Improper Display In IE6 and FP2002

J

Jim Ganze

I am using Win XP Pro and Frontpage 2002. The preview pane
of Frontpage, as well as IE6 display of a web site does
not agree with the display shown in the normal view of
these pages. Netscape 7 displays these properly. I have
uninstalled and resinsatlled IE6 according to MKBA 318378
a number of times and this has not correct the problem. I
have not Reinstall/Repair XP Pro for fear of losing all my
installed progams (this would be an absolute disater). I
have tried both inline and linked CSS. Does anyone have
any ideas for correction of this problem?

What is displaying differently??
Also, are you using absolute positioning??

Also, are you specifying the correct DOCTYPE

Just text formatting, postitioning is fine. Looks great in
normal pane but the formatting does not carry over to
Preview or IE6 Browser Preview. I negelected to say that I
am not using FP extension and have avoided using anything
that requires these.

Are you using a non standard font in the web pages??

Also, what formatting are you referring to. Text size, text positioning, is
text relocating itself etc?

Using Arial and I am simple tring to set up a color scheme
and yes there is some text resizing. But everything looks
proper other than the text styles are not carring over to
finished web pages. Everything is displayed in normal font
with no color change. But Netscape displays everything
properly. I seem to recal something the FP & IE6 may be
getting confused with CSS. I don't think I'm doing
anything exotic, but that is just my opinion.

OK.

Are you using an external style sheet, a style section in the page itself,
or inline styles applied to individual items on the page.

If an external style sheet, is it being called by the reference between the
head tags??
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="filename.css">

If you have a style script on the page:
<style type="text/css">
body{
style info here
}
</style>

Is it placed between the head tags.

Also if you are using either of the above, you need to remove all other
formatting from the page. Even if you have styles defined as above, any
inline style tags added to text etc will over ride anything applied by an
external sheet or a style section in the head tags.

And, also, if you are using the space bar to "position" items on the page,
( in html view you will see a lot of: &nbsp ) it will cause text or images
to "move around" as the browser will change the amount of space each &nbsp
equals depending upon the browser text size setting

I have tried both external and inline styles, each make no
difference. However that are two reference to the external
CSS. Both located within the <head> block, however 1 is
within a Style/Style and the other in found within the
<HEAD> but not between <Stlye> statements. When checking
HTML the class references for the formatting appear okay
and I don't have any embeded formatting overriding the CSS
with the HTML document.

OK,
You need to set one or the other as your style.
If you want to use the external one, remove the <style></style> one.

Then once you have the external one configured, remove the formatting from
your web page.
Edit > select all > Remove formatting.
Then your external style sheet will be in control.
You can then edit / change format in a particular sections you want.

It can be frustrating at first, but once you figure out how to use the
external style sheet, you'll love it.
