Assuming a CSS problem

[seenjo11]

Hello. I am not a coder by any stretch. Trying to do some simple fixes on the company website. Below are link to the actual page and my back-up. On actual page the Safety bullet returns an ‘Under Construction’ banner. On my back-up page I added my text under the Safety bullet and broke the ‘Mission’ banner.

I can’t see anything wrong in the code. Did I foul the .css sheet somehow? Need help as I still need to do the Advanced Instrumentation bullet as well.

Thanks in advance.

It's a bit difficult to unpick all the <div>s and <ul>s on that page, but I think that you're missing a [tt]</ul>[/tt] between the two [tt]</div>[/tt]s on line 232.

It'd be a lot easier to pick out problems if you got your page to validate.

Chris!! Thanks - that was it! I don't know the people who did the page(s) for our site and I don't know what they used. It does seem kinda sloppy yes?

Validate? Is that the W3C service provided via Tierra.Net for their hosted sites? I did that and it returned 14 errors and 3 warnings just for that page. I just added some text so I don't know where the errors are coming from. They seem to be related to syntax.

Anyway - thanks again.

Just use this validator and fix the errors ONE at a time from the top down. Don't try to fix other errors as often errors have a cascading effect meaning that you can often fix the first error and many other errors disappear.
