    I’m working with / tweaking equix 1.1 , which has a hack to accomodate IE with a different css file. I’ve barely edited anything.

    Here’s the rub. FF (of course) looks just fine. With IE, at the top of the page the post content is alligned correctly and looks right. But as I scroll down, the further i go, the more the post content slides leftward and get’s cropped by margins. The further I scroll to the bottome, the more the content gets cropped with each post. Cropping includes everything –from title down to time & date, etc.

    Any thoughts? I am working on removing the java hack to fix this alltogether. But can’t remove it for good yet since removing the java code and switching CSS seems to disable IE from seeing the site all together, even though viewing IE source shows that its there. (weird) That said, I need to resolve that and in the meantime cannot have the site be down to IE users.

    HELP! –thx

  • Correction: The problem begins higher. The first “clue” is the slight off of the underline under the following:

    <div class="post"><!-- Post Div-->
    <h2 id="post-19">
    <a href="https://216.69.182.149/2005/04/18/the-monday-feed/" rel="bookmark">The Monday Feed</a>
    </h2><div class="entry">
    Here is our weekly Monday coffee kick to help...

    There are a lot of tabs and spaces in the code that make this very messy to read through and since they are inside of paragraph codes and stuff… I’m not sure if they might be causing a little bit of problem, but this visually appears to be your problem.

    I’ve been tracking the flow of the divs, and those seem to be okay, even though I’m really tired and may have missed something.

    I got to give it up now as it is over an hour past beddie-bye time, but I think if you slowly go through it, something will suddenly jump out, or someone will look and say “WOW! That’s so obvious. Lorelle must be blind!” and your problem will be solved.

    Validating the code is just the beginning. For example, if you have all the tags closed and they are all “there”, it will validate but look like hell. There is something not right here and I’m not sure where it is. I’ll leave it to those who are more awake to figure it out, but you have a start.

    Later: Okay, I’m like a dog with a sock. It starts even higher. I’m not even sure the problem is in the post area but might be up in the header. In MSIE, the first shift happens after the very first blockquote. It’s really subtle, and you have another shift in the end of the last sentence when it wraps around for the last line. Very odd. I’ll poke until I fall down, but please, someone more awake fix this poor soul!

    I’m heading to bed too. But I found this does this make sense to anyone?

    The problem seems identical to mine.

    I tried putting it into both css files, but neither worked. Of course, I am a noob, and likely botched it. Can someone show me where something liket this is supposed to go??

    This is covered in another thread, but the solution was found to a problem noted that is still open in this thread. I’m posting so its found if someone searches the same problem and this thread gets clicked.
    *********
    Here is the “Hack to Rule Them All” …Add to the main .css.

    blockquote {
    background-color: #F7F7F7;
    border-left : 5px solid #94A6BD;
    border-bottom : 5px solid #94A6BD;
    padding: 10px 20px;
    }

    Notice the border-bottom description. That’s the new line that was added. All these headaches and THAT was it. Oh, beloved IE.

    And thanks for posting the solution both threads – hopefully will help someone else some day!

    I’m sorry i was not here to give you a hand on the first place i’ve been really busy this week.

    Anyway, great! after reading the whole thread i see you have fixed it all by yourself. It is true that IE is a really headache but there will be always a fix for it’s issues.

    Regarding the “hack” i’ve implemented in equiX, the ‘style_ie.css’ is only used (as an addition to the main one) when you acces the site from IE. So even if you delete the whole file it will still work. I’ve used hust to make the whole theme work teh same way in IE.

    It’s amazing all the support you’ve received… i love the wp_community.

    TIP: There was a fix for this issue in this thread here https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic.php?id=27447#post-154596 ??

    I have done the odd template in my time and a couple of WP users are using them. One. I have never used a hack of any description. And I have never served different CSS to different browsers. It quite simply is not necessary. We got started Ok until you put back in the JS call to the IE stylesheet. Nor incidentally have I ever encountered this left motion. To be very blunt. I would ditch the theme. Its too much trouble. Fit Gemini and change the colors.

    Interesting. I have on a testbed the Gemini default and 2 themes based on it: my own Dark Maple and Anthurium/Arthurium. The latter one has the “left motion” after a blockquote… the others don’t.

    Well you have borked it then ?? Or Joni did. ??

    Joni ??
    mine is fine!
