Had a report that my website text "looks funny". I've been and checked but it looks okay to me. Any kind peeps like to pop over and report back for me? It's www.readerofminds.co.uk

Ta muchly.

The page for the ripper seance book, is completely screwed up. you have white lines all over the page, and to read what it says, you have to highlight it.

see mail.

all pages work fine for me, I'm on firefox...

Yeah, it's all working fine for Firefox and Chrome, but the jack the Ripper page is just thick white lines on IE. Hmm. Any ideas? Very odd...

Im not.. Not here anyways.

and i would suspect that anybody who has complained, isnt on firefox either.

It looks like something is different on that one page, because it's the only one that has the error.

I'm using CrazyBrowser and the Ripper page is screwed as Dale advises, same result using Internet Explorer.

Judging by the source code of the page... you've used a user-friendly design tool. Word or similar? I personally find it easier to troubleshoot pages that use CSS rather than containing lots of inline formatting as this does.

Using CSS for layout and formatting would allow you to redesign very quickly too. Too late now though

Sorry I can't be more help.

your open and close font tags seem to be all messed up...

and your site seems to be hard-coded?! dear oh dear...

And did you see the state of his meta tags! Ooh dear! No better than he ought to be, that one.

Hi themagicwand, Ive had this same problem too, Dam alternative browsers!!

Well the website is one of those cheapo Streamline jobbies. It does the job that I need it to, or at least it did up until this afternoon!

I've mailed the help desk at Streamline. No word back yet though. Probably lunchtime.

time to invest in a nice new site mr. bell...

Remove all instances of "background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" from the code for that page and try it.

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"><p style="font-size: 1em; font-family: inherit;"><font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><font xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><font style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" size="3"><font style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;" size="4"><span style="font-weight: bold;">JACK THE RIPPER SEANCE BOOK</span></font> </font>- £20</font></font></font></p></span></span><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"></span></span><span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255)

Paul, it's the last 255, 255, 255 in the paragraph I quoted above that's causing the white text background. Just tried it on IE6 and it works perfectly if you alter this tag.

The page for the ripper seance book, is completely screwed up. you have white lines all over the page, and to read what it says, you have to highlight it.

Thats what i had Dale!
