Works Fine in Mozilla/Firefox, not in IE

  • Hi everyone, I have been reading and watching these boards for a couple months now and have finally dived in.
    My site is https://www.pozos.ca and I am using the help of the infamous Kubrick design to help me out, but things are not working too well in the Internet Explorer department.
    If you take a look in Firefox you can see how it is intended to look, then if you look in IE its not doing to well. Any idea’s, tips, tricks, hints would be greatly appreciated,
    Regards,

  • Your site looks fine with my FF as well with my MSIE, however, your problem might result from the lack of MSIE’s adequate CSS2 support (max-width for example).

    Hmm… it seems your page doesn’t validate (no alt tags in the img refs; PLEASE fix it so that those with text readers can view your site) but nothing that should break the site.
    Here are a couple possible problems I can see in your style.css:
    1. Mixing em and px is dangerous.
    2. “Float” elements are deadly. IE doesn’t handle those as the CSS spec says it should. Use absolute positioning instead, if possible.

    Alright thanks for the ideas ??

    “Float” elements are deadly. IE doesn’t handle those as the CSS spec says it should. Use absolute positioning instead, if possible.
    @ anon : This type of generalised sweeping statement is extremely unhelpful.
    You say use position absolute wherever possible. That is completely meaningless
    without a lot more context and will really confuse new CSS users. And float elements are certainly not deadly at all. What possible justification have you available for such an assertion ?

    You could also try Dean Edwards’ IE7 (https://www.dean.edwards.name/IE7/). Although not perfect (after all, it is an alpha), it corrects a lot of IE’s CSS2-noncompliant behavior, including the lack of support for max-width. It’s supposed to work on versions of IE (Windows only, I believe) back to 5.0.
