There is no Mac IE. There hasn’t been for several years. However when it was around a common mistake that coders used to make was that they used single quotes ( ‘ ) instead of double quotes ( ” ). You could check your code for that as the Mac IE didn’t recognize single quotes. However I wouldn’t worry to much about how it looks in Mac IE, there’s probably just a handful of people using it these days.
Please post your CSS for those other sections so we can look them over.
“Internet Explorer is making me loopy.”
That’s because Internet Explorer IS loopy :p IE7 also messes up javascript, so there’s much more of this fun coming your way courtesy of Microsoft 😉
Oh wonderful. I can’t wait to see what happens in IE7.
I’m glad I don’t have to worry about Mac IE. I was at my parents’ house when I noticed how messed up it looked on their Mac. I will just have to tell them their browser is obsolete. Yay!
Here is the CSS. Thanks in advance for your help!
[Moderated: Holy gosh, that’s a lot of code! Let’s use a pastebin service such as http://wordpress.pastebin.ca instead. Or, since it is just CSS, you could just give a link directly to it. Thanks]
K, sorry about that!
Here is the link to the CSS.

“I will just have to tell them their browser is obsolete. Yay!”
Yeah just tell them to use Safari or the older version of FireFox (1.5) as 2.0 is still a little buggy. I prefer Safari as everything always works flawlessly with it.
I didn’t see a width setting for the header. I think IE needs both width and height. Also do you have a link to the theme you’re using?
http://www.headsetoptions.org/2006/07/21/3k2-redux-klee-released/
This is where I got the theme originally.
Do you mean I should probably have a width here?
#
#header {
#
padding: 0;
#
margin: 0;
#
position: relative;
#
height: 200px;
# I'LL PUT ONE IN RIGHT HERE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS...
background:url(images/head.jpg) no-repeat #000000;
#
}
Yes, and change background to:
background: url(images/head.jpg) no-repeat;
Also, have you tried contacting the author (via their comments section)? Seems a few others were having problems with IE.
K, I’ve done both in the stylesheet.
And I’ve just realized there’s a comment section below the spot where I downloaded the theme…Well duh. I should probably ask the author, huh?
Only because they know their own creation the best 🙂 If you still have problems then you can always stop back here 🙂
Excellent idea. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve put in my comment to the author.
Appreciate the help!
Good luck with it Cynthea.
Let us know how it was resolved so that we can help others with the same problem 🙂
There are over 50 xhtml validation errors on that site. No wonder it borks.
Root, I have no idea how xhtml validation errors occur. Is this something I can fix? Are the errors still there?
But the author got back to me and figured it out pretty fast. It’s always me of course. 🙂 Something about the formatting of one of my posts was throwing off the entire site. So I deleted the post and the formatting issues went away. Presto!
We just found out that the theme that we’re using has a bunch of bad code in it too, so it’s not Cynthea’s fault. With all the problems that we’ve seen with themes, and now with this, it looks like there are a lot of people out there making badly written themes. WordPress should be checking these themes before they allow them to be uploaded to their site.
“So I deleted the post and the formatting issues went away.”
One post should not cause all those problems for you. What happens the next time that someone accidentally makes a bad post? If you want to stick with this theme then I’d point out all of those XHTML validation errors to the author and have them clean up their code.
I have done my best to follow the two or more threads you have generated with patience, humour and courtesy. But this is Open source software. Themes are written by a lot of people. They may not always know much but they know more than you do. If you find *bad code* then fix it. When you are done release it for others to use. I am really fed up with you bitching while simultaneously dissing the people trying to help. You will probably never know the extent of the collective wisdom and experience of many of the contributors in this thread. Much of which you have ignored because you say *it doesn’t work*. Well a modicum of ability is presumed. Without it you need to pay a pro. Good luck with the theme. There are only a million others out there. Any one of which you could easily copy. If you knew how. 🙂
