Support » Themes and Templates » Can't find the error–Browser compatability with links

  • On my site page here here: http://bananerd.com/test/ugr/public_html/home/ and all of the links work fine except in IE8 and lower the sidebar links/the news category links at the bottom aren’t working. I have run it through http://www.walidator.com/

    Because it’s only the Category links, I’m led to believe the troublesome mark up is either in the sidebar code or my category display code. Despite walidator’s suggestions, I really can’t figure out what’s wrong with the code.

    This is the HomePage code

    <?php
    
    /**
    
     * Template Name: Home Page
    
     */
    
    get_header(); ?>
    
    <div class="clearfix">
    
      <div class="grid_8">
    
      	<div class="home-page-content">
    
    	  <?php the_content(); ?>
    
    	</div>
    
    	<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( '1st Home Area' ) ) : ?>
    
    	<!--Widgetized '1st Home Area' for the home page-->
    
          <?php endif; ?>
    
      </div>
    
      <div class="grid_4">
    
        <aside id="right-area">
    
          <div class="inner">
    
    	<?php if ( ! dynamic_sidebar( '2nd Home Area' ) ) : ?>
    
    	<!--Widgetized '2nd Home Area' for the home page-->
    
          <?php endif; ?>
    
          </div>
    
        </aside>
    
      </div>

    This is the category code

    <?php get_header(); ?>
    
    <div id="content" class="grid_8 <?php echo of_get_option('blog_sidebar_pos') ?>">
    
      <h1><?php printf( __( 'Category: %s' ), '<span>' . single_cat_title( '', false ) . '</span>' ); ?></h1>
    
      <?php echo category_description(); /* displays the category's description from the WordPress admin */ ?>
    
      <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    
        <article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class('post-holder'); ?>>
    
          <?php if(has_post_thumbnail()) {
    
    				echo '<figure class="featured-thumbnail"><span class="img-wrap"><a href="'; the_permalink(); echo '">';
    
    				echo the_post_thumbnail();
    
    				echo '</a></span></figure>';
    
    				}
    
    			?>
    
    <header class="entry-header">
    
              <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    
              <?php $post_meta = of_get_option('post_meta'); ?>
    
    					<?php if ($post_meta=='true' || $post_meta=='') { ?>
    
                <div class="post-meta">
    
                  <div class="fleft"><time datetime="<?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i'); ?>"><?php the_time('d-m-Y'); ?></time><?php the_author_posts_link() ?><?php comments_popup_link('0', '1', '%', 'comments-link', 'Comments are closed'); ?></div>
    
                </div><!--.post-meta-->
    
              <?php } ?>		
    
            </header>			
    
          <div class="post-content">
    
            <?php $post_excerpt = of_get_option('post_excerpt'); ?>
    
            <?php if ($post_excerpt=='true' || $post_excerpt=='') { ?>
    
              <div class="excerpt"><?php $excerpt = get_the_excerpt(); echo my_string_limit_words($excerpt,33);?></div>
    
            <?php } ?>
    
            <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" class="button"><?php _e('more', 'theme1571'); ?></a>
    
          </div>
    
        </article>
    
      <?php endwhile; else: ?>
    
        <div class="no-results">
    
        	<?php echo '<p><strong>' . __('There has been an error.', 'theme1571') . '</strong></p>'; ?>
    
          <p><?php _e('We apologize for any inconvenience, please', 'theme1571'); ?> <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/" title="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>"><?php _e('return to the home page', 'theme1571'); ?></a> <?php _e('or use the search form below.', 'theme1571'); ?></p>
    
          <?php get_search_form(); /* outputs the default WordPress search form */ ?>
    
        </div><!--no-results-->
    
      <?php endif; ?>
    
      <?php if ( $wp_query->max_num_pages > 1 ) : ?>
    
        <nav class="oldernewer">
    
          <div class="older">
    
            <?php next_posts_link( __('&laquo; Older Entries', 'theme1571')) ?>
    
          </div><!--.older-->
    
          <div class="newer">
    
            <?php previous_posts_link(__('Newer Entries &raquo;', 'theme1571')) ?>
    
          </div><!--.newer-->
    
        </nav><!--.oldernewer-->
    
      <?php endif; ?>
    
    </div><!--#content-->

    Any help is much appreciated!
