IE Issues?

Sep 20, 2007 21:43

Hi, all. I apologize in advance if this isn't the kind of thing you guys can help me with! But I'm still really new at LJ layouts, and as much CSS experience as I've got under my belt, I'm really stumped by the way my otherwise functional layout renders in IE (6 ( Read more... )

Why not just disable the nav strip in the community settings?
It looks like a jumbled mess in IE7, too. I think it might have something to do with all the height: 100% settings, which probably aren't necessary.

I did, initially, but a lot of people have that turned on themselves, and there's no way to control what they're seeing. (And more importantly, if they want the navstrip, I really shouldn't disable it on them if I can avoid it.)

You're right, the height: 100%; was the problem. Unfortunately at least one of them was necessary. XD But I'll see if I can figure out which one that is. Thanks!

Okay, that solved one problem; but there are still others.

1.) The page isn't scrolling -- no scrollbar, even though there's clearly enough text to merit one.

2.) The div with the images in it will appear when it's coded with "position: relative", but not with "position: absolute". ???

I have no idea which of your accounts to respond to, so I'm going with the original poster...

* {
overflow: visible !important;
font-family: verdana;
}I don't know what you're trying to do here, but I would remove this entirely. You can put the font declaration in body{}, and overflow: visible is going to prevent scrollbars, not show them. [Reference link]
From the same site [link] IE6 does not support position: fixed. Note that for compatibility purposes, Expressive always uses "strict" or "standards" mode.
