I recently joined a board that is using Xoops. While I like the interface a lot, the one they have set up just isn't working with Firefox. They said they've tried but don't know what to do.

The basic problem is that firefox spans the pages as wide as possible. I took a picture to show you what I mean.

IE look great, there are line breaks and every thing displays in one screen.

Firefox:
Have to scrool right to see the entire screen, no line break, etc.

Re: Ugly Problem with Firefox

Trying to validate the site reveals 69 items, where this may be the important one:
Quote:
Line 138, column 40: document type does not allow element "style" here

<div id="content"><style type="text/css">

The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).

One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).


But I don't know... Doesn't look like the CSS is setting widths on many items.

Download Firefox 1.01. They have fixed most of the CSS bugs with the new version--reads out like IE.

Just a thought
