Another IE Problem
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    I just looked at my new template in IE for the first time, and the sidebar was way down at the bottom. How can I fix this?

    Never mind. I think I figured it out.

    I know this is a common problem, but it seems in Internet Explorer my sidebar is also pushed to the bottom of the site. I tried to remove all the images that may have been too wide for the sidebar, but now I'm stuck. Any ideas? I appreciate the help in advance!

    yeah, im still confused on this subject too. I was notified that mine does the same on ie but i dont see it. I did do some shifting around but am not sure if it is fixed yet.

    IE is a very fickle browser, it seems, and if you piss it off it will throw off your entire page.

    Weird, Kyle, usually it's the images.

    Our site has larger text sizes in ie and the side bar is (slightly) out of sync. I did find when I added too many emty page break spaces in our side bar, the whole thing jumped down in ie, maybe that's the problem?

    hm ok thanks, casey. I'll check that out. it's such an inexact science that i've just been randomly removing features and seeing what happens... brings me back to gradeschool trial and error. but i suppose i have a relatively gradeschool understanding of web development.

    Gah! I just looked at myself in IE again, and there are still errors. I really don't have time to mess with it, but oh well.

    Clearly we just need to get everyone to start using firefox :P
  • diyrockstar // jeffdiyrockstar // jeff
    Most definately.
  • bethannebethanne
    absolutely! :)

    I need to get one of those Firefox buttons for me site!!
  • supergurgsupergurg
    do people still use IE?! in Australia most people have migrated to Firefox now :)
  • mike green lightsmike green lights
    yeh a firefox button is a great idea

    I imagine most people still use Internet Explorer in Australia too . . . you're just hanging out with smarter people. It's easy to start thinking that everyone uses firefox until you check the 'ol counter.

    Any site using any of those options would annoy the hell out of me I think, and I'm a Firefox user.

    That said, IE7 really does seem pretty good now they have taken in the best parts of Firefox..

    Ugh, that explorer destroyer option is awful. I'm a huge firefox fan, but that psuedo-totalitarian attitude doesn't mesh very well with the communal spirit of open-source.

    That said, I'll try to remember about it for next April Fools.

    I hate IE with a passion. It never fails to screw up my site. I'm thinking about using that Kill Bill's Browser one, thats pretty funny. I don't like the idea of a script telling all my IE users to switch though.
