Question Site Display Internet Expl. vs. Firefox - Still Problem after clean up. Help!

Hi all,

I posted a few days back about my problem with the site display in Internet Explorer vs. Mozilla Firefox, and I got a lot of great advice.
Now what I have done is really cleaned up my code - could anybody with an idea please have a look at it now - , and that fixed the original problem just nicely. I made sure that I did the coding pretty much the same on every page of my website.
Now the problem is that all the sites are displaying great now on IE, just ONE (Palm Tree Decor) is playing up BIG TIME, even though there is NO special/different HTML in there than in the other pages!!! I just don't understand where the problem now lies, it is REALLY going out into the blue, not just a little, but the whole page and it looks awful!!
How can that be if the code is pretty much the same as in the other pages, there are NO special commands or tags or anything.
I am desperate!
Can somebody have a look at the code and maybe we can find something that is NOT right....

Thanks for all your help, guys!

Here is the link again: http://ww.mybeachdecor.com then look at the "Palm Tree Decor" page.

Petra

Hi Petra,
Your tables are wider than your div! Try using Firefox with develoment tools to view the site - go to information then click on display block size. If havent got this its a free download google it!
Ive found it very useful I check my site all the time in IE6&7 and Mozilla Firefox and Opera for the small screen display

good luck
Rod

Hi Rod,
I have done that, but what do I then actually do to fix the problem? And how come it worked the way I've done it in all my other web pages, just not in one? Do you have a tip on what to change in my HTML code to make it right?
Thanks for your input. It is really appreciated.

Cheers,
Petra

Hi Petra,
been having a quick look I just had a similar problem the other way around on one page in my site I ended up just deleting a part of the content! This displayed Ok on IE but not on Firefox where the text just ran all over the pics - so I deleted the text and put it somewhere else - I dont like doing this as that means we are being controlled by browser defaults and not what w want to psiplay but needs must!

One thing I did notice was that the H1 heading is longer than all the other pages - try shotening this and see what happens. You really need to get risd of the presentational info inyou html code and put into the sytle sheet this will make things easier to diagnose.

I took over my site from paid designers and maintainers and spent a year altering everything!

As the other pages work you just need to sit down with some coffee and compare the coding of a page that works and one that doesnt in a quiet environment with no distractions, its usually something simple like a comma left out or similar! Validating the html may show up something you can compare a validation with a page that works with the one that doesnt..

Hi Petra
Ive downloaded the css and html files for these pages and shortening the h1 heading on the palm page fixes the problem. Remove the word "perfected" and then the page works in IE as well as Mozilla/Firefox.
