My Hpage website is http://sayuri.hpage.com/
I create and maintain it in firefox and it looks fine there.
But I have lots of problems in Internet explorer.There are no frames (the menu -navigation bar) is not present in some pages,The font looks bigger and external html links are distorted. On the whole the website looks very bad in IE. what can I do?
please help!!

Hi divdes,

I have tested for you. Please add in the header settings in html-code followings:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

Then the toolbar is alright with IE.

Happy New Year 2011

Thanks Serena...I tried it long back ...but still doesnt work. Also Any idea on what I can do about the frames being present on all pages. (when I click a menu item it opens in a new page without the menu bar in IE, I want it to open in the same frame...what do I do?

Now you have the doctype double in your site. Please delete one.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Delete the red one.
