Margin Popping

[Guest Rory]

Hello,

 

This is my first post..

 

I have been using a template for rorcom.net, and I can't figure out why the index page is on a different margin than the other pages. After the user leaves the home page, the left margin changes. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks all

I'm not noticing any difference on Firefox or Chrome. What specific browser are you using?

I notice a jump to the right when going from the index or services page to the about page (and visa versa), but a quick look didn't show me what the issue might be.

 

The page does start out with an empty p tag that appears not closed in the view source view, but does have a closing tag when I look at it with Firebug. Odd. And while there's no point to this tag, I don't think it's the issue at hand.

 

Out of time for now.

Isn't it just the scrollbar?

 

Also, Firebug shows what the browser has interpreted, so Firefox etc auto-close unclosed tags, but in View Source it will show the original code.

I saw it jump from the left by about 5-10px in both IE8 and FX. However, it only did it a few times in FX whereas it continues to jump in IE8.

I assume the non-table version isn't content complete. To fix that main div,

 

div#mainpage {

position: absolute;

margin-top: -1px;

margin-left: 5px;

width: 595px;

height: 460px;

display: inline;

background-color: #E8E8D0;

font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}
