search results not showing propperly

Submitted by rolli1 on Thu, 2009-12-10 16:17 in

Hi David,
before I try to explain what I mean I ask you please to go to my site {link saved} and execute a search. You then will see that the results show not in the propper place they start down on the page.
How can I manage to change that?

Regards

Roland

Hello Roland,

The page looks fine in Firefox at the moment, but it's all down to how the different browsers handle the HTML and CSS in your template.

The best thing to do might be to check the validity of your template using the W3C checking tool;

http://validator.w3.org/

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

...but the output from those tools can be a bit daunting!

If you are not sure; if you can send me these files:

search.php
default.css
html/header.php
html/footer.php

...then I will try them on my test server and see if I can find what is making the difference...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,
the site looked well with all IE since IE6; now a few days before I uploaded an update for IE8 and since that time it does look different.
Search.php and default.css are the same as distributed and header.php did not change since more than a year. footer.php is empty at that moment.
I never looked into the default.css but now I added

.searchresults { position: absolute;top:300px;left:200px;
width: 728px;

and it works now in IE as well as in FF.

Thanks for the hint with the default.css
I case if we do not meet here before Holydays and New Year I whish you all the best and happy Christmas for you and your family.

Regards ans all the best
