Question

Any suggestions on code fixes or other reasons why this could be happening

Answer 1

In your code, you have:







That's wrong because you haven't learned that with few exceptions (such as the
tag), an opening tag needs a closing tag. By that I mean will have to close it and your text or other content between them. Also, you coded your attribute as if it were a tag by itself (). You need the attribute to be inside the tag, like this:

Text for cell



You need to either use a WYSIWYG editor (links below) that will do the coding for you, or spend a few dozen hours studying the way to code.



I do not recommend using any version of Internet Explorer as a test of HTML code. IE does not comply with standards. Use Firefox or Safari, and get the page to work in those. Then IE will likely show the page fine. Asking IE to be the test of HTML code is like asking Pa Kettle to be the test of hard work.

Different browsers will render pages differently. It's a common problem web designers are always having to deal with. If you are working with plain html then you can set the column width like this:



stuff where px is pixels, or

stuff where you give a percentage of the width of the container.

Due to differences in how web browsers render a page, your page will look different. You could tear your hair out trying to get them all to do what you want.



Without posting your HTML and CSS, there's no way to tell why it's doing what it's doing. You could paste a sample HTML and CSS documents to pastebin.com and post the link to see if anyone can see where things might be going wrong.

I easily have Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and internet Explorer all put in. My husband is going to college for computers and presented me to Opera. it rather is lots quicker than any of the others. for college, I might desire to apply internet Explorer to get entry to their portal. it is so stressful and it takes lots time to load something.
