Need help with broken pages...could use a hand

[bobth1019]

afternoon,

I am having a very tough time figuring out what is breaking pages I've been working on...please take a look at http://nhstage.sv.publicus.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage

Page is simple 3 cols...problem is with 3rd/right col (if viewing in FF, you can see filler ads...if in IE 6, no content is showing in this col). Also green footer is off to left in FF and in IE 6 huge blank space below footer.

It was working earlier, had been checking and all well, but now I've lost the thread and totally unsure of what is breaking this. I assume <div> issue but I can't track it and I'm just going in circles at this point.

I really could use a hand with this and I'm working to a crazy deadline so major headache here.

This is a dynamic drive template I've used in past with no issue, in fact. If you need code/css posted etc please let me know.

Question might be ... how do I track if there is a busted/unclosed div doing this to the page? Not sure if this is the issue but wondering how...I've checked them and they seem ok but not sure.

Thanks

Bob

You validate (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fnhstage.sv.publicus.com%2Fapps%2Fpbcs.dll%2Ffrontpage)! :D

You should be validating as you go anyway to make sure that you code holds up in most browsers. When you offer a browser invalid code, all kinds of crazy things happen.

I'd offer some advice on what's wrong, but it's hard to say at this point. The W3C validator show close to 540 errors. Most of these are related to syntax (for example using the closing tag in your line breaks with XHTML, <br />), but there are some that could be causing CSS application problems. And some divs that are open or div that are closed which were never opened.

Thanks for taking a look and the validation suggestion...actually, most of the validation errors are due to the CMS that we use and out of my reach. I found the error which was an unclosed div so that's a good thing. Again, thanks for looking.

Ehh, stupid obtrusive content management systems. Glad I found one that doesn't get in the way :D.
