This is in Firefox 1.0.8, the latest release on Kubuntu.

Its like one of those non-standard compliant IE only sites.

Actually, that is thelinuxlink.net, not tllts.info.

Anyway, I'm not sure what that is happening, have to look at the code. It displays fine in 1.5.0.3 and all other versions of FF and Konqueror I have tested it in.

Once again, Kubuntu screwed up, oh well, better luck next release!

Hmmm this is interesting. I didn't think it was a distro specific problem, but trying here at work on SuSe in Firefox (1.0.8 ) and Opera (8.54) displays with the image up in the top right hand corner.

Hmm did I do a manual update of Firefox ?? Don't think I did. Anyway, here comes Dapper !!!!

PS I fixed the URL in the title Dan

FWIW it looks fine on 1.5 on dapper. So far, dapper appears to be much better than either hoary or breezy - several nagging issues seem to have been fixed.

It has to do with font size.
If the line that reads:
Your Source for GNU/Linux Web-Radio & Podcasts!
Goes past about the 1/2 way point on the page, the graphic drops to the next line. That line seems to have word-wrap turned off.

Try

Code: Select all

<img alt="world dominating penguin"
 src="images/world_penguin_grad_lbolt.png"
 style="width: 307px; height: 162px; float: right; margin-left: -307px;" />

The iss is defintely a YAKC (yet another kubuntu customization).

It looks fine on my laptop under Ubuntu which I just upgraded to Dapper Drake.

Kubuntu Dapper here

Seriously, it's just the font size; if I drop my (already large due to my high res monitor) font size, it looks right.

Good catch. That should really be a graphic as well.

Woo, I saw you tried the code snip already!
I should have mentioned, the painting of the page happens in the same order as the html source, unless you use z buffers.
Now the text clips... to fix; move the img tage to after the div class header like this:

Code: Select all

<div class="bodywrapper">
 <div class="header">
  <img alt="world dominating penguin" <!-- move it to here -->
   src="images/world_penguin_grad_lbolt.png"
   style="width: 307px; height: 162px; float:right; margin-left: -307px;" />
  <div style="float: left;"><img style="width: 255px; height: 57px;"
   alt="The Linux Link" src="images/linux_link_logo2.png" />
  <h3 style="padding-left: 2em; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Your
Source for GNU/Linux Web-Radio & Podcasts!</h3>
 </div>
</div>

Now the Text should print on top of the img.

I'll test this when I get home.
