I recently fixed up my site after discovering the cause of some IE incompatibility. I had all my pages saved as xhtml which some versions of IE don't agree with. (being a complete noob to CSS, I thought xhtml was the standard way to save it. Embarrassed )

Now...my samples page has gone very strange, only a few bits of the page appear on a browser (FF & IE). At first I thought it was a javascript problem as my contacts page was doing the same thing, and after removing the js based google maps from the contacts page, it was back to normal.

I have now cleaned up all the redundant html code on the pages (which i was too lazy to do just after I changed to CSS), but no luck.

Then I decided since i wanted to change my layout anyway, this was god time to do it. So I first got the exact CSS layout I wanted and then copied just the bits I needed into that. Still same problem.

THe layout should follow this style:
http://lcmsmedia.com/
Here is working xhtml page:
http://lcmsmedia.com/samples.xhtml
BUT...this is what it looks like as soon as I save it as an html page:
http://lcmsmedia.com/samples.html

I been tinkering with this for the last 2 weeks and cannot come up with a fix. It just makes no sense to me. There is nothing on the page which should make any difference if its xhtml or html.

I have already tried changing the
" language="javascript" type="application/javascript">
which the validator saw as a problem, to:
<script>
But...again, it changed nothing.

Does anybody have any idea why this would happen?

p.s. The media player is the pixelout player.

I've got no clue but I'm sort of in the same boat - I'm trying to rebuild a horridly built website and it just keeps exploding. I'm trying to convince the client to just let me start over (I'm not doing it for pay. I'm bartering - I'll fix and update the website in order for my girls to have free gymnastics). Good luck!

Bartering, thats a good idea. I wish I could find a web design company who needs some sonic branding or sound design done..

Hey:
the HTML version doesnt have the DIV tags, and I dont see anything else that "places" the elements anywhere but to the left.

You don't say what you're using to edit with, but I think you should be using something like Dreamweaver, or even GoLive. Let me know if you need professional help (web design, I mean) I know a couple of people who could do it in an hour or two

Oh..is that it. I thought all my divs were in place because this is same code that was on page when it was html before.

I'm using Dreamweaver now. I was using NVU for mos part, but just switched.

Thanks, but I've just blown budget on new toys. If I can't get it sorted out, I'll give in and take it to the pros.
