HTML web page help

Doing my corsework, need to design a page about myself as part of it, and need some help.

Constructed my page's basic structure, and it works in firefox, but completely messes up in I.E.
This is the page I am on about.
The frame completely messes up in I.E, but works on the index page here, and they both use the same structure.

Any help in getting it to look proper in I.E would be much appreciated (and any other hints on what to do).

Completely?

Any reason?

Because that's the reason why IE screws up the layout. Oh and btw, sort out the access on your website

Care to expand maybe?

I have no idea how to transfer the tables into divs with css.

Just want to keep the border really and the top and bottom images, any help?

thepeganator · 11 May 2009 at 23:35

Tables aren't neccesarry, I may as wel take them out, I wasn't planning to leave them visible anyway.

What would be the best way to keep the border images?

thepeganator · 11 May 2009 at 23:59

The images around the side, and the top and bottom images.

Thank you!

Have changed a few bits around, sizes and whatnot, will carry on later/tomorrow.

thepeganator · 12 May 2009 at 15:35

Well I have updated various things, thank for the div help.

Any help on how to get the button which pops up and shows the specs to look the right size?

thepeganator · 12 May 2009 at 16:54

I was trying to get the button inline and the same size as the text, is there anyway to do that?

And how do you get an imagemap to validate as xhtml strict?

thepeganator · 12 May 2009 at 17:54

This is the page that wont validate.

Error is:

Line 33, Column 25: document type does not allow element "map" here; missing one of "p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "div", "pre", "address", "fieldset", "ins", "del" start-tag <map name="mat" id="mat"> ✉
The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>")

Part of the specification is to have an animated gif in there at some point :/
Any other suggestions to get one in there is much appreciated.

And yes I am, the lecturer is pretty cool and I'm following the specifications, it's a page about me.

Sorted the divs out.

thepeganator · 12 May 2009 at 22:47

Updated a lot, any help welcomed.

thepeganator · 12 May 2009 at 23:08

I know how to make an animated gif

No idea why, I've done more outside the course, but want to follow what they said to the letter (adding more of course).
