    having problems with chrome, ie, and my site.

    My site works with every browser except chrome and ie.. It worked with both for a while, but now everything is off. What should I do? I know if I adjust it for those two, it will be off everywhere else. *sigh*

    Start by correcting any validation problems with the HTML. If it's the site in your signature that you are worrying about, it doesn't even have a proper <doctype>. There are also a number of errors in it that should be fixed. Fix the problems on every page and then see where you are. Best tool to help with that is the Firefox HTML Validator add-on.

    What you do next depends on what you mean by "off".

    I ran it through a validator before I asked for a review, and it didn't have any errors in the script. It's CSS3 and HTML5. I just don't know what to do.

    In chrome, it is off to right and a little down on two fof the images on the front page, at least in my browser. In ie, only one of the affiliate links are in the box.

    In the Firefox Validator there are around 50 errors reported. The first and most major one you have to fix is that you have to put in an appropriate doctype.

    The first one is done.

    This is the w3.org validator.
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ww...Inline&group=0
    The major errors are the ones with the affiliate links, and -for some reason- the closing ">" on a couple of the links. I have to tweak the css and add the border=0 on the css page, but that is working for now.

    Our web is of in every browser.
    There is one immediate problem, images are re sized in publishing program. Edit images to fit the IP div. Images are many times bigger. Second problem is with the IP divs. They have absolute position and over lap the text. COmbine over size image with IP div and you have disaster.
    I had just a brief look. There is more for sure.

    I don't know if this replies properly to your statement, but I use an optimizer and then re-size it again to fit where I want it to go. I use notepad ++ and upload with filezilla.

    Second problem is with the IP divs. They have absolute position and over lap the text.
    Have tried relative positioning and had worse results. I am just going to have to play with it and pray.

    I wish I had the money to have someone else to this. I had to type all the code myself, and this is the only experience I have had with CSS. What is an IP div?

    You have still errors with the W3C validator. Even a nesting error with the following result:
    Cannot recover after last error. Any further errors will be ignored.
    .
    For me the page doesn't work fine in FF too. When I reduce the window size the content remains with the same distance to the left instead of moving to the left. It seems that you are centering related to the maximal window size instead of the real window size.

    Huh? I am still new to this. I was following someone else's advice for the window size.

    okay. Here is the new one.
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0
    Do I just need to erase the affiliates and figure out another way to link to them? How do I fix the youtube problem?

    I am just talking about the front page. I am still working on moving the images. How do I fix those without screwing them up else where? How do I set the page width? I know. I am being a pest.
