Please tell me how to fix this. Check out the problem here:

Sorry, i forgot to precise it : you need the random image addon. Download it, unzip and put it into your 'addons' folder, it should work. I will write a note about it in README.TXT in next version (i will add description area for each photo too).

Thanks for your observation.

thanks for the info about the random image -- the page is working great now... but sometime in IE, the decription of the image is super imposed over the photo. Use IE and jump around my site, you might see it happen.

Yes, i know about this problem. It seems it doesn't happen all the time. Usually, just refresh the page and it becomes ok. I tried many things to avoid this problem, but i really don't know how to fix it. I can't see your site with IE, i'm using linux and firefox.

Version 0.5 :
- i added the description area in 'image_template.html' file with <IMAGES_NOTES_CLEAN>
- i added a link to homepage in photoblog's title
- modifications in 'style.css' (i was using the same name for a class and a id)

Oh! It's just on its beta version... I'm trying to solve all the problems and then announce it... [although you might have seen it in your statistics page when I was testing the links page ]


My main concern now:

1) the problem with IE!

and another one: I don't think this has to do with the template, I want to use the original ratio of the images in thumbnails, and that's a great problem for the thumbnail row of the image_template page for images that have height > width... [partly solved using "12cropimage mode"]

Ok ! Please tell me if you find a solution about IE problem, because i really don't know how to solve it (i'm a CSS newbie, that's the first time i use it) and i don't have IE at home, so it's hard to test it.Only solution i have is : download Firefox !

Your template is great... but the IE problem NEEDS to be fixed... As far as I can tell, it's the only problem... have you tried running it through a valadator? I was looking at the code last night, but I am also a CSS newbie. I'm working on it though -- hopefully one of the great skinners here will figure it out

i'm searching... but really i don't have any idea yet.

Someone who was looking at my website told me that a </div> was missing (one that close <div id="main">), but i checked, and it's ok (there is 12 <div> and 12 </div>). I tried to add one </div>, just to test, but i get the same problem.

Yes, i checked with W3C validator, it's valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

try using the web developer extension for firefox - using it to highlight block level elements should be useful in sorting out your problem with IE. for example, what is the use in surrounding an img tag with an undefined/unstyled div ? some of the code is just confusing
