Internet Explorer problems again

I had a similar problem with IE once I’d updated to 5.2

Menus in one of my sites (using phplayersmenu) wouldn’t show submenus in IE only.

Eventually found that by setting the IE compatibility setting to Normal (from IE6/7) fixed it

Just trying to bump this one up to see if anyone has any thoughts as I’m stumped.

Following on from Paul’s suggestion of content DIV’s being the same width as the container, I’ve now reduced all inline’s on all pages, but still no luck in IE I’m afraid. BTW, I’m working on someone getting a better logo to me.

It’s getting to the point where I just don’t know what to do next….roll on finishing time and Friday night in the pub! On 15 Aug 2008, at 13:24, Paul Bradforth wrote:

Apart from a hugely pixellated logo (shows up even on the small version at the top) I think your problem may be that the animation that loads on launch is exactly the same size as the table that contains it; Internet Explorer is notorious for not handling overflows well and often shoves things further down the page. Even though you have no padding on the table, I think it may just be enough to tip Internet Explorer over.

Joe, I’ve tried to keep everything inline where possible as non layered. The only page with layers is ‘VIEWS’ as this page just wouldn’t publish otherwise.

Looks like you have a lot of tables on the page still. Are all the items in the layout CSS or layers?

Hi Trev,

Looks like you have a lot of tables on the page still. Are all the items in the layout CSS or layers?

Thanks Paul, but even if you go to:

and any of the other off that page, the content below the line doesn’t show.

Ah. In that case, I’ll hand it smartly over to someone who knows what they’re talking about :-)

Internet Explorer problems again

Trevreav — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:19:18 -500

Hello everyone, could you please take a look at:

http://www.trevreav.co.uk/RUBYSWEB

and tell me what you see? It works fine on Safari, Firefox & Opera on the mac, and Safari on a pc, but in Internet Explorer, everything below the horizontal white line under the logo is gone.

Just a blank page apart from the header, but will sometimes show the menu down the left.

Once again, thanks in advance for any pointers.

Trev
