New skin problem

Archive: 33 posts

Ok... This may be really short, but i thought I might tell you guys something.

The problem is that, sometimes, the header (the cool images on top of the page) goes down by +/- 300 pixels...

For example, when i click on "statistics" in my profile, the whole pages slides down a bit leaving a gap between the header and the very tope of the page.

Now i know this style was made with firefox or something, but i thought i might tell...

That's it...		2009-02-15 07:40:00

hes using I.E. i'm looking at it now and it looks really bad...it wasnt like that before though. so i'll have a look see through the code see if there is something in there that makes I.E. act weird

[EDIT1:]it's weird because it goes up and down when you click through the profile links (about me, stats, etc.)
i'll mess with it and see if i can get it taken care of.
[EDIT2:]it not only drops the top, it shrinks the bottom, somewhere in the code its shrinking the table height. and when you go back and click visitor messages again it goes back to normal.
it's been a long day for me so i'm not figuring it out right now. i'll try again when i wake up tomorrow.		2009-02-15 08:09:00

I've noticed this for a long time, but I never really thought it mattered that much. I can still do verything else......2009-02-15 09:39:00

its something with the way the browsers handle the
<ul> and
<li> codes. theres no real fix for that unfortunetly. i'll plug through the code and see if i can change anything that'll make a difference

[EDIT:]i wish they'd make a standard for web browsers and stick with it lol		2009-02-15 14:51:00

I just started my internet programming class, and I have already run into something that works in one browser but not the other. So, I know what you mean.

Good Luck.		2009-02-15 17:30:00

yea its truly a PITA trying to get something to look the same in each browser.
especially when you're using vbulletin with its super crazy coding

here's the w3c markup validation results for this site LINK
(http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lbpcentral.com&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)thats just the VB code that it looks at...168 errors xO		2009-02-15 17:36:00

It's just errors that make the code non-XHTML 1.0 Transitional. Even if it was, IE would still encounter errors in some places. Those errors aren't all actual problems with the code, it's just pointing out pieces of the code that need to be executed in a different way. When writing code, there's usually many different ways to accomplish the same task, which is why it detects those "errors". They aren't legitimate usability problems, though.		2009-02-15 21:28:00

Actually, many of the errors are legitimate usability problems if you are using any alternate browsing system at all. It's really unfortunate that a lot of developers don't understand the benefits of following standards just because they themselves don't run into issues when they're not followed.2009-02-16 19:15:00

I just signed in using internet explorer and when i went to your page yarbone and started clicking on your tabs it still had to big black space at the top of the banner and ever other profile i went to it still did it, but right now i am using firefox and never seem to have a problem. Firefox is the only browser that i really like to use anyways but hope that helped answer your question on the progress part....2009-02-17 20:21:00

I only get the problems with IE 6 at work. I use Google Chrome at home and it works very well. Hope this helps someone. Its free and small and fast.		2009-02-18 03:36:00

Upgrade to IE 7 or IE 8 (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx). IE 6 is a flawed browser, and we don't support it.		2009-03-21 21:58:00

It's definitely in your best interest. We try to smash all the bugs we can, but this particular issue isn't a priority when compared to other things we're working on.		2009-03-22 00:00:00
