Hi Stephanie - Well, you have one easy one (the second) and one that has me looking rather
crosseyed at the moment. Here's what to do -
For #2, add position: relative to the image.right selector. That should fix the disappearing parts
of your image. (I see that since I started looking at this you have repositioned the pictures)
For #1 - For some reason, when you add the last <li> in your last <ul> the print problem (crashing)
happens. All the other parts of the page can stay, but that one. I have no idea why this is
happening, but I have a fix (which lets you keep the <li>), at least on my machine.
You will need to add a margin-bottom rule for the ul selector. But there are a few catches. First,
the rule must be applied to all the <ul>s, second, the units must be pixels, and third, it must be
12px or fewer. Whew!
Here's what your selectors should look like for both fixes -
img.right {
float: right;
margin-left: 15px;
margin-bottom: 2px;
margin-right: 2px;
position: relative;/*add this*/
}
ul {
list-style-type: square;
list-style-position: outside;
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 12px;/*must be pixels and 12 or less*/
}
I recommend that you also check this page, and your others with the w3c validator (
http//validator.w3.org/ ). There are a couple of errors. They aren't what is causing IE's problems,
but you'll probably want to fix them.
If I might suggest, the following page has good suggestions on how to isolate mystery problems and
bugs. I find it is very helpful.
