New website graphics not working in IE8

lynnporter · 09-29-2009, 01:19 AM

Just set up new a website, http://hcao-eugene.org. Works fine in Firefox but graphics & Youtube video don't display in IE8 or, I'm told, Safari.

I use Dreamweaver 4 to create websites. I have both IE8 and Firefox. Windows XP.

I tested the same page on a different hosting service but didn't make any difference. So I presume something in the HTML is incompatible with IE8 & Safari. Don't have this problem with other websites I've created.

While searching through the source of your website I came across this:

Code:

<table width="8100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" height="244">

on line 54.

After changing the width from 8100% to 100% the page shows correctly.
Seems somehow Firefox corrects this but not IE.

Many thanks. I changed the code as suggested and the graphics now appear at the top in IE8.

The embedded Youtube video still doesn't appear in IE8, just a partial outline with a small symbol in the upper left corner. It works fine in Firefox. Any thoughts on that?

Is it the "Mad as Hell Doctors-SK Tool Strike Chicago" video that doesn't show in IE8?

Because when I open the site in IE8 I have no problem seeing that video.

Yes, that's the one. I tried a different Youtube video today, with the same results -- works in Firefox, doesn't work in IE8. Do I need to change some IE8 setting, reinstall it, or what?

Thanks for the feedback that it works in your IE8. Apparently the problem is with my version, which is 8.0.6001.18702. I have Windows XP set for automatic update, so I presume that's the latest version of IE8.

Videos work okay when I go to the Youtube website.

I'm currently using IE 8.0.6001.18813 in Windows Vista. But I have also used your version (8.0.6001.18702) on my Windows XP partition and your website worked as intended for me.
