Guild Help?!

[sarebeary]

In my guild, the text that is in the text box (blog style) shows for Firefox users.. but not IE users.

Can anyone help :/?

 

This is what it's like:

 

<div style="position:absolute; top:612px; left:414px; width:554px; height:102px; overflow:auto;">
<center>TEXT HERE.</center>
</div>

 

 

I can't see what I'm doing wrong D:

Any help is really appreciated :D!

another thing that might help is if you could post the url to the page you're working on.

 

things that may be causing it: you have non-semantic markup.

-why do you have a table tag floating on its own? there are no rows or cols defined (tr, td). that's probably the biggest cause of it.

-what is the purpose of "</td></tr>"? they were never opened, why are you closing them?

-lastly, if you want to center the text inside the div, add the following css: text-align: center.

 

rule of thumb: if the data isn't tabular, don't use tables.

 

edit: you may also notice that scrollbars are only stylable for IE. just an fyi.
