@WebJoelJun 10.2008 — You have Firefox: get the firefox extention "HTML Validator by TIDY". Install it, run it.

Your 'errors' are just "warnings" that

TIDY can fix automatically for you (although a few of them are potentially page-busting events).

I'm sure that the W3C-Validator finds more errors, but the recommendation for correcting them is a bit stoic and cryptic. Just let TIDY do the grunt-work for ya!

And btw, -LOVE the percula surf-board!!! [U]I want one[/U]! I don't surf... -[I]I'd just mount it on my wall like a trophy[/I]... ?

@dirtybirdsurfauthorJun 10.2008 — neither of those things fixed it, i think it is a problem with the lightbox script or code, thanks for the compliments on the boards though

@WebJoelJun 10.2008 — It's your code, -I'm pretty sure. See attached screenshot and notice that this is your #footer that is messing-up...

The way this is written is invalid, and it is page-busting. ?

@tracknutJun 10.2008 — There are a couple things that may be the source of the problem...

  • 1. You list all your thumbnail images with '... width="" height="" ' - I think IE is not liking this, and would prefer specific sizes listed, or the attributes remove completely.


  • 2. the footer div looks like
    <i>
    </i>&lt;div id="footer" (b)style="width:758px;"(/b)&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;'


  • I'm guessing the (b) and (/b) business in there could cause some interesting reactions to browsers. edit: I had to replace square brackets with parens in the above.
