    Firefox display issue

    Stuart Haiz Community Member
      I have an unwanted space that appears in FF/Safari on my site, but not in IE7. Here's the site: www.hobarts.co.uk & the space is immediately below the Advanced Search links on the left sidebar.

      I've zeroed margins/padding but no luck. Can anyone see any glaring mistake I've overlooked please?
      (BTW - Quick search isn't working at the moment - I've posted this on the dynamic forum.)

          Work on some of the errors from the validator first.

          http://validator.w3.org/

          Just from a quick breeze through the errors you have a couple of breaks written as <br> instead of <br /> which is what it should be for the XHTML document type. Also I was seeing some P tags that were closed but never opened. Go through those just to make sure that the extra tags are not causing the display issues and if it is still present post back.

          With regards to the search it is a known issue. You have to use the Advanced Search feature on these forums in order to search right now. There is no estimate as to when we will see a resolution to this.

            Hello,

            I see a class of clearfloat but no style in your CSS.
            Perhaps that and removing the height from the iframe.


            #sideBar #iFrame {
            margin: 0px;
            padding: 0px;
            width: 200px;
            /*height was 260px*/
            }
            .clearfloat {
            clear:both;
            height:0;
            font-size: 1px;
            line-height: 0px;
            }

            Take care,
            Tim

              That link left me taking a very big gulp... Thank you - I'm working through it. Search issue is now fixed & I've also resolved the tag issues.

              Thank you for pointing this out. The .clearfloat class was an oversight. I've tried taking out the height which works for FF/Safari but creates a margin collapse in IE. Your pointers are helpful, so thanks. I'm marking this as answered as I know where I need to fix this now.
