I’m making a website with some floating. It works perfectly in Firefox and Safari, but not in Internet Explorer.
Can someone please help me with this?
Code:

2) Also, you have no character encoding declared. You need that for it to validate, which is always a good thing to do. Add a standard UTF-8 character encoding by adding "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>" to the <head> section of your page.
3) Your <img> tag does not comply with xhtml standards as you’ve declared the code to be at the top of your header. It needs a closing forward slash, ie <img src="http://…." alt="something" />
4) Also, your <head> parent tag is not finished. You need a <title> element for it to validate.
5) I should also point out that "overflow-y" doesn’t exist in css 2.1, it does in css 3 though. As css 3 hasn’t been released by the w3c, it won’t validate unless you take that out.
6) I assume you included the css in the xhtml for the purpose of this post, but make sure you include it in a separate file and link it in the head.
I would suggest double checking your urls at the W3C validation service’s website: http://validator.w3.org/
Here’s the code:

There’s no point in having a strict doctype if you don’t adhere to it. Catching issues at the beginning is a lot easier than going back through hundreds of lines of code/css later.
