Need Help On My Tb Page

[+elgecko]

I use Firefox as my browser.

 

Can someone help me to correct this problem. I have tried a few different html codes that I know and can not fix it.

When looking at the pages with Firefox eveything is fine, but if you use Internt Exploder, the map graphic covers part of my writing and the picture of my TB.

 

Look at these links in IE:

http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=142184

 

http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=143040

 

http://www.geocaching.com/track/details.aspx?id=136122

 

Is there a way to correct this to be viewable correctly in IE?

 

I have thought of a way, kind of a pain that would work. I save the map, do some Photoshop work and make 1 picture of both the map and my TB together. But each time my TB visits a new state there would be a bit of work involved each time to update it.

I tried all three in IE and they worked fine for me.

elgecko,

You could post the bug picture somewhere else, and link to it, say maybe post it on your own webpage and add a link just like you do with the map. This way you could manipulate the field where you add in the map.

 

You could also resize the map. Try this code:

 

<img src="BUGIMAGENAME" width=400 height=300>

 

I am just guessing on the width and height, but you can plan with the pixel sizes. Hope this helpls.

You don't even have to post it anywhere else -- just edit your bug page so that the bug picture is no longer the "default image" (make it so that there is no default image at all). But leave it uploaded to the page, and then edit the page to include

<img src="http://img.Groundspeak.com/track/7cafbbdf-9326-4eb8-b9ec-089f430b7b05.jpg"></img> before the image of the map.

After your text, try puting in about 20 of these <br> so that your map shows up lower on the page. Keep adding <br> untill it's low enough.

 

Like this:

This just seemed like a good TB that could get to the hard to reach caches.

{Then insert your map code here}

 

(Edited after testing this out. It worked for me.)

501_Gang,

Thanks for the info.

I was not placing enough of the <br> to make a viewable difference when I tried it. Using 10-15 or so made the difference I was looking for.

I had also tried <p>, but might not have been using enough of them either to see a visible difference.

Thanks

the <p> code does not work like <br> when used consecutively. <p> only creates enough space for a new paragraph, and will not add extra space if used again. i always just use <br> line breaks, since its easier to manipulate.

Another thing you could try would be to dump your photo, and place a table on your page similar to the one on this bug. You could then place the picture in that table along with your map anywhere you want to.

The <p> code does work and gives a bigger gap but you need to insert a non-blanking space for each paragraph.

 

Use this code and you will not have to use as many <br>.
