Ah ha! I think I grok. Or so I thought...

Should be:

mollit anim id est laborum.</p>

<p class="source"><strong>Source: </strong><a href='#'>LINK</a></p>
This is how I intended it for styling purposes.
But it still does not validate with W3C
What am I missing? What is not properly nested? I just don't see it.
Thanks, Axel.

Nothing as far as I can see. I was referring to your previous DIV and
BLOICKQUOTE error message. This one must be Loro's XML well formedness.
As I still stick to good old HTML 4, no xhtml, I don't know about those.

Hi Greg,
Crap. I'm not sure how all the extra and misplace list elements go in
there. Don't no why I didn't see that before. Very messy.
I think I got them cleaned up.
If you have a chance, could you take a peek?
Thanks,

The culprit is the menu include:
http://epicroadtrips.us/2009/sept/ca/w1navigation.txt
I tried changing from ID to Class, but kept mucking it up and gave up.
I figgered the world wouldn't end if those were the only validation
problems I had.
Thanks to all.
Now, go over to NoteTab General and get my quick list questions answered! ;)

Greetings,
This site: http://www.deckerscreek.org/ will not display slide show
captions in IE 8.
Anyone have any insight as to why?
I had nothing to do with the site I am only trying to help get this
figured out for them so they can solve the problem.
Thanks,
-Mike
http://epicroadtrips.us/2009/sept/ca/d1/
No captions in IE 6 either.

Mike, this is not what you or they want to hear, but my standard answer
applies:
Non valid code, gratuitous use of scripting without decent noscript
fallback, placing of content into the background, which may be switched
off.
The CSS seems to validate alright, but with lots of warnings, a few of
which warrant looking into.
They harangue vistors to "update" to a browser of their choice, not the
way to make friends. My standard IE by the way is 5.5.
I can verify that IE 7 shows the slide show without captions (if I allow
background wallpaper and make them a trusted site).
Sorry, but unless and until they stop refusing to show the most basic
willingness to make a half decent site I won't look into any specifics.
Axel
I concur!!
I think this is going to get ugly.
Thanks,
-Mike

Thanks for checking this.
This is most unfortunate as their previous site was compatible with IE 6.0.

Oh dear. If I were to use IE, I would certainly use IE 8. It is the first
version of IE that has acceptable support of CSS.

I am a big dummy!!
I am using IE 7 and the captions will not display in that version.
I can only assume it displays properly in IE 8.
Sorry for the confusion!

Exactly, it is just about standards compliant. So when I need to check
whether a design of mine needs some extra adjustment for IE I use a
version with many problems. And that is just about all that IE is for
here anyway.
Axel
The captions are working in IE8, FF3 and Safari 4. It may be that the
javascript is using CSS that older versions of IE don't support correctly.

Nope. Works in IE6 also.

On this computer the OS is XP Home Edition, and Safari displays everything.
But in Windows IE 7.0 only the pictures, no captions to the left of the
image. In Safari they are to the left of the image. I know you have to add
work arounds to IE and I do that on my web pages as I want everyone to see
the page that goes to my URL. I use "CSS The Missing Manual" by David Sawyer
McFarland and Pogue Press O'Reilly. Helps when you want to add the
necessary work arounds.

So, if I understand correctly, it looks the problem is IE 7 and IE 6, 8
and Safari display the page correctly as does Fire Fox 3.5
There is a conditional statement in the slide show code:
<!--[if lte IE 7] >
< style type="text/css" media="all" >
@import
"modules/mod_fpslideshow/mod_fpslideshow/templates/FSD/template_css_ie.css";
< /style >
< ![endif]-->
So, it looks like there is some type of workaround being used, but it is
not doing the job.
I guess it is not the end of the world if this does not get fixed, but I
to see it stay that way.
Thanks to all.

Well, I don't know, but the documents are not the same. To start
with, the HTML one validated (Congratulations! ;-) ) while the PHP
one is a mess.
<http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?url=http%3A//epicroadtrips.us/2009\
/sept/ca/d1/index.php&warnings=yes&input=yes>
<http://www.htmlhelp.com/cgi-bin/validate.cgi?url=http%3A//epicroadtrips.us/2009\
/sept/ca/d1/index.html&warnings=yes&input=yes>
To start with, there is a PHP error in the source of the PHP page
Gosh, I've never seen THAT before.
<div id="wrapper"><!--
Warning: include(header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in
/hsphere/local/home/mbreidin/epicroadtrips.us/2009/sept/ca/d1/index.php

Warning: include(): Failed opening 'header.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php5ext/php/') in

on line 13
-->
So that header.php is never included. On the other hand its content
doesn't seem to be used in the HTML version either.
Look at the PHP page (in a browser). In the menu you have
Week 2
Week 3Week 2
Week 3
That can't be design. I think it comes from that you have commented
out a bunch of LIs, but the comment is screwed up because the closing
tag for LI right before it lacks the closing ">". It's at line 203 or
thereabout.
I don't know if the fact that the menu is broader on the PHP page
(because of the above) causes the difference you ask about, but it's
place to start anyway. There are other oddities too.
