - Warning: <frameset> proprietary attribute "framespacing" Info: Document content looks like HTML Proprietary Where is this page Hosted? Is it possible the Web Host is stripping out the Doctype so that they can place it into a Frameset? *edit* Indeed, the re-direction service you are using is stripping out the Doctype on you. When I do an html Tidy report, your page has 363 errors when measured against the Doctype you are using. Not good. Don't know what to tell you, except between the incorrect Doctype for the level of code you have, and the Frameset the Host is supplying, the page is not very cross-browser friendly. Tramposch, the css is embedded in the page. There is no CSS file. |

Well to start fresh.
Co.Nr was not the one doing it on me. I have uploaded it here also with no redirection. http://www.damen.trap17.com/quotes/quotes.html It still does the same thing. The CSS for this is embedded inside the file. Any other possible problems? Maybe run your checker again on the link above. |

Also,
I have made quite a few website, all more complicated than this simple one, and I have never had a problem between firefox and ie other than pngs. And that has been solved in IE 7.0. I am just stumped as to what the problem is here guys. ANYONE who thinks they might know why, please help. |
