    well not quite...

    Hi all. I'm just trying to get to grips with some CSS issues, general noob helplessness and some cross browser ones... I'm an IT student and have been asked to build some sites for people so i thought id take it as an opportunity to learn CSS and other skills, rather than doing it up all on Dreamweaver say.

    Anyway i've made up a basic template for the site using CSS. The two issues are: one, is my application of CSS correct? am I on the right road with this? and secondly: i'm having cross browser issues, it renders ok in everything except IE. i expected this pretty much but haven't a notion with which to even begin knowing where I might find resources that could help me on this.

    so if you have a spare minute or two to glance over the code that'd be splendiferous. (i should probably point out that i just embedded the CSS in the html just for now, just found it easier to learn it that way)

    ..page not found.

    Is it supposed to be http://www.eftireland.com/mockup/template.html ? Havinga look at that now.

    Don't really have time to look over this at the moment, but just a couple of quick things :

    + The site looks quite nice, so that's good.

    - Your javascript roll-over links could be replaced with simple anchor (<a>) and CSS (a:hover { blah } )

    - I don't have access to IE at the moment (using a mac), but I'm going to guess your problems have something to do with padding and/or margin. IE treats padding and margins differently than other, standards compliant, browsers.

    I suggest you fix the validation errors with your HTML and CSS.

    that's the GoDaddy ads script at work, not me. quite irritating that is. whenever the site is built though i'll get them to actually pay for hosting without that crap....
