display problems in mozilla
-
blog looks o.k. in IE, but in mozilla the text-body bleeds into the right side-bar. it looks as though the logo won’t allow text below it…
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
-
I’m assuming this is his blog, as the right-sidebar looks messed up:
http://kfskchris.wordpress.com/What browser are you using?
-
I would like it to look fine in any browser. The page looks fine in IE7 but not in Mozilla 3.5 – not sure why I didn’t check before now!
-
Yes, http://kfskchris.wordpress.com/
looks bad in Google Chrome, too
hoped someone had seen it before and had a solution.
if not, I’ll have to slog through it later. -
@wpadvanced (no kidding!): The sidebar is not “messed up”, and the problem has nothing to do with the sidebar. (That’s not the first mistaken or useless answer you’ve given over the past days, so kindly stop bragging that you can “help with about 99.9% of any problems”.)
@kfskchris: You’ve set the alignment of the KFSK logo to left, so the text wraps around it. The lines you’ve got next to it are too few, so your table also wraps around the image and gets displaced to the right. You should turn the logo along with the lines you’ve got next to it into a table.
By the way, why have you set each one of these lines as a separate div?
-
About the divs – “I” didn’t do that, I’ve been trying very hard NOT to circumvent wordpress’ translation of the page so I can discover how easy or hard this will be for other DJs at the station to duplicate.
I figured it had something to do with the text wrap, but I’m not where I can devote my full attention to the matter. Thanks for confirming it might be that simple.
Will update later/tomorrow.

@panaghiotisadam: The sidebar has been messed up if you are so blind to see… just because it’s not the sidebar causing it doesn’t mean it’s not messed up. That’s like scribbling over the mona lisa and saying it’s not messed up, it’s the pen that’s messed up. Don’t be so rude to people who are at least attempting to answer.
@kfskchris: Play around with the alignment of the image, and the alignment of the text and keep previewing it. You’ll find the solution soon enough. That’s all I can think of.
-
@kfskchris: If you need to, I can give you the proper table coding for your logo + initial lines (or other html solutions). And what do you mean by “translation of the page”? Where do you copy the pages from?
@jimmyleec: When I was a 1-week member here, I kept my mouth shut and tried to learn instead of lecturing others.
I’ll be as “rude” as I like to 2-day members who pretend they know much when they don’t, and who “attempt to answer” when they cannot – because they are more interested in pimping their blog than helping.
Or to 1-week members who likewise give non-advice or wrong advice to an OP after someone else has already given the solution: “Play around with the alignment of the image, and the alignment of the text and keep previewing it. You’ll find the solution soon enough.” Again, no kidding! So long as kfskchris wants those lines next to the image, playing around with the alignment won’t solve his problem.
As for my blindness, I’m so blind as to be able to see what happens in different browsers: in Safari and Flock, for instance, if you magnify the text a little, everything will fall in place (because the initial lines of text will have occupied all the image height). So, to indulge you and your stupid Mona Lisa analogy, the situation isn’t like vandalizing a painting with a pen, it’s like moving in front of it the transparent exhibit that was next to it.

@ pjimmyleec & wpadvanced
Giving answers that don’t functionally answer a poster’s question is not helpful
Before you give an answer, test how your possible answer works. (you really need a test blog or two…) Look at the questioner’s source code and think about what it shows you.
Telling someone to just “play around and just keep previewing” is not telling the questioner anything more than he/she is already doing. That’s not providing an answer, and is not useful.
A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.

Whoah!
Took the path of least resistance and added a
to give me the extra line so the table no longer “wraps.” I will work on better code later.What I mean by translation is any program/site that allows you to create a web page without having to know html. I’m always horrified at the garbage code it creates, but I’m trying to get over it.
and why would you assume I’m a he?
-
If you want to post code in the forums, use backticks to force it to display rather than execute. You’ll see the code is missing from your post above.
-
“What I mean by translation is any program/site that allows you to create a web page without having to know html.”
And I meant which one. We might be able to suggest a better one.
“and why would you assume I’m a he?”
Isn’t Chris a masculine name? (And why does this matter?)
-
No, Chris can be a feminine name as in Christine or Cristina or other such variation.
Christopher would be masculine. Nick name Chris. -

Birds, bees?
Sorry.
Doesn’t really, but women often feel unacknowledged.
Or worse in some places. -
Just to chime in, I adore playing with people who have assumed things about my gender in the absence of specific information. The conclusions that people jump to are very informative. And so are their reactions when I tell them I’ve been doing this.
Which is why I’m unpopular, I suppose.

Your usual feminine self-deprecation!
Androgynous and anonymous do present some interesting “possibilities” on-line. I’ve seen people carry out some fairly complex dramas that have lasted for months in forums. Not this one, of course.
