   Hello,

   I just developed a website, and everything looks great in Firefox 3.6.13, IE8, and IE8 Compatibility Mode, but I am having an issue with IE7.

   I have the following code on the homepage of the website:

   <?php query_posts('p=358'); ?>
   <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   <?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   <?php wp_reset_query(); ?>

   This is supposed to pull content that I have in a post into a specific area on the homepage, but it is not working in IE7.

   I was hoping to get some insight.

   Thanks!

   It's far more likely to be a CSS issue than a code issue.

   I have an update:

   The post has to be published in IE7, but I can keep it a draft in other browsers.

   Is there a way to hide the posts that I am using to pull information into specific areas of the website?

   OR

   Is there a better way to create an "editable area" on a site?

   Thanks!

   You can't publish a post in specific browsers and hide it from other browsers. It's either published or it isn't. Other than that, I'm not sure what you are asking.

   No, what I am saying is that the only browser that requires the post to be published in order for the query to work is IE7 ... all other browsers I have tested on allow me to keep the post as a draft, and the content still shows up in the respective area on the site.

   This is a predicament, because I do not want to actually publish the post AS a post ... I want to use the post as a way to stream specific content into specific areas. Hence my question, and I will ask it again, is there a better way to create an "editable area" on a site other than creating a post and querying that post?

   If using posts to do this is the best viable solution, maybe you can tell me how I can avoid publishing the post, because IE7 doesn't like keeping the post as a draft, as demonstrated by the absence of the content on the site until the post was published.

   Thanks...

   No. Publish the post then exclude it from all other pages. Or try creating a custom query that actually set the post_status to draft rather than using the default setting of published when the post in question is, in fact, still set to draft.
