Why does my page look funny in IE?

My pages look fine in Safari and Firefox, but when I open them in Internet Explorer, there are these large white rectangular shapes that are semi-transparent at the top of my page. Can any one help figure this out? My site isn't finished by any means but I don't want to continue if it's going to look terrible in IE which is what most people use with pc's

As Wyodor indicated IE is not the most advance, up-to-date browser out there.

Team Blog: Why does my page look different in BrowserLab?

Duane O'Brien, engineer on the BrowserLab team has a new blog post on the BrowserLab Team blog that you might find interesting. It covers when/why you might see rendering differences between the BrowserLab browsers and your local browsers. Good info.

Why does my page look great in design view and to the left in live view?

I just created a new page using a fluid grid layout and in "design" view it looks great but in "live" view or on a browser preview the wording all goes to the left. What I am doing wrong? I also have another question which may relate to the first. I have four templates. Do I create a new named .css file for each new template or continue using the same layout.css file for all templates? Since I created a new .css file for every template maybe it is causing confusion. Thanks in advance.

If this is what you want, rework your HTML so all three images are in the same div and adjust your css to narrow the scroll down image and on Order jpg, vertically align top, 30px margin.
<div id="header">
<div id="pic1">
<img src="Thumbs/Scroll-Down.jpg" alt="More Pictures">
<img class="goldborder" src="NewImages/englilshivymain.jpg" alt="">

Why does my site look nothing like the design and during testing once uploaded to the server?

Why does my site look nothing like the design and during testing once uploaded to the server?,
Im using Muse whichj crashes like you would not beleive, but after much perseverance I got a basic 4 page holding site together, I tested the site and it all looked fine, when I uploaded it to the server it looks nothing like the site I tested, to the point that even the background has changed colour and nothing is in the rite place.

Why does my IPad act funny when its cold

Why does my iPad act funny when its cold. Types by itself, moves up and down the page by itself, all finds of wild things.

Nonoperating temperature: -4° to 113° F (-20° to 45° C)

Why does my 24fps look bad on my TV?

I just got the Panasonic AG-HMC150. I have shot some footage at both 1080p24 and 720p24. I transcode the files to Pro Res in FCP and they look pretty good, I realize the panning isn't as smooth as 60i. I drag one of the files into the FCP timeline and let it automatically "optimize my settings" for the sequence. I have verified that it is 23.98fps and field dominance is none. I have tried selecting "share" and going straight to AVCHD from FCP, and also taking the original MTS file, and Apple Pro Res and dropping into Toast and trying that way. The footage just looks choppy, jiddery and unsmooth. I have seen enough movies in my life to know that when they pan, or have cars drive by, that movies 24fps looks a million times better. My Sony HDTV even accepts and displays 24fps, and when I press info on the TV remote when watching one of these AVCHD discs it in fact says 1080 (or 720) 24p. It just looks bad. Even taking the HDMI output from the camera and hooking up to the TV and playing from the camera looks lousy.
What am I doing wrong? I know a ton of post work goes into Hollywood movies, but why does their 24fps look nice and smooth and mine looks horrible? Do I need to render with pulldown in FCP or something. I can't figure it out. Any advice, suggestions?

I transcode through FCP to apple pro res, the files shows up as 1920x1080 24fps. Field dominance is none. I edit the video and then export as quicktime movie using current settings. The Pro Res file says 23.98 when played in quicktime so I know that's good. I simply then drop the file into Toast (10.0.4) and burn blu-ray disc, selecting DVD as the media. I noticed too I need to change the field dominance under the encoding tab in Toast to progressive, as automatic doesn't work. It only burns the top half of the image. Regardless, when I make these discs and play them on PS3, my TV's info says 1080/24p. Maybe my eyes aren't use to seeing 24fps. Does it sound like I am doing anything wrong in my workflow/encoding process.
Again, good tip on the shutter speed Jerry.

Why does the videos looks so slow

why does the videos looks so slow only in the internet

Many reasons, like what format they are, for instance Flash Videos will be slower.
Any links to the slow ones?

Hi @kots
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP LaserJet M2727 Multifunction Printer series page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Check for an update. Also if you're on 3G, try to doing it over WiFi to see if it works better because sometimes the network just can't handle it so the app crashes to protect itself.

Why does my PDF look so CRAPPY when I print through acrobat???

I have been having troubles with exporting a PDF from an Indesign file.. when I printed the exported PDF from acrobat, text was printing out very pixelated. I was exporting the file in indesign as a press quality pdf. The text looked fine when I viewed it in acrobat and zoomed in, but when I printed it out it looked very pixelated and not as black as it had when I had printed the file directly from indesign.
so this is what I've figured it out so far... I was exporting to PDF in indesign then opening it in adobe arobat pro and printing from there... for some reason when I went into my advanced print settings in acrobat, it was set to "print as image: 100 dpi." I changed it and it printed out better but not perfect. To double check it was adobe that was causing the issue, I opened and printed the pdf through mac preview. This looked perfect - - exactly like it did when I printed through INDD.
So my questions are, 1> WHY does it automatically printing as an image 100 dpi in adobe? and 2> how can I change this setting so when my client opens it up, they dont have to mess with any of the print settings to get it to look how it's supposed to? Is this a setting I can change when I save the file? I want to make sure it prints out correctly because one of the fonts used is ultralight and can look very very light if printed incorrecty. It looks perfect when I print through preview, but even printing as an image in 600 dpi through acrobat pro, the ultralight font looks lighter and more faded than it should (and than it does in the preview and INDD printed files). If i unselect the "print as image" checkbox, the ultralight text looks better but still not perfect. So that would make my second question >> WHY is the print quality worse when I print through adobe, and how can I remedy this? Any ideas??? Any help much appreciated!
**using acrobat pro 9.4.6 on mac osx 10.6.8

The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
*As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

Why do web pages look slightly blurred on Mac?

I have a Mac Mini and a PC with XP on the same monitor, (using a kvm). Almost every web page I view looks better on the pc then the mac. On the mac, the fonts appear thinker and slightly blurred. the same web page on the pc is much sharper and clearer. Both use Firefox and res is the same on both 1280 x 1024. Even Apple's own site looks better on the pc! I've checked, and the same font's are installed on both. I've connected the Mac directly to the monitor, just in case it was the kvm, but no difference. I've also checked on other Mac's (albeit with larger screens), web pages look clearer on them.
Why does a mac, supposedly renowned for its graphics, not display as well as a PC? Monitor is Belinea 19" flatscreen.

Page looks funny in IE, looks fine in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hi Everyone,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This page looks fine in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, but the formatting gets screwed up in Internet Exploder. Since I'm on a mac, checking is rather difficult for me. Aside from fixes to the code to get this to display properly, does anyone have any advice as to how to check stuff in IE from a mac, aside from 1) buying a PC or 2) asking PC friends to take screen shots? Here's the link:

Ok, that is weird. It seems to only be altering IE 8. I did a screenshot test of IE 7 and looked at it in 9 and it doesn't seem to be affected.
I had run your page through the validator before and only came up with unnecessary code for tracing and missing alt tags. Here is the block of code that first seems to be affected:
<td valign="top" class="style9"><span class="style12">Astor Piazzolla (Arg.)<br />
Alberto Ginastera (Arg.)<br />
Camargo Guarnieri (Brazil)<br />
Juan Orrego-Salas (Chile)<br />
Paquito D’Rivera (Cuba)<br />
Joaquín Nin (Cuba)<br />
Carlos Chavez (Mex.)<br />
<br />
Manuel Ponce (Mex.)<br />
<br />
Silvestre Revueltas (Mex.) <br />
Ricardo Lorenz (Venezuela)<br />
Manuel de Falla (Spain)/ Arr. Kochanski<br />
Xavier Montsalvatge (Spain)</span></td>
I then look at "class='style9'" and "class="style12" right after that:
.style12 {     font-size: 8pt;
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     line-height: 12pt;
     background-color: #FFFFFF;
     color: #000000;
     font-weight: normal;
.style9 {font-size: 9pt;
     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
     font-weight: bolder;
     color: #0099FF;
     text-align: right;
This tells me that you are not very familiar with code because DW created 2 classes named "style#". As you can see, both classes are defined, and both want different things, one is 9pt the other 8, one is normal font-weight, the other is bold, but both are defined on the same element. I see a pattern of this throughout your page which leads to apdivs that don't seem to have a purpose and a long line of <br /> tags to insert line breaks and create spacing instead of using margins and padding. Most here will argue that while DW is a great tool, a knowledge of HTML & CSS will always be better. Overall, I don't see any need for anything more complex than 3 styles; one for blue header, one for bold header and one for body text. Then insert your header 1, header 2, body text, and then put the following content inside table and repeat.
Based on what is there, in order to solve the problem efficiently, I would recommend starting at your template file (assuming you are using one, if not you should look at it for this type of layout). Then re-layout the body content on the page with the template in tact using the suggestions above. I would also recommend giving the below tutorial a quick read through in case some of the CSS comments I made did not make sense.
