I did a validation of my XHTML and the validation kept throwing up errors on the following HTML code. What is wrong in this code?

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2">document.write(' <select name="to_lang" onchange="lp=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; if(lp!=\'\') window.location=\'http://www.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&u=http://www.notjustcricket.com&langpair=\'+lp;" style="font:11px arial;width:110px" align="center"><option value=\'\'>Select language</option>

Find out what the id for the buttons are and look for something in the style sheets with the same name. That's a good place to start...

input {width: 150px;margin: 5px 0 0 0;padding: 0;color: #4d5a57;text-align: left;border: 1px solid #ccc;background: #fdfdf2;font-family: "Trebuchet MS";}

Thank you for your response, in any case, S@m

My blog at: Not Just Cricket.Following is my CSS template code. It is somehow forcing the buttons (like the Preview and Submit buttons, here on this board) to show as rectangular plain text boxes.What would I need to change to stop the CSS template code forcing the styling and let the buttons show as they should show.

The template CSS code was forcing the rendering of the text box. I have fiddled around with it a tad and have got the text box to show, as well as the search 'button-box'.I'll create another thread to ask how to allow the 'button' and not have the template CSS code to force it's on styling.Thanks for you help.

First, check for any overlapping or omitted tags in the HTML code or the CSS Stylesheet, if you have access to them. It could also be the configuration of the template, but I doubt that that is the problem in this situation.

My blog at: Not Just CricketButtons do not show in the side bar.Eg: The search button in the 'Search Box' on the left.I have been trying to put Google Adsense Search box and also Feedburner Subscription email box. The text box do not show the border - so its just an empty space that shows and the button does not show.How can I fix this?

Looks like Rupen's heads up on Jan 9, 2007 resulted in that URL showing a '500 Internal Error' on Jan 12, 2007.The imitators and wannabes were shut down pretty quick, huh?!!!

I just noticed this.All the styles and customisations render as they should do in Firefox 2.0.When I switch to Internet Explorer, the right sidebar (#gamma) drops below the central content column (#beta).1. Why does this happen in IE and not in Firefox?2. How do I correct it?My Blog: Not Just Cricket

I was finally able to change my layout from 2-column to 3-column. But now the column widths are all up in the air and the background is out of sync.How do I correct this?My blog is at: Not Just CricketThe CSS code is: As follows in the CodeBoxI would like to have the left and right sidebar widths at around 170.The left column's left edge without any margin.The right column's right edge without any margin.The space between the (right edge of the left sidebar) and the (left edge of the central content column) to be around 16.The space between the (left edge of the right sidebar) and the (right edge of the central content column) to be around 16.If it might make things easier, I dont mind (for now) if the background color is a single flat color- white. Once the columns and backgrounds are set, I will try and do the color change.Any help will be very much appreciated.

Moderators: I am posting this here. If this should be in any other forum, please feel free to move it. To MT3.2 Gurus!I am looking for someone who can help me implement some design changes to my MT3.2 blog.Design changes such as 3 column set up, widths of the columns, etc.Anyone out there able to help?I don't mind paying a nominal fee for the work done.Thank you.

It's probably that either the Youtube video or one of the images are making the left column too wide, and pushing the right column below it. Try increasing the size of the container.

I just noticed this error crop up.When I click a listing in the Catergories box in the sidebar, I am presented with this message:

Page Not Found Smarty error: [in mt:15 line 53]: syntax error: mismatched tag {/if}. expected {/MTEntries} (opened line 36). (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 2277)

the short answer is that the 2 columns need more width than the container is giving them. Remember padding and margin take up width not just the width you assign to the divs... reduce the width of one of the columns until it bumps back into place.Keep in mind I am saying this as mostly a guess since you did not show any CSS.

Something happened somewhere and now my Catergory, Individual, Date Based archive template shows just a one column instead of two column. The content of the sidebar (2nd - beta - column) follows the content of the 1st - alpha - column.Blog: Not Just Cricket: Technology ArchivesHere is the code for the 'alpha'. Can anyone help in identifying the code error. I've tried, but somehow just cannot find it.

I checked the CSS file. It is correct.Re-uploaded the CSS file with SmartFTP.Then cleared cache in my Firefox.Refreshed the page. No luck.The text still shows as Maroon instead of Blue. I was just looking at my blog on the main page. The text is still maroon.But when I click the Entry header and this takes me to the Individual Entry Archive, the Entry heading is, in fact, BLUE!!! What is stopping the text color from changing in my main page entry heading??

Yes, it is CSS. :)Just find the id/class of the container that's holding your comment element. Then add this to the css, if the class of the element were "container"..container { background-image: url("image url") no-repeat; }

How do I get my comments under an entry to be shown in a shaded box, creating separation and showing the comment number on the side?Similar to this:Shaded and numbered commentsHope some MT guru can help on this.I have a blog on MT3.2 platform.Thanks.

This is my code from my theme's CSS file. I've made a few changes in this code and all of the changes implement into my blog fine and dandy.Except the font/text color. I use TopStyle Lite for CSS changes and when I preview the code, the preview screen shows the font/text color as Dark Blue, but the web page still shows Maroon.Is something stopping this change implementing?

.entry-header{	margin: 5px 15px;	padding: 0px 0 0 17px;	background: url(entry-header-bg.gif) 0 0.35em no-repeat;	font-size: 22px;	font-weight: normal;	font-family: Pristina;	color: #00008B; <<<<<this is the code for dark blue, which doesn't seem to implement}

The background image is not transparent...just curious...what is the point of having a transparent background image?

Still doesn't work. Would it help if i posted the full css code here?

should be #e2e2e2 not just e2e2e2

You need to change your colors to hex format. So instead ofcolor: silver;you need:

body{	font-family: 'trebuchet ms', times, serif;	font-size: 11px;	background-color: e2e2e2;}

Also, try to keep everything lower case. silver instead of Silver (for example).
