I recently had a couple of complaints in regards to the new Website. It turns out the site looks OK in Firefox but does not seem to work very well with Internet Explorer.

I ran the W3C Validator located at http://validator.w3.org/

When executed against the site it found 11 errors. The files and fixes (highlighted in RED) are described below.

File: Header.php

Error: required attribute “type” not specified

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/js/addEvent.js”></script>

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/js/sweetTitles.js”></script>

I have also seen some other errors in Header.php, but they don´t seem to be a big problem.

Error: document type does not allow element “li” here; missing one of “ul”, “ol”, “menu”, “dir” start-tag.

Update

I finally worked out what was going on…

It was the mod_rewrite (RewriteEngine) in the .htaccess file.

I´m running WPSuperCache, so I thought this may have caused some issues.

As it turned out it was the WordPress section of the .htaccess which was causing the problems. I probably modified it at some stage…

Another Problem Found and Fixed

I have been having problems when placing graphics into a posting, where although the WYSIWYG editor shows the correct layout, the text below the image wraps around the graphic when the site is viewed.

After some looking around, I found a similar article written in relation to a different theme. As it turns out the fix for the DUST-317 Theme is the same.

Edit the DUST-317 Theme style.css located in the DUST-317 theme directory. Search for this line.

#content p img{float:left;border:none;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:10px;}

Remove the float:left; for the above line, making it look like this.

#content p img{border:none;margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:10px;}

ThatÅ› it… now the text sits under the graphics OK.
