Problems with default template in IE (yet again)

    Hi guys,

    Sorry if this is a repeat but I have been working on this for hours, and have spent a good 30 minutes searching for a solution, trying everything possible and making no progress whatsoever

    I am running a modified version of the default kubrick here and it looks absolutely perfect in Firefox. I’ve been running it like that since 1.5 release but I have only just been informed that it doesn’t work in IE

    As mentioned I’ve tried everything, I even tried reinstalling the entire kit from scratch and it still appeared the same without modifications (which is weird because other default installs work). If someone could figure this out I’d be forever grateful, or at least point me in the right direction

    Thanks guys!

    Well, I don’t know if anyone else has answered you in your other postings, but I took a look. This is very strange. You say you modified Kubrick. I’d just copy over the original Kubrick files to the Theme folder (do not install things again as that it time consuming and messing. Just the theme will do.) and try it without modifications.

    The three pictures of a sunset you have near the bottom of the page are full size in MSIE and so you might be doing something there that is causing part of your problems.

    Do you have HTML in your posts? Or is it just text?

    MSIE interprets CSS differently from other browers, good and bad, and this is a layout thing I’ve not seen before between the two different browers. Wish I could help more but this is the best I got right now.

    Modify very carefully and check both browser versions after each step to make sure they hold.

    Lorelle is right here.

    I’ve downloaded the full page and played in Ie and if iremove the 3.jpg from the page it lays out ok

    However the other images appear too large too.

    The problem is IE’s lack of support for max-width, in the Kubrick CSS both P and IMG elements have a max-width set like so:


    p img {
    max-width: 100%;
    }

    There are ways of getting round this using javascript but I can’t find / don’t know of a pure CSS way at present

    D’oh! That definately explains it, also explains why it broke default install too (with the same posts obviously). I guess the simple fix for now will just be thumbnails linked to full sized pics!

    Thanks for the help guys, one day we might see a world without IE… or an IE that works like a browser should… I hope it’s the former!
