Hey guys...

if(!sizeof($res))
echo "<div id=error>NO POSTS TO DISPLAY</div>";

?>

The "troublesome php" listed above seems to be setting of my page's alignment in FF. Screenshots of how it renders in FF and IE are here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=22110.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

When I take out that bit of php, it aligns perfectly (but then, it produces errors within the php so taking it out is not an option).

What's the CSS for the "error" div? I'm almost positive that's the issue, and completely unrelated to the PHP code.

**Medyman** · 06-30-2007, 03:23 AM

This is no css for the error div.

Should I add something?

**djr33** · 06-30-2007, 03:26 AM

Hm... I assumed that there was a width value applied to the divs that was throwing something off. If not, then I'm not sure.
Can you link us to the page?

Remember, the PHP itself has very little to do with what is actually displayed... just the source code of the page itself. Once you find the problematic part of the outputted source, all you need is to find the bit of php that outputs it.

**Medyman** · 06-30-2007, 03:36 AM

The page is here

The weird part is that the error happens even when I test locally (i.e. the php is not running). So, I assumed it had to do with how the php is written.

**Medyman** · 07-01-2007, 06:34 PM

Any ideas, anyone?

**thetestingsite** · 07-01-2007, 06:46 PM

Simple answer: It's not a PHP issue, but it is a CSS issue.

When I view the images in the thread you linked to and look at the page in both IE7 and FF, they both look the same (no problems whatsoever); however, I did notice there are a few CSS errors (when viewed in FF). Other than that, I have no clue what the problem is because it seems to be fixed in those browsers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response!

My issue is that there is no css over the "error" div. So, I'm failing to understand why this is causing an error.
