    creating a footer - appears in left navigation (nav based on PPLeftNav2)

    Hi,

    I am stuck now for hours with this problem and am running out of ideas.
    My Template works fine in Firefox and Chrome, but not IE.

    So I went and tried to find what the problem is, and it is something in Umbraco or the css maybe.

    Thanks to Firebug, I found that the footer, that I have in my master page, appears actually to be the last div in the side menu and has hence a padding and seems to shoot the Maun Content to the right.

    Please check

    If anybody has any ideas what I am missing here I would be sooo much obliged.

    Thanks

    Bettina

    Hi Bettina

    There are quite a few issues with your page.  Maybe you could check some of your errors at http://validator.w3.org/ 

    First of all you are missing the standard <html> tags and doctype. 

    Once you get these things sorted your intial issue may become more obvisous. 

    Thanks,
    Matthew

    Make sure that if you are using XSLT scripts, that there are no empty tags generated.  self closing div tags will cause all kinds of problems.

    You also have nested head tags in your mainContent.

    Thanks very much for thge help already.

    I know it still is a total mess, but I am hopeful I will get there (first time with Umbraco and just understanding what goes where, while I have been using the previous templates - which appearantly were based on Runway and taking snippets here and there to find my way through)

    - Added xhtml to master

    - deleted the nested Head tag

    Casey wrote"Make sure that if you are using XSLT scripts, that there are no empty tags generated.  self closing div tags will cause all kinds of problems.". I am sure THAT is my problem, I just cannot see where that comes from. The xSLT script has two div tags, but they are closing...

    Will work my way through cleaning up with Validator now.

    Thanks for help thus far!
    Bettina
