Linking in the forums: I agree that links to websites when discussing "problem" issues can be a headache.
I recommend that when you post about your site on ANY forum that you break a link...replace the TT with asterisks or other characters. h**p://www.onyxxpressions.com/index.html This method allows the users of the forum to be able to grab an address but not have search engines link to your site from the discussion. This technique is tried and true for years.
What was your member name at GS forum? I will see if I can modify your previous posts to trim some of those links from future searches. Course if Google has cached those pages, we will not be able to clear those.
As to your IE and Firefox issue, there will ALWAYS be differences in the way the two browsers display your site unless you hand-code and manually tweak! The browsers render differently. Table border colors appear in IE not in FF, FF is more friendly for other things....
Centering issues in the border...
Just have a few minutes tonight.... Quick glance at your home page gave me these notes besides the fact that I LOVE
your purple background!!!
I saw that you have a javascript in the left border that creates a drop down menu for themes. How did you insert that item into your CSB page? Are you using CSB's INSERT HTML option? I did not see the normal CSB notations for inserted code for that first drop-down menu. That makes me wonder if you are changing your HTML page after CSB creates it? If so, you are going about this the hard way. And that might be part of the problem...maybe.
Using the HTML Insert option allows CSB to leave your code intact, but you can CENTER that inserted box after you have inserted it. If you don't like the size of the inserted html placeholder, you can change it (
check out this page) to fit the space better. In fact, sometimes you NEED to change it! STRANGE NOTE: If you use a LARGE placeholder image and it should be smaller to fit the space properly, the LARGE placeholder image can actually affect the placement of the code, or spacing in tables, etc.
Extra spaces and indents and floating returns get tangled in the codes and can make your results uneven.
CSB can help you FIND the spaces. Go to TOOLS, OPTIONS, Text and check the box to show hidden characters (spaces) and you will suddenly see dots where you have spaces. I keep this on at all times. Nice tool.
I would recommend that you highlight groups of items in the left border and do the following to each group:
(ex: from Galleries to project ideas)
- highlight a group
- make them all
left aligned.
- adjust your spaces, remove extras if needed
- manually press your ENTER key at the end of each line to force a hard return.
- make sure you do not have any indents set
(you can go into format paragraph and check settings in there too once you have cleaned/pruned anything that should not be there).
- highlight that section again and center it as a group.
This cleaning technique OFTEN resolves most issues.
By the way, I saw that
New Images has the S outside the link.
