fed up of damaged cached pages

give your suggestions

I am fed up of the yahoo cached page results.
Some of the sites I have been working with especially, CSS Based are showing damaged Cached pages!

Horizoned navigation menus were shown as 1 big broken link in the cache versions. I fixed that problem with breaking between the links with a character. 's did well.

But also other regular <a href... links are sometimes shown broken as well
showing cached with more anchor text than they should have.

hi buddy
Run the pages through http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html as you may have some code errors which need immediate attention.

I dont think its a validation problem.
It happend for validated and not validated sites.
In a validated site it even once showed a regular text link inside an article broken!
In the navigation menu, when two links are one after another in the source code, instead of showing </a><.. in the cached version, It shows: &lt;/a&gt;&lt;
thus, breaking all the links, making it one big unreadable link.
if you search for the site's name or the site's main keyword, you get too different cachced results.

Use a header checker like WebBug to make sure that the pages are served with the MIME type of: text/html. What you describe can occur when the pages are served as text/plain. IE incorrectly compensates for that but other browsers, and bots, often do not.
