I’m building a site with Drimia and it looks great in Firefox, but is completely broken in IE7. Can anyone help? The site can be seen on:
http://72.249.166.156/~abfabtan/
Many thanks

Well I’m not sure if this will fix it but there is an error in your template.css at line 150…

a img {
border: none;
}
.img_caption.right p{ clear: right;

text-align: center; font-size:66%; color:#666666;}

{

clear: right;

text-align: center;

}

td, div {
font-size: 100%;
}

address {
background: url(../images/contact.png) no-repeat bottom right;
font-style: normal;
}

/* FORM
--------------------------------------------------------- */
There is no class or tag defined before the red bracket. This could be screwing Microsoft up just enough to mess up the whole page. Better browsers like Firefox will try to ignore this error.

Hi Scotty
Thanks a lot for taking a look. I’ve fixed the css error but sadly it hasn’t fixed my IE problem. It was worth a try though, so thanks for your help. Any other ideas?

<h1 class=”strap”>Ab Fab Tanning Salons in London & the South East<h1>
<h1 class=”top”>Reputable and professional since 1996</h1>Notice anything wrong with this code? I bet that’s the problem. Fix it and your site will be fine.

This one had me really stumped. I spent about an hour trying to solve it. In the end… it’s always the simplest little thing.

Hi Scotty
You really are a star! And I’m so embarrassed that such a dumb mistake caused so much of a mess and I couldn’t spot it. A fresh pair of eyes is such a great thing!

Thank you for your time and trouble. I really do appreciate it.

No problem but wouldn’t it be so easy for IE to auto close a H1 tag when another one is opened like Firefox does. It really is a piece of crap.

It sure is! That’s the reason why I don’t use it anymore. But this was a good reminder to check a site in it when building, then I might have spotted the error earlier when it would have been easier to find. That’ll teach me!
