Site pushes to the right on loading

**Arez20469** · 06-10-2007, 02:10 PM

I have the site looking exactly as i want it, but the loading is really annoying (for Firefox). I included the whole thing in an echo for a marquee i wanted in the layout at the lower portion. If I just use <?php include('marquee.php'); echo $newsticker; ?> instead of adding the entire thing as a echo it makes it load even worse!! what can i do to stop this... www.elitenation.org is my site

layout.php is this:

Code:

<?php
include('config.php');
include('marquee.php');

echo "

what do you mean when you say pushes to the right in Firefox? I'm on a Mac with Firefox and it looks to be loading in the center to me.

**FFEMTcJ** · 06-11-2007, 12:01 PM

It looks fine to me. Everything loads center

**HighVoltage123** · 06-12-2007, 06:02 AM

yeah... it looks fine with Firefox and IE7...

**Arez20469** · 06-12-2007, 12:48 PM

Well, what I mean is, while the page is loading the table breaks @ the right of the page. I wanted everything to load neatly inside the box and not have anything break... But as is, everytime someone loads a page, it will break at the right for a short time which will be really annoying (in FireFox, im using 2.0.0.4)

**aithne** · 06-14-2007, 11:26 AM

Can you try and get a screen shot of what you are talking about? I am watching your site closely as it loads and not seeing anything breaking to the right.

**HighVoltage123** · 06-15-2007, 10:05 AM

that's odd - only the index page looks good and every other page I try to open is completely messed up in FF in IE7 everything looks great even when is loading...
