Urgent Help Pls: PHP website and mozilla firefox problem

happyguy · 12-11-2008, 04:17 AM

Please, I have a problem with Ezine articles regarding my article submissions and the links pointing back to my sites. According to them, "The pages linked to in your articles doe not display properly in Mozilla Firefox, and the ads are appearing 'over' the text of the page."

Please, what can i do to resolve this problem?

thanks

What's the URL? It's probably an HTML/CSS issue. Are you floating content blocks on the page?

Thanks gary for pointing out the unfortunate mistake. I am indeed very sorry for this omission. The site is

You may be able to fix the problem by simply choosing a different google ad width. Its currently 336 pixels. I don't remember what the next size down is, but I'd give it a try. Also, check the size of your ad1 CSS class. If its smaller than the 336px of the google add, you may want to change it to match whatever google ad size you pick.

hi happyguy (love your nick!)

I looked at your code and basically you need to change the width of all your Google ads

that is not hard to do:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript"><!-- 
google_ad_client = "pub-0255571885972545";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
google_ad_format = "336x280_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel =""; 
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "000080";
google_color_url = "575757";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script> 
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>

you just need to play with that and then it will look right...try 250 for the width and see what happens

Hi,

I checked in IE6 and FF3. Looks good from here.

Thanks,

John

gcornelisse · 12-11-2008, 03:01 PM

Looks good in IE7, Opera, Safari, and FF3 for me.

happyguy · 12-11-2008, 03:23 PM

I am very grateful for everyone's contribution. I will mail Ezinearticles now to let them know of the change and hopefully I will be allowed to start submitting articles again.

Once again, A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE.

P.S. I will inform you all of the response of Ezinearticles. Thanks

Your page is missing a crucial element at the very top and that is the doctype information which is extremely important.

You need to add the following code at the top of the page (paste it over the opening html tage).

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Good news! I have checked the link here:

...and confirmed it is displaying correctly. The ads are no longer
cutting of the text, and the full text can now be read.

once again, i thank you all for your help.
