not valid xhtml
March 27th, 2007
A few people were kind enough to offer some advice as to why I have display problems with Internet Explorer as mentioned yesterday.
Jennifer Farley said, “It happens to me when I place an image that is wider than the main column in the post.”
Im not entirely sure if this happens for me, but I always make sure my images are less than the width of the main column (about 470px).
nerd tells me “fixed width is bad” – I barely know what that is. I think is it something about how the width moves according to different resolutions?
The most interesting is that the tags could be causing the problems, according to McAWilliams. In his comment he included a link to the results of my blog after hit had been put through the W3.org XHTML Validator.
I’m not sure how valid this validator is though:
http://fustar.org – Failed validation, 28 errors
http://mulley.net – Failed validation, 33 errors
http://www.mneylon.com/blog – Failed validation, 35 errors

In response, the blog started out with a wordpress theme, which I have altered, but not much as any more just goes way over my head and I end up screwing it all up. I also write most of my entries using the Rich Text Editor. Could it be the Rich Text Editor?
