IE 6 not displaying CSS page correctly

Hi,
I realise this is probably something really simple but its
doing my head in.
http://www.scrimshaw-comm.co.uk/css_oldschol.html
The bottom of the image in the lower right hand corner sits
flush against the large creme background on firefox but sits
outside the box on explorer.
I had made this entire page (obviously what you can seee is
just the very basics) with tables and had similar issues, this is
my first delve into the world of css layout!
Cheers
Sam

This would be perhaps a less confusing rendition of the CSS -
margin: 0;
body {
background-color: #351301;
#mainbox {
width:800px;
height:650px;
background-color: #fbfce7;
background-image: url(siteimages/myimagetest.png);
background-position: right bottom;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
#header {
height: 100px;
width: 800px;
background-color: #fbfce7;
#content_box {
height: 500px;
width: 600px;
margin-left: 50px;
background-color: #FBFCE7;
border: thin solid #351301;
#logo {
float: right;
height: 250px;
width: 150px;
background-color: #FBFCE7;
-->
and for the HTML, I would use this (trivially different)
markup -
<body>
<div id="mainbox">
<div id="header">

</div>
<div id="content_box">

</div>

</div>
</body>
(I always put the closing comment INSIDE the container so
that if I move the
container, the comment goes along with it)

Print Problem - PDF is OK on Windows 7, but OK on Windows XP with "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."

I have received a PDF which prints fine in Windows 7 but with Windows XP I get "Acrobat Reader An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem." and a blank piece of paper passes through the printer. I appreciate that Windows XP is no longer supported but I would like to think that the solution to this problem is not too difficult!
I have tried Acrobat 9, 10 and 11.
Any advice (apart from use Windows 7! ) would be most welcome.
Many thanks.

If you use the same Adobe Reader versions with the same PDF on Windows 7 and XP, then I would expect the outcome to be the same.
Is this a local or online PDF?
If local, is the file really exactly the same?
If online, in what browser?

Error in Acrobat 8: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly...?

Hi,
We perform the e-signing on any PDF using our custom e-signature plug-in. Once that's done, when we try re-opening the PDF in Acrobat version 8.0.0.0, we get the following error:-
"An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem"
Please note that this error occurs intermittently and is NOT observed in Acrobat 7 or 9. Also, when a plain PDF is opened (i.e. a PDF without any signature on it) then there is NO error.
Could you let me know what could be the issue here? I read it in Acrobat 8.1.3 release notes that such an error was a known bug in version 8.0.0.0 (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407016.html), but I am not sure of its cause.
Let me know your comments/suggestions.
Thanks!

I am getting the same error even in Acrobat version 8.1.3.
Additionally, I noticed that if we click on menu ‘Advanced->Sign&Certify->Preview Document’, then we get a notification as “This document is not PDF/SigQ compliant and may display inconsistently”. On clicking ‘View report’ on that notification, the below dialog pops up. It has errors listed as:-
Code 4000 : Unrecognized PDF content. The document contains PDF content or custom content not supported by the current version of Acrobat.
Code 4002: PDF content contains erros.
However, if we sign the PDF using default adobe signature functionality and reopen that PDF, the error does NOT come and the notification also says ‘This document is PDF/SigQ compliant’.
Can anybody please suggest what could be missing in the custom sign that we apply? Is it because of any of the missing fonts or any other resources?
Awaiting reply!
Regards.

Why is Safari not displaying some pages correctly?

Safari seems to be messing up again. Had this problem quite a while ago. It's not displaying some pages correctly.
Notice the 2 enclosed screen shots. I went to purchase something (no personal info in the jpgs)
Notice the W-Safari. Little trash cans by the purchase items missing as well as the submit button and a few other things. So I opened Chrome.
Notice in the W-Chrome, everything is displaying correctly.
I've had problems like this some time ago but I thought they were fixed.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.

"An error exist on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem."
Any ideas how to get rid of this? Realistically its not practical to contact them, nor the other 1,000,000 web site owners whom host pdf's.
I really would like to disable the pop up only.
Seem to get it on quite a few PDF's. This web page seems to have quite a few that produce the problem.
http://www.2010.cannell.co.uk/manuals/manuals_porsche.html
click on the link to the pdf, scroll down a few pages and it pops up.
I do not get the error when using reader 10, only the new 11.0.0.1 version.

Hi Pat,
No problem withthe link you supplied.
This is one that has the problem "948 Cayenne Owners Manual - 2008 - Turbo" http://www.2010.cannell.co.uk/manuals/manuals_porsche.html

KHTML doesn't work, but I also have WebKit KPart for Konqueror which does display the page correctly.
I do have rekonq installed, but I prefer Konqueror over it. Yes I prefer Konqueror, even though rekonq is fine it's just doesn't feel right.
I hope that it either becomes more Konqueror like before becoming a KDE default browser or they just rebuild Konqueror to use WebKit.

Safari not displaying web pages correctly

I dont know if its my inexperieince, something to do with settings or what but I am finding some of the web pages I am receiveing are not displaying correctly. For example a card company sent me an online form to complete but when I tried to read it some of the information was displayed on top of more information making the whole thing garbled and indeciperable, on another website there was an area with a list of information held in a box but when I tried to read the information it would periodically jump about yet I was no where near the mouse. Both pages are fine on my husbands windows PC. There have been other incidents like this making the transition from windows to Mac very painful. Is this something that can be remedied or are we stuck with it?

When I experience the problem, I sometimes have to zoom in or out, to get the text to be readable.
The following is in the Safari > View menu --

Firefox does not display MobileMe pages correctly. Is this something you are working on fixing?

Mac OS 10.5.8 Mac Book Pro,
Side bar in mail scroll bars are missing and bar will not expand fully. Clicking on an email does not display it on the same page, it requires double clicking and opens in a new page.
Side bar in Gallery also not expanding. Other problems with diplay in Contacts, Calender, etc.

Did you use the same [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] for the test with 3.6.x and 4.0 ?
Looks like a problem with JavaScript (Ajax).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
If you the Firefox 4 beta version with the same profile then you should create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Error: An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly.

Hi --
The PDF I created is throwing an error message for some people in my organization and not others. I took a final PDF from our printer (not sure what they used to create it), optimized it, and added metadata and bookmarks -- all in Acrobat Pro X on a Mac. At one point I replaced a page of a lower resolution version with a page from a higher resolution version in order to maintain resolution for a particular image, but I later optimized the whole file and wiped out the higher resolution image. I also changed the numbering using the thumbnail view so that the frontmatter of the book uses lowercase roman numerals and printed page numbers match document page numbers. I removed the page number from the front and back covers. There are a bunch of images in the file.
The file is on our website behind a registration/log in page (free registration - Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Web Site) and this is a new initiative for us -- giving away full books as PDFs for free -- so I would like to know that the file is not throwing errors. However, there doesn't seem to be a common browser/Acrobat Reader config among the people here getting the error.
I can provide the file if needed.
Thanks in advance,
Susan

Acrobat 8 Pro. I combined several other PDFs that I downloaded, into one new document. It saved without errors, then after I printed it, this message popped up.
I poked around in the menus, looking for some type of "audit" function, like my CAD software has and found "Examine Document". I clicked on that and then removed all the 'metadata', 'hidden text on pages' and 'deleted hidden page and image content'. If the error message doesn't pop up again, I'll assume that fixed the problem.

Safari 3 still not displaying some pages correctly

Since I'm a .mac subscriber I would love to switch back to Safari from Camino so I can keep my bookmarks all in sync. Safari version 3 seems to be much faster and perhaps a bit lighter than 2.0 so I'm fully ready to make the switch.
However, I do have a web report that I have to access daily that Safari isn't displaying properly and I'm wondering if someone could tell me why. Basically this report is html I believe and about 15 columns wide. When I open the report in Camino, Firefox, and all Windows browsers it displays fine, but not in Safari. In Safari it only shows the first 4 columns. I think the issue might be the fact that the report is extremely wide and the other browsers adjust to this automatically and accept the fact that there is a good deal of left to right scrolling. Safari seems to only show the fields that it can display without increasing the width of the webpage.
Any ideas?

Tried everything, and Firefox still will not display web pages correctly. Please help!

I'm running the latest version of Firefox, and it recently started to lag. I was looking through these forums for an answer, and a bunch of people recommended to reset Firefox. I did so, and then the browser started to act very weird. When I go to websites such as Facebook and Youtube, it's just a bunch of black text along the left edge of the page. No images, and no illustrations like usual. All of the pages work perfectly in different web browsers, so it must be a problem with Firefox. I've tried everything under the sun to fix it, but still nothing. I tried re-installing, deleting the cache and cookies, and managing the privacy settings for the app. I really want to get Firefox back to normal, ASAP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! :)

i have made a form in Adobe acrobat.... the fills appear exactly fine but when i want to print the file the error dialog box appears and when i continue the text characters in the fields are printed all on each other. i tried the same on different computers and same issue . what should i do?

hi Ajlan,
i am using acrobat XI pro...
actually i found out that everything is ok on other computers specially windows (i use mac) i just need to fix the problem on my computer as well.
i created three different forms all from scratch and the same thing happened in all of them.

An Error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem.

Anyone have a quick fix for this?
The user that created a document updated adobe reader prior to getting this error message.

The PDF file structure is complex with lots of compression, offset tables, xref tables, mapping information, images, etc and if Acrobat/Reader cannot fix the minor problem then you need to download a new copy of the file from the source.
If this file is being sent by email make sure you email program can handle the PDF attachment or have the PDF sent to you in a zip file.

Why does f12(preview in browser mode) not render the page correctly?

Why does f12(preview in browser mode) not render the page correctly? Instead when i go to the main or original file, it renders properly? It is drriving me nuts! HAHA! Can anyone help? mainly CSS problem, div overlapping but when viewing from original file on browser not through F12, it renders correctly. CS5.5 DW. Thanks!

just that one of it is a f12 (preview in browser) while the other one is going to the directory and clicking the html page by itself.
F12 is simply a hot key that launches your browser.
The only thing I can think of to explain this is that you have a local site folder someplace in addition to a testing server site.
When you hit preview, your testing server on the localhost/ is being called up in the browser.
When you open the HTML page directly, you're seeing the local site file with unparsed data.
Try disabling your Testing Server in Sites > Manage sites > Edit...
