# IE behavior problems. Please help

 * Can’t solve display problems we’re having on IE 6 and IE 7. In both versions,
   IE has added a bunch of white space in the header to the left and top of the 
   logo. It should display the way it does in Firefox or Safari.
 * But IE7 problems are worse, with the photo in the header not loading at all, 
   and the banner across the top not loading all the way across.
 * Can anyone help with this?? Please take a look at [http://alanrinzler.com/blog](http://alanrinzler.com/blog)
 * Thanks so much

 * You need to [validate and fix your code](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Falanrinzler.com%2Fblog%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0)(
   it has errors that can cause display problems). Fix errors like unclosed div 
   tags first.

 * Hi Iridiax, and thanks for your reply.
 * I have not dealt with code — I hired someone to set up for me and she’s unavailable
   now. So I’m on my own.
 * I went to the link you provided. Can you help me understand what to do here? 
   For example, in line #58, it indicates a div tag problem. I’ve located the spot
   in my theme editor (custom theme). Here it is:
 * <div id=”flashcontent”>
    This text is replaced by the Flash movie. </div>
 * <script type=”text/javascript”>
    var so = new SWFObject(“[http://www.alanrinzler.com/movies/contact_nav.swf&#8221](http://www.alanrinzler.com/movies/contact_nav.swf&#8221);,“
   mymovie”, “725”, “95”, “7”, “#ffffff”); so.write(“flashcontent”); </script></
   td></tr></table> <!–END SWF FILE EMBED–>
 * </div>
 * So can you tell me exactly what to do here, based on the validator’s findings?
   I’m hoping I’ll be able to figure out the rest after that.
 * Thanks again for helping!

 * Can anyone tell me where to correct the div error in the above code? I’m brand
   new at this, and hope that someone knowledgeable will be kind enough to point
   the way.
 * Thank you

 * An end tag for a div was omitted, so add another `</div>`:
 * Change this:
    `</script></td></tr></table>`
 * Into this:
    `</script></div></td></tr></table>`
 * (Updated to make it more specific)
