Dreamweaver browser compatability

Tnig2000 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-07-2009, 02:14 PM

Here is my site that I created in Dreamweaver. Im almost done with the home page except for a few snags. One being that I have a slide show but my drop down menus drop down behind the slide show so you can't see them. Also some of the dropdown menus run on one line instead of stacking on each other. I put a line break after each one but it doesn't work on all browsers. Another thing, if i split the bottom table cell into to columns, one with the slide show the other with the text content. the whole thing slides over a little and is no longer lined up. These problems vary depending on the browser but I find the most trouble looking with internet explorer. How do i make it look consistent across browsers? Here is the site, any help is truly appreciated. This has been giving me headaches.

The Stables at LeBocage

and heres is the code:

<body>
<table width="962" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

This is for the menus that are displaying behind the movie...

Add this line of code to your flash movie object:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

I hope this helps...

so basically where you have this bunch of code:

<param name="flash_component" value="ImageViewer.swc">
<param name="movie" value="untitled.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">

Add the extra line I mentioned above right after it...

I noticed your home page has Untitled Document as the title of the page. You might want to give the title of your home page something more descriptive...something like "riding lessons, pony riding lessons [in your city]..."

This will help searchers and the search engines know what your site is about...
