[SOLVED] Post truncated in IE, but okay in FF

rocoach1 · #1 Aug 3, 2009, 06:50 PM

Hi, I hope you can help me. What do I do to stop my posts from truncating in IE? I mainly use Firefox, and there I have no formatting problems, but things don't look so good in IE. An example is: http://athletesbooks.com/the-best-he...or-for-rowers/. Thanks.

Do you create your posts in word and copy and paste them? This causes IE much headaches while the other browsers handle it fine. It's the formating

No, not Word. I made tables in wordpress using fckeditor, then populated the tables from text in Notepad. It may be of significance that it truncates in IE at the end of the first table (of 3)?

You will need a

HTML Code:

<div class="clearfix>">.....</div>

around each of your tables. The tables are there in IE, it's just IE renders them on top of each other

Thanks J-Dad,

I tried that, but no change. It still gets cut-off at the same place in IE.

FWIW, here's a section of my source code for the post (affiliate ids XXXX'd).

Thanks for looking

Ian

<p> The Polar FS1 is an entry level Heart Rate Monitor which is perfect for those who want the training benefits of heart rate monitoring, without spending a fortune on features that will never be used. <br />
<br />
The Polar FS1 has a clear easy to read display which shows the time of day, heart rate, exercise time and average heart rate. Easy one-button use makes the Polar FS1 extremely easy to use.<br />
<br />
Polar FS1 Features:<br />
<br />
    * Wireless ECG accurate heart rate.<br />
    * Average heart rate of total exercise.<br />
    * Exercise Time.<br />
    * Heart rate (displayed as bpm)<br />
    * Visual and audible alarm in target zones.<br />
    * Manual target zone.<br />
    * Time of day.<br />
    * Stopwatch.<br />
    * Water resistant 50m.<br />
    * Polar T31 transmitter and elastic chest strap.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're looking to spend lots of money for lots of unneeded options then this is not the heart rate monitor for you.<br />
<br />SNIP <br />
<br />
The watch is ridiculously simple to operate as it has only a single button. The uncluttered display with extra large numbers makes reading the watch while erging or sculling very easy.<br />
<br />SNIP<br />
<br />
This watch is a great value way to compliment the information the erg gives us, it provides simple feedback when we're sculling or running.<br />
<br />
The only down side to this product SNIP or in a team boat.<br />
<br />
This is a very easy to use product, SNIP but with the Polar FS1 the price is most definitely right and you've got to ask yourself - do I really need more?</p>

<p>The Suunto T6C black wristop computer is more like a fully equipped sports laboratory. The watch will provide a comprehensive personalized physiological analysis on your PC. The screen/menu is digital, customizable and easy to use. The strap is made from soft textile. Displays Real time Training Effect and EPOC (excess postexercise oxygen consumption -  originally referred to as an oxygen debt). Displays Speed, distance and cycling cadence with optional PODs (Peripheral Observation Devices). Real-time heart rate monitor. Calorie monitor. Aside from these features, the T6C acts as a watch with dual time, date, alarm, stopwatch with lap times, interval and countdown timers<br />
<br />
The Suunto T6C SNIP enables you to meet your goals.<br />
<br />
The Suunto T6C provides sports laboratory accurate information on seven key body parameters including EPOC. By understanding how your body responds to exercise, you can better plan your own personal training program and, most importantly, monitor its effectiveness.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Suunto T6C is an invaluable tool SNIP is one of the most accurate and useful sports instruments currently on the market.<br />
<br />
The Suunto Team POD opens up a new way of controlling training in real-time. Coaches are now able to follow the heart rates and the percentage of maximum heart rates of all their athletes live on the screen during training - even in the rowing boat - and if needed, to adjust the training individually. The measured data is shown, analyzed and stored live. This helps ensure that every athlete is training at an optimal level and that an optimal team result can be achieved.<br />
<br />
The PODs expand the performance range of the Suunto T6C. With the Suunto GPS POD the crew can define the effectiveness of its rowing - for example how much energy the team has to use to obtain a certain speed. The GPS POD can be used to ensure that speeds and distances are accurately measured during important training sessions.<br />
<br />
Beside training on water the athletes can also run, erg and bike with the Suunto T6C. During these activities the peripheral devices from Suunto (Foot and Bike Pods) offer more possibilities for training analysis. The Bike POD expands the Suunto T6C to a complete wireless bike computer, and the Foot POD works accurately for every runner, independently without a GPS receiver.</p>
