Solve : IE doesn't read it!?

Answer»

Hello everyone! I'm having a small issue with my HTML. I have really just started coding, I might be going about this way wrong. But, I created a web page (viewing it in Mozilla) and towards the end thought I should check it out in some other browsers. When I OPENED it in IE nothing was right. It was like everything got tossed around.

Here is my HTML. I have takin a some personal info out.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">


        My Resume
                   href="MyResume.css"/>




CSS

ul#links {
   float: left;
   border: solid #b7e3e2 2px;
   margin: 1px;
   padding: 1px;
   height: 500px;
   width: 140px;
}

body {
   background-image: url(background.jpg);
}

ul#top {
   font-size:160%
}

ul#head {
   border-style: double;
   border-color: #b7e3e2 1.3px;
   border-right-width: 0;
   border-left-width: 0;
   border-top-width: 0;
   border-bottom-width: .6em;
}

table {
   border-style: solid #000000 3px;
}

p#tech {
   font-size: 150%;
}

p#motivation {
   font-size: .3%;
}

div#middle {
   border: solid #000000 0PX;
   margin: 0 90px 0 250px;
   height: 1100px;
}

ul#abc {
   border-style: double;
   border-color: #b7e3e2 1.3px;
   border-right-width: 0;
   border-left-width: 0;
   border-top-width: 0;
   border-bottom-width: .6em;
}

Any help as to why this is happining would be great. It's probably common to someone that knows this like the back of their hand. Thanks!This code is not posting correctly.  Please attach as a file or post within [code][/code] tags.
Sorry about that. I have attached a zip file. Thanks again!Um, how can I put this?  Your HTML is absolutely FULL of errors - like every other line.  And you have a few spelling mistakes and grammatical errors that you may wish to correct, given the nature of the content.

My advice is that until your plain text HTML skills are really polished, use a decent code editor (for syntax-highlighting cues) or a WYSIWYG editor, such as the free >NVu<.  This will make it much easier to produce cross-browser compatible code that >validates<.

In respect of your resumé, it will look more IMPRESSIVE if you produce specific examples of your achievements.  Well, I appreciate the honesty. I'll get BETTER. This is my first page so I didn't expect it to be perfect, or close to anything. A resume is all I could think of to try out. Is my code messed up or just the format that it's in? I went through a LITTLE course online, and i'm just wondering if they are completely wrong or if I'm just putting lines in the wrong place. Or both. Anyways, thanks for the input.There were a few different type of errors.  Some that I spotted:
  • unclosed tags: <ul class='whatever'  (missing '>')
  • mis-spelt tags: <il>  (should be '<li>')
  • un-matched tags: <table>  with no corresponding '</table>'
  • incomplete table definition: <table><tr> but no '<td>'
This is why I think a good HTML editor would make life easier for you - it would put those bits in automatically.  Then you're free to inspect the code, and learn as you go along.Fabulous, that explanation makes tons more sense. Again, thank you.No problem.
