jessmolchan Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hi Everyone, I've been told that my website looks weird in IE: http://www.disneymadesimple.comI don't own a windows computer, but I've seen that it like, repeats the header or something weird. I'm trying to figure out what the problem is and how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!~Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffman Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I would start by removing the malformed <a> tag from your <head>. <a> elements are not self-closing, and they can only go in the body. An open <a> element could actually cause a lot of damage, depending on how the browser interprets it.Then you might remove the many errors revealed by validating your page. A lot of them are the use of short tags (the ones that end with the / character), which are not permitted in HTML 4.More likely, it's a CSS issue, but there's no point looking at CSS while the HTML has problems.

jeffman Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Are we talking about the same <a> tag? I mean this one, which is still there: <!-- END h1 with airplane --><a name="top"/ ><!-- end of end of head --> And, yes, it's messed up in IE. header-full.jpg appears twice for some reason.
