Theme Problem in IE 6, 7, and 8 but not in Firefox,Safari or Chrome

Posted Tue, 11/18/2008 - 00:19 by Dellinger

Hi All,

I'm hoping someone can help me with my website http://shoemadam.com.

It displays fine in Firefox, Safari and Chrome but totally implodes on Internet Explorer?

I got the theme from Roople Theme (http://roopletheme.com) and have used it on other sites without a problem.

Any 'Themer' experts have any quick fixes?

IE 6 and 7 FIXED!

by Dellinger - 11/18/2008 - 14:18

Thanks for that site claire, that has some good info. Hopefully it will help me make some fixes I didn't get to.

Luckily I was able to get some help on the Drupal forum. Apparently I had some bad sytax in my html code. It was in the code I use to call up the images and I had repeated the error over and over because I was copying and pasting the code then changing the image location url but unknowingly repeating the same error over and over.

Basically "dman" ran the site through a site validator and it pointed out the errors. I fixed enough of them to get it to work in IE :)

Here is a link to the thread that help me out: http://drupal.org/node/335639

IE bugs

IE is notorious for CSS bugs, especially in versions 6 and below. I'm not an expert themer (barely a novice at this point!) by any means, but I know that getting CSS to work on IE can be a nightmare.

A lot of IE bugs can be fixed with simple "hacks" that make no logical sense but fix the problem. Here's a list of bugs and fixes for IE:
