Why does this look weird in IE? - RefactorMyCode.com

This code works perfectly in firefox but when i open it in IE it breaks. Even the text does not disappear which is using javascript!

Please help!

Have you tried validating the HTML that is rendered? Sometimes unclosed or illegally nested tags can cause weird behavior. If you're still having trouble, please post the rendered HTML.

Hey, sorry still struggling, this page does not validate (although the front-end of the site does) this is just the admin interface and so i thought less important. However all the other admin pages work just fine... I dunno why this one seems to look any different?

Thanks,
James

"this page does not validate"

So then *read the validation errors* and fix those problems. HTML validation isn't just a yes/no question; the W3C tool can be a little cryptic sometimes, but if you're a professional developer, it's worth reading the messages and learning what they mean.

"However all the other admin pages work just fine"

So then focus on what's *different* about this page.

Check for JavaScript errors. Try disabling CSS and JS. Leave out the partials. Try removing chunks of HTML (e.g. those "OL" tags and their contents) until it does work. Eventually you will have something in a working state; then add stuff back until it breaks and that will narrow down where the problem is.

Come on man, this is RefactorMyCode.com not DebugMyCode.com -- debugging is a critical part of the developer's job, and you figuring how to solve this problem is far more valuable than just finding out the solution. Keep working at it, man -- you'll get it. :)
