Does not work in IE by absorbation on 10-01-2005 at 11:33 AM

I'm doing a web design and i cant get the dam page to work in IE, IE messes up styles all the time and sometimes displays nothing so could someone tell me what's wrong with my sorce :)

thanks :)

My crappy design
It needs work i know but it's useless without working in IE :)

Thanks to anyone that helps.

Theres a problem with you rollover code, removing the <script...> tag shows the page in IE.

maybe table cellpadding="0"?
I don't know for sure, I rarely use tables.


RE: Does not work in IE by absorbation on 10-01-2005 at 03:41 PM

lol fixed i added something new the the stylesheet

div.menu {
    height: 25px;
    width: 770px;
    overflow: auto;
    padding: 0px;
}

and added this into the table causing the problem :)

<div class="menu">

the content e.g links

</div>

and it worked great :P but there are some more things in ie that's annyoing me :(


RE: Does not work in IE by hmaster on 10-01-2005 at 03:43 PM

the problem was that the menu code read
.menu {
    background: url(images/menu.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    border: 0px #a0d406 solid;
    vertical-align: top;
    text-align: center;
    width: 172px;
    padding: 5px;
}

the width specified is too small so its meant to read

.menu {
    background: url(images/menu.gif);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    border: 0px #a0d406 solid;
    vertical-align: top;
    text-align: center;
    width: auto;
    padding: 5px;
}

a specific width wouldve worked too, what else is not working?

also to make css things only work in IE prepend a * to it eg


width:30px; (will get read by other browsers)
*width:31px; (IE only)

thanks, i'm failry new to css but i'm trying to always use it :) it's not really that hard

hum i'm going to test resolutions now before i ask shrbr for something then i can start adding content, however i'll probably find something else along the way :(

edit: thanks dt :)

i still recomend you to use wysiwyg programs :)


RE: Does not work in IE by hmaster on 10-01-2005 at 04:04 PM

I checked your css and its more or less a full css file and can easily make the page work with divs.

Heres a quick thing I just did, working in both IE and FF :)
