gurus and alike, positioning problem

[qwik3r]

http://www.verricoassociates.com/j2 in FF the menu at the top is centered and in line with the search box in ie 6 its up alot farther.

Maybe I am not doing something right and forgive my CSS file its not a final one so it may have a ton of crap I don't know, and forget validation its not a problem with that, even though it may not validate right now.


So....any suggestions on how to get the menu and the search box inline cross browser better?

I was just about to use a star hack to put a top margin on the

* html #mainlevelmainnav,#mainlevelmainnav ul{
margin-top: 10px;
}

but it seems dirty, i am probably doing something wrong to begin with. Thanks in advance.

You have this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>at the top of your page, which is throwing IE into quirks mode - get rid of it. There should not be anything before the doctype.

i'm still getting a ton of validation errors, I am using Joomla as a CMS and they put all that crap in there, I don't normally want to mess with it. I removed it but still have 14 errors that I don't know how to fix

managed to get rid of all the pesky errors and solve the problem, but not because of fixing the validation, thanks.

please delete thread.

Fixing the errors will fix the validation so you're good. Only 1 code problem:
line 92 column 1520 - Warning: trimming empty <span>

This is from HTML Tidy. w3c.org's validator likes your page as it passed.

Also, CSS has a few errors (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.verricoassociates.com%2Fj2%2F). Lot fewer then you thought I bet.

Page is looking good so far.

yeah i didn't validate the css yet as I know the css file has been used on multiple pages and has a ton of extraneous stuff that I didn't use but have to get rid of.

Going to look into HTML Tidy, however I don't know why its complaining about the span, it looks fine to me.

The problem is here:

...challenges.<span style=""> </span>Our Associates...

I don't know where you see that because I don't see it on my end or with view source, perhaps u can paste a portion of the code that contains it. The CMS I use sometimes inputs (well not sometimes, basically ALL the time) crap that I don't need.

I copied the text before and after the invalid part which is just an empty span. You should have been able to find it by using Ctrl+F to bring Find window up in editor and insert anypart or all of the posted info. Here's more:

<span style="font-size: 15px; color: black;">Verrico Associates</span></strong><span style="font-size: 15px; color: gray;"> has experience exactly where our clients have challenges.<span style=""> </span>Our Associates are </span><strong style=""><span style="font-size: 15px; color: rgb(143, 180, 143);">specialists</span></strong><span style="font-size: 15px; color: gray;">, not generalists, and can clearly develop collaborative solutions at all levels of an organization.</span>

If your editor lists code with line numbers, its line 106. The <span> tags are empty. A minor thing.

HTHs,
