Comment.php problem…I think

Hi There ~

Trying to get my first wp blog up and running and having some difficulties with the comments page coming together like I’d like stylewise.

Problem #1

I used the DaisyRae Gemini Theme but borrowed alot of the style.css from another blog that I liked (I don’t have access to the comments.php for this blog). As a result I don’t think my comments.php from the daisy theme is matching up well with the changes in my style.css.

I’d prefer to change the comments.php page to read what’s in my style.css rather than change the style.css as I know it has the information to give me what I want.

I’ve never dealt with css or php before three days ago so please be gentle when explaining. I’ve searched and searched wordpress as well as google for the answer and spent all day on this problem before coming here for help. It’s 2:45am and I’m wonky. Hoping to go to sleep and wake up with a wonderful gift from somebody giving me the answer.

Problem #2

The name, e-mail and website boxes in the leave a comment section are showing up in firefox but not in IE 6.0

here’s the link

I’ve been messing around with the comments.php with mixed results.

specifically I added
<ol class=”commentlist”> and which gave me some of the styling but not all.
and <li class=”<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>” id=”comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>”> from the default wp theme as I know the style.css I borrowed from is very close to this theme.
I’ve removed these for now since they didn’t do the trick completely.

Here is how my comments.php reads now…or at least the part I think needs fixing.

<h2 id=”comments”><?php comments_number(__(‘No Comments’), __(‘1 Comment’), __(‘% Comments’)); ?>
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
“>»
<?php endif; ?>
</h2>
<?php if ( $comments ) : ?>

<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<div id=”commentbox”>
<div class=”commentid”><?php comment_ID(); ?></div>
<?php comment_text() ?>
<cite1><?php comment_type; ?><?php comment_author_link() ?> | <?php comment_date() ?> @ “><?php comment_time() ?></cite1>
</div>

<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php else : // If there are no comments yet ?>
<?php _e(‘No comments yet.’); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Thanks for your help.
