page display errors

[Guest]

Hi Folks

This page: http://www.neonegypt.com/music&poetry.htm used to be display-controlled by a css, but no longer is. There is some leftover error in the positioning code for the page elements however, that causes the page to SOMETIMES display incorrectly in IE 6.0, with some page elements overlapping. This depends apparently upon the individual browser settings

Other than reconstructing the entire page, can anyone suggest what to change to make it display properly consistently

Thanks

Steve

Dunno about the CSS but you should take the "&" sign "%26" out of the page file name.

Try getting rid of the ampersand (the %26 in your URL). Also, the linked in
file named (music&poetry_files/filelist.xml) may be causing the problem
as & is not a valid resource locator in a URL. It could be that certain
browsers can't find this file and just screw things up. Best thing when
naming files and directories is to avoid everything that isn't a letter,
number, or an underscore. No spaces and no non-alphanumeric characters as
they are illegal and the browsers may run into trouble when trying to
correct the problem.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Guys

I suspected something might be wrong with that "&", but never quite got around to fixing it. I'll give that a try

Plus only IE supports Word/Shape art (plus the absolute positioning of it is not supported by many browsers)
- if you must use it also select the option to create downlevel images in
Tools Page Options Compatibility/Authoring
