Layout Issue

Post by palmere »

Ok... so I think I'm going crazy. I think I've been looking at this for far too long and am overlooking something drastically simple. There are two issues going on with this, here's the background.

A very basic site wanted to have a weblog without having to pay for a database, so I set up a blogger.com account and put their design into the template of the site. Worked pretty slick; however, once the site is published (works fine when it's in template preview) there is either one of two issues, depending on the browser being used to view the file:

1) Firefox: There are some separations in the header file between the top graphics and the SWF menu file. I'm wondering if it has something do with a line height in the css or something in those lines. This error does *not* show up when I'm viewing the blog in the preview.

2) IE: The SWF times out! It's being loaded from an external source that doesn't have any issues with leech protection. The file simply won't load when IE tries to load it. No problem with Firefox.

Anyways, if anyone sees any simple fixes, let me know. I appreciate the help, my sanity counts on it!

Lata.

the differences in rendering between the preview and the actual published peice could be caused by different doctypes, or maybe some css styles cascading into your own.

regardless, we cant help much unless we see your code.


as for the swf not loading, maybe your html is bad and ie isnt able to work with it. try validating your html.
