Was looking at my site today and there are external links for ads all over the place. did ancestry do this or what happened. One of the pages even had a video pop up on the page. when I view source I can't see the link and if I reload the page the extra link is back almost right away the site is here http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fraileyclan/index.html Jackie

Many Thanks Randy Congratulations! No Error Found. This document validates as CSS level 2.1 !

Hopefully Randy Winch sees this post, and can find time to make the correction. As far as I can tell, the missing "padding: 0;" declaration has no affect on the rendering outcome, and any pages hosted by the FreePages server will Validate HTML wise as an invalid CSS declaration is just discarded by the browser. Its the same as using CSS hacks or IE expressions used to fix rendering in older IE browsers. They only work for those browsers targeted and get discarded by the rest. Barry

The problem you have with the left column menu not displaying in IE7 is to do with something endemic in older versions of that browser, i.e. the "hasLayout" issue. Its pointless going into it in any detail as the issue has slowly cleared itself with the passage of time, but reference to what I wrote about floating divs a couple of years ago can be found at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bristowe/float/float.html and another little project at:- http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bristowe/float/!float-divs.html Barry

You can nest a Definition List (DL) inside an Ordered List (OL). Change the offset and/or numbering with Style. The code would look like this: <.ol> <.li>Frederick WIGGINS 1806-1831<./li> <.li>Mary WIGGINS 1808-1877<./li> <.dl> <.dd>Spouse: John HEDGES c1808-1850<./dd> <.dd>Children: <./dd> <.dd>i. Mary Ann HEDGES 1837- <./dd> <dd>ii. William HEDGES 1839-1877 <./dd> <./dl> <.li>Elizabeth WIGGINS 1812-1832<./li> <./ol> Pat Asher

Alternate suggestion 1: <.ol> <.li>Frederick WIGGINS 1806-1831</li> <.li>Mary WIGGINS 1808-1877<br /> Spouse: John HEDGES c1808-1850 <.ul> <.li>Children: <.ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <.li>Mary Ann HEDGES 1837-</li> <.li>William HEDGES 1839-1877</li> </ol> </li> </ul> </li> <.li>Elizabeth WIGGINS 1812-1832</li> </ol> This yields an unnumbered list with one item, "Children" and, within it, a numbered list of two items. Alternate suggestion 2: <.ol> <.li>Frederick WIGGINS 1806-1831</li> <.li>Mary WIGGINS 1808-1877 Spouse: John HEDGES c1808-1850 <.h5>Children: </h5> <.ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <.li>Mary Ann HEDGES 1837-</li> <.li>William HEDGES 1839-1877</li> </ol> </li> </ul> </li> <.li>Elizabeth WIGGINS 1812-1832</li> </ol> The h5 (or other heading) tag forces new lines before and after the element. -rt_/)

Roger, As alluded to, the problem in IE7 is how it handles floats, and I have found that the page renders OK with the following adjusted styles :- #container { padding: 10px; background: #FFE0B2 url('./images/gone_fishing.jpg') repeat; width: 95%; max-width:1080px; margin: 10px auto; } In the header after your script, add the following:- <!--[if lt ie 8 ]> <style> #outerWrapper #contentWrapper #content {margin: 0px; float:left; } </style> <![endif]--> The above has been tested in IE7 thru IE10, plus current versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari. The current version of Opera has a problem with the floats, and I'll investigate further. Barry

Roger, Cancel my comments re setting the leftColumn1 margin-left:0. When I tested it, I was looking at the wrong browser! Barry

It will show the rendering in either IE9, IE8 or IE7 - by selection. You have another problem, and that is the layout breaks when the browser width is greater than 1080px, and I found the easist way to correct that was by adding to your #container styles - width:95%; max-width:1080px; In IE7, the disappearing #leftColumn1 is due to IE7 not being happy with organizing floats when given a percentage width. My suggestion is you add after your script in the head section the following:- <!--[if lt ie 8 ]> <style> #outerWrapper #contentWrapper #leftColumn1 {margin-left:0;} </style> <![endif]--> Barry

Rosemary asked about sub-list items interfering with main list numbering. Rosemary's code (leading dots inserted): <.ol> <.li>Frederick WIGGINS 1806-1831</li> <.li>Mary WIGGINS 1808-1877<br /> Spouse: John HEDGES c1808-1850</li> <.li style="list-style-type:none">Children: <.ol> <li>Mary Ann HEDGES 1837-</li> <li>William HEDGES 1839-1877</li> </ol> </li> <.li>Elizabeth WIGGINS 1812-1832</li> </ol> <!-- end --> I believe the numbering problem comes from creating a separate list item to contain the sub-list; this additional item increments the list item counter. It would be better to put the sub-list into the prior item and the list-style type into the list tag. My recommendation: <.ol> <.li>1st item text </li> <.li>2nd item text <br /> Spouse: John HEDGES c1808-1850 <br /> Children: <!-- no item end tag, no new item --> <.ol style="list-style-type: none"> <li>Mary Ann HEDGES 1837-</li> <li>William HEDGES 1839-1877</li> </ol> <!-- now end the previous item --> </li> <.li>Elizabeth WIGGINS 1812-1832</li> </ol> <!-- end --> Or, for the desired " Children: i. Mary Ann HEDGES 1837- ii. William HEDGES 1839-1877" Use: " Children: <.ol style="list-style-type: lower-roman"> <li>Mary Ann HEDGES 1837- </li> <li>William HEDGES 1839-1877 </li> </ol> </li>" BTW, you can use the CSS to create the numbering styles, as in: Ol.level_1 { list-style-type: inherit; } Ol.level_2 { list-style-type: lower-roman; } Ol.level_3 { list-style-type: lower-alpha; } Then, invoke in the HTML with: <.ol class="level_1"> <.ol class="level_2"> etc. Hope this helps. -rt_/) ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Roger, I'm at work where we haven't upgraded from IE-7 and that's correct, the left navigation panel doesn't show. The blank space is there, but nothing else.

It looks just fine here.I believe that IE is updated to the latest and greatest iteration.

Hi, Thank you for that idea. I did try using an extra <br> but I wanted to see if there was a way of keeping "children" as a list item and then re-numbering. Tracy pointed out that numbering can be altered by using the value attribute and Barry suggested changing the DOCTYPE to html5 - and it works and validates :-) Thank you again, Rosemary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On 02/07/2012 10:00, cgturcotte@gmail.com wrote: > The problem was caused by identifying the title of the sub-list as an item > of the parent list, then specifying it has no number. > I.e.

The problem was caused by identifying the title of the sub-list as an item of the parent list, then specifying it has no number. I.e. Elizabeth WIGGINS was displayed at #4 on the list, because it was the fourth li (list item) listed.

I have been told that IE7 users cannot see the left-navigation panel of this website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rogerhendrix/ A search using Google did not really help; however, there was a hint that a couple years back IE7 did not like some of the CSS used by the new versions of IE. I do not have a system that has IE7. Does anyone have a system with IE7 loaded that can take a look at this web site and make a suggestion as to what is wrong. Thanks in advance. Roger P. Hendrix
