The Praetorian Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Okay, I built a dictionary page ( http://www.tsrealms.com/dic.php ), but for some reason that I can't fathom, when viewed in IE all the paragraphs show up as headings...Is IE ignoring my </h3> code? Or did I miss something?Any help will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_illusions Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 thats a very nice looking site.but you have no doctypethis should be the basic head of every page <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html><head><title>Untitled Document</title><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"></head> and why dont you add <style type="text/css">p.blocktext{margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;width:12cm;}hr{margin-right:auto;margin-left:auto;width:12cm;}</style> into your stylesheet?and theres no link to 'dic.php' in the main menu...???

The Praetorian Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Thank you for the compliment.The link for dic.php is in a sub-menu. (Compendium->Dictionary) I can't add the css you just mentioned to my style sheet, otherwise it would effect all the pages. That css code is supposed to be specific to that page.When adding the doctype declaration, what would I put for a page that's php and not html? And by the way, what does a Doctype declaration even do? From what I can tell, it obviously doesn't change how my page appears in any way, so why do I need it?And, I'm sorry if this seems rude, I don't mean it to be... but neither of those things solved my problem...EDIT: Gah. Turns out I had a typo in some random part of my code. Closed a heading tag with </a> instead of </h3>. *Kisses the xhtml validator* Anyway, sorry for the fuss.
