CSS + IE + Domain Forwarding

by **echoesofury** on Tue Jul 25, 2006 6:35 pm

Alright, I created a layout for a page I am working on. Basically, the page looks fine when viewed directly from the IP address of the server I'm using in both IE and Firefox.

However, when I view the page in IE using the domain I registered, it turns into garbly gook.

Here's the URL so you can see what I mean:
http://www.sans-seraphrpg.com

The div on the left side of the screen repeats on top of itself over and over, making it completely unreadable. It only does this when viewed from the domain name. If you view it in Firefox you can see what the page should look like.

Not that this helps but why are you using a strict doctype on a frameset?

You should be using the frameset doctype.

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

Infact why are you using frames at all? Frames suck!

Where are you seeing frames?

Here's what my code should look like:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>sans seraph + v.01</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<noscript>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css">
</noscript>

</head>
<body>
<div id="top">
<h1>sans seraph...</h1>
<p class="header"><a href="index.html">index</a> + <a href="world.html">about</a> + <a href="rules.html">rules</a> + <a href="creation.html">creation</a> + <a href="forum.html">forum</a> + <a href="credits.html">credits</a> + <a href="links.html">links</a></p>
</div>

<div id="div">
<h2>Credits</h2>
<p>The pixel star brush used on the layout image can be found at <a href="http://www.xshock.de/" target="_blank">xshock</a>.</p>
<p>The feather brushes used in the layout can be found at <a href="http://debi-chiru.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">debi-chiru.deviantart.com</a>.
<p>The photograph used as a template for creating the lineart for this page can be found at <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/" target="_blank">sxc.hu</a>.

</div>
<div id="bot"><p class="footer">Â© Kara Medema 2006</p></div>
</body>
</html>

Could the re-direct be...adding frames? Or something?

No mate.

Code: Select all: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <title>www.sans-seraphrpg.com</title> </head> <frameset rows="100%,*" border="0"> <frame src="http://66.72.53.77:2505/" frameborder="0" /> <frame frameborder="0" noresize /> </frameset>    </html>

Is what is the soure code says when you right click the page in Firefox or IE.

Then inside that frame is the code you have just posted.

Thing is it only has one frame anyways, I dont know what your doing but I have never seen anything like it.

What server have you put the site on?

And who set it up?

Yeah, after you said that I looked and saw that too.

It has to be something with my hosting because I didn't do that myself.

My site is hosted on a friend's server. I registered a domain through Godaddy.com and he told me to just use the domain forwarding thing. It must have added that code O.o

I figured out it was the 'Domain Masking' option that was making it do that. They just paste your page inside a frame so it'll still show the URL that you want. I disabled that and now it just shows the IP when I go to it, but the original problem is fixed.

Gonna ask my friend if I can not use that crappy redirect.
