Can you check this website for me?

[technoextreme]

Blarrggg.... I feel really disgusted about asking this but I've been having problems with viewing my blog. Can someone please tell me if the backgrounds show up?

OK I went there and all I saw was a bunch of Gerbils in latex and leather. Yep, the wallpaper looks great!

Were they supposed to be hamsters?



Seriously I don't see much for background at all. I'm using FF 3.0.12

There is nothing on that website that isn't even close to being a hamster. Can you post a link to what you are seeing? I think the problem is that you aren't seeing the background which results in you only seeing the hamsters???? Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it if not for the confusing case of pareadelia. If you are staring at the right website *crosses fingers* then you are looking at jellyfish. Real live unedited jellyfish. Also try this link if the above didn't work:

Is it just a brand new domain issue?

I can see a photo of jellyfish (very pretty, BTW) but there is no back ground. It's just white.

Dam it. Grrr.... I actually should have this thread moved into the computer section. No matter what I do I can't get it to display incorrectly on my computer. It isn't a browser issue because IE and Firefox display the same thing on my end. Also, thanks for the complement about my picture.

When I clicked that link, I got an animation of a cartoon nun doing something unspeakable with a hockey stick. The text all seemed to be about Time Cubes and white power. Did you do a link swap with the Fox News website?

I viewed the site. There was a photo of a vat of glow-in-the-dark breast implants, and another photo of a man being kept in a cage and tortured with lightning.

I felt like I was going to throw up. It was just sick.

Is there anything that you can read? :p

[SezMe]

Yeah: "TragicMonkey sucks Poisoned Waffles" in 72 point type.

I was hoping for porn and got a blog.

Is it screwed up or do the backgrounds work for you?

No background.

Asides from the jellyfish group sex porn picture, I get a white background with light-colored diagonal stripes from bottom left to top right. However, the background only appears with IE 6, but not with Firefox 3.

Ahhhh.... What the hell is going on? Im entirely serious. Is it just because the domain is less than a day old.

[empeake]

Here are some screen captures. Firefox 3 is on the left, IE6 is on the right. I hope this helps in some way.

(You have to see the larger versions to notice the differences.)

[Gilmar]

No background or headers in IE8, Firefox 3.5.1, or Opera 9.64. (I don't see the two blue headers in empeake's examples, maybe I have javascript off?)

[moopet]

It has a slightly stripey background. I didn't notice it at first. Maybe you just fixed it while I was looking?

[Little 10 Toes]

Referring to the screenshots, in IE7, I do not see any banners. The text that is in white, is still white. The only way I know that it's there is for me to highlight the top of the page.

[Aerik]

It could because your stylesheet starts with /* which is never closed, nullifying all your CSS.

[Aerik]

Let me clarify. In your <style> tag, in all CSS, every thing between a /* and a */ is a comment, and does not cause any styling to be rendered. You have /* all over the place in your style. None of that code is being implemented.

You may be under the impression that like in Javascript, the comment invokation only applies to the line that it appears in. This is in correct.


/* Everything

Within this block

is a comment that does not implemented as code

regardless of the fact

that there are line breaks.

*/

now { this is: code; }


A good text editor like Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net) will help you fix your code as it'll turn your comments green so you can see where you're screwing it up. or if you want, I could post the corrected comments here...

Also, all that <variable crap does NOT belong in CSS. I don't know where you should put it, but that place is not the <style> element.

Here's your corrected code



<style id='page-skin-1' type='text/css'><!--

#outer-wrapper {


Everything is perfectly fine from there.

Ditto for me. Here's a screen capture:

I might have. The problem is that no matter what I do I can't replicate the problems people see in either of my browsers. I shall go read the help files again.
