Splitting my blog

[sb1234]

Why would IE6 split my blog right in half, yet on Mozilla it loads fine?

I know IE6 is terrible which is why I am using Mozilla in the first place.
Did I jack my code or is IE6 just the problem. After my last post.

LOL! Exactly why you should work in IE first :lol:

Peculiarities of (messed up) CSS. Tables would have been a million times easier!

I guess you modified the template a bit too much, didn't you?

I'm not being any help, I know.

:?

Obviously not! With the smiley's and all. So how come when I republish the post in IE6 the problem doesn't go away?

Well, what have you modified in the template? Undo some of the modifications and see at which point it will work again. Or has it never worked in IE from the beginning?

I have removed things, put stuff back in that I added to a template. I never once messed with the template. I think the pictures of my Porsche that I loaded from Picasa are too wide forcing a margin error. It sucks.... :evil:

That would do it.... You can resize the image in the post, can't you?

I 86'd the Google Search Bar and it fixed. What is the best way to reinstall the google search bar so it doesn't split again. Any ideas? Anyone?

Try to insert this code instead:



<center>
<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.com/search">
<input type=hidden name=ie value=UTF-8>
<input type=hidden name=oe value=UTF-8>
<center>
<A HREF="http://www.google.com/">http://www.google.com/logos/Logo_40wht.gif

</A>
<INPUT TYPE="text" name="q" size="19" maxlength="255" value="">


<INPUT type="submit" name="btnG" VALUE="Google Search">
</center>
</FORM>
</center>



This will make it small and compact . You can reduce it further if you play with the Google image width and height as well, as the text box size and button text. The font size that prevails on your page may influence the sizes also.

Yep... that did it. I got the google search bar back in there.
No problems in either Firefox or IE6.

Thanks

Oh, I see the logo is not all that nice since there's some white smudge on it. You may want to enclose it in a small table with a white background, unless you can find an equivalent totally clear logo on Google's site - or one on black background.

OK, you can replace the Google image with Logo_40blk.gif instead of Logo_40wht.gif, that may work better for you.

All better now....
