Strange behavior in IE (what else is new)

I made a site Jomo International
when scaling the window in IE all the text elements are gone. I started this site with tables and truw the year I leard CSS and converted/adapted some parts to us div’s etc.
In Ie it acts weard when scaling in FF it works normal (on some positioning of div’s it goes a bit wrong)

when refreshing the page after a scaling the elements are all back.

Anyone hase any idea what this could be? (*Besites that IE sucks)?

Thanks

p.s. I have a similar problem on the site www.eljakim.nu below the pictureframe on the homepage there is a pice of text IE somtimes show it but mostly not while its in source it does not display
I tryed setting the z-index but with no results.

Is there a limit in ie on number of div’s on one page?

Hello,

I didn’t look the code but I think this is due to italic.

IE doesn’t like italic font with div.

Can you give us a link to a specific page that’s doing this?

The first think I always do to troubleshoot non-functioning pages is to make sure they pass the W3C validators for both CSS and XHTML. Have you done that yet?

like I sayd before I started this page as a non validating sloppy table site. it will take to much time now to make it into div’s,

All the pages act that way ONLY IN IE (windows) in FF it works fine
try scaling your window and you will see.

try this link : http://jomo.kinghosting.nl/index.php?id=13
or any other page exept for the home page.

Thanks so far

The problem is I’m a Mac guy and don’t have IE Win fired up at the moment... just don’t want to start my new year off that way.

I’ve found in the past that a lot of issues can be resolved by having code that validates, whether or not it’s built in tables. Safari and FF tend to be more forgiving of malformed markup in my experience and "fix" things before rendering to the browser. IE is ... well ... for the time being IE.

Sorry!

I had no problems in IE with http://jomo.kinghosting.nl/index.php?id=13
but http://www.eljakim.nu/ in IE had text that went off the end of the page, where as FF was fine.

Couldn’t resize text to see if it would then fit in as it is not in em’s.

I put everything on my pages inside a container DIV, then you have more control over the page sizing.

No idea if this would help, or if you even want to go to the trouble of doing it but below is an example code. In the container div you can set its width etc and you would need to change the 43em to whatever size you want. Avoid using px as it won’t resize if the person increases font size, thus loosing content again.

I fixed the eljakim site there was a span tag not closed
the jomo site still has the same problems in IE windows (try resizing you window by the icon next to the X in the righttop of the window and you will see what I mean)
i looked at validation had lots of errors but non that would explain this kind of behavior I think

p.s. how much is a em?

p.s. how much is a em?

An EM is an equivalent measurement of the font size. So if font is 10pt them 1 em is 10pt, if em is 0.5 its 5pt.

This way as the user increase font size cos of disabilities or screens sizing, the relationship with other page items changes with it.

however I still use px when I need to have absolute control such as positioning of divs or content. The content however freely moves within that area.

as for http://jomo.kinghosting.nl/index.php?id=13 being fixed, if I go there with IE the line at the bottom only reads

Matheus is een nakomeling. Mattheus is een vrolijke,

Where as the source (and FF) shows me more than that.



As for http://jomo.kinghosting.nl/index.php?id=13 see what you mean. Its wired because if you resize it first then paste the link or refreshit, the writting is fine, until you resize it again.

as for http://jomo.kinghosting.nl/index.php?id=13 being fixed,

you mean www.eljakim.nu I think when full screen all the text is there while on a resized screen its partial gone but its never totaly gone as it was before.
still wondering why its partial gone the background also stops on a weard place.

It goes off the page when it is maximised in IE @ 1024 x 768
