IE Support for WP-Andreas09

I’m not familiar with this theme, but I’ve troubleshot enough for IE to tell you that with IE 1 + 1 = 2.01 when it comes to pixel widths (maybe not EXACTLY that but IE always needs more room for everything. It’s the broken browser.) Oh, and you didn’t post an image in a post that was too big for the post column, did you?

I did look at the site you’re linked to and it’s fine in both FF and IE at 1024 x 768, unless you’re talking about another site.

My suggestion is to narrow widths in the stuff in the columns, mostly on padding and margins. Do a bit at a time, and keep testing in IE. I’d also validate the theme and make sure there’s nothing going on there, though Andreas’s stuff is usually known to be pretty clean, so I doubt it’s that.

If stuff is looking crappo in the other browsers after you’ve made it look good in IE, there is another way– feed IE a special stylesheet via conditional comments and make those width adjustments there only for IE using the * html hack and make sure you hide the IE adjustments from IE Mac, which is the only IE that almost works.

Xhtml/css would be SO easy if most of the world didn’t use the broken browser . . .

Can’t help you there, if we can’t see the theme in action. I’ve been using Wp-Andreas09 for a while now and only using IE, without any problems.
Once I had a similar problem, this had to do with a image that was to large (pasted in a side-bar).

Sorry about not posting a link earlier. Here’s what my site look like with Andreas09. None of the images appear to be too wide for the sidebars:

I even deleted the modified image I had placed in the theme, and I still get the desheveled layout. Firefox still shows the site perfectly, but it’s IE that’s giving me the problem. I would usually just leave it as IE’s problem, but I know most of the people reading my site are using IE.

So after checking across platforms (smacking myself for not doing it sooner) it appears the wp-andreas09 css IS clean for both Firefox and IE as long as you’re on a Windows machine. The css problems came from IE for Mac, in which the columns were just completely akimble. Odd for sure, but still a problem I’d like to remedy, unless there are few enough IE users for Mac that it won’t be a problem.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how to get my banner in the center instead of hanging out there please let me know ?? I’m toying around with the idea of just increasing the margin on the lefthand side, but I would love for the banner to remain in the center regardless of screen resolution as I know setting the margin will affect different user’s view of the site ??

You’ll need this to feed stuff to IEMac so that other browsers don’t see it:

Hi,

I really like Andreas 3 column theme and have started using it in my work blog.
Ive encountered a lot of problems and trying to fix them one by one.
However, Im not able to get my header image to show. It did earlier, But I tried uploading an image and the page went crazy. So I had to delete everything and upload it again. Now the header doesnt show.
Can anyone help?

Also one common problem. When I make a change from WordPress Presentation ‘Theme Editor’ and go back to the IE or Mozilla browser to refresh the content, it doesn’t show the changes. I have to go back to theme, switch to another theme and them switch back to Andreas theme to see the change. This is strange.. But any solution?
