Another Dreaded IE Display Issue

    I’m slowly in the process of transferring my blog from Blogger to WordPress and I’m experiencing some difficulties.

    So far, in Firefox, my site looks the way I want it to… but in IE, there seems to be a 2px discrepancy with my sidebar. The table with the CDs should be perfectly aligned to the left, but IE shows a 2px gap.

    Admittedly, I’m not a pro with the whole PHP thing, so it could be human error on my part. But I’m interested to see if someone has a suggestion.

    Temporary site is located here:

    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Regardless of what’s causing the problem, you can feed IE the value it needs by using a hack to feed IE what it needs. I suspect it’s the table you need to feed an html specific value to. Give that table a class, for instance “cd” and then try something like this (I didn’t play with this, but you’ll get the idea.)


    /* hide from IE5-mac */
    * html table.cd { margin-left: -2px;}
    /* end hide */

    This is also assuming that IEMac is already playing nicely. If it isn’t, then remove the “hide” hack. Also, notice the space between the “*” and the “html”, it needs to be there.

    If you want to “future proof” this, put this snippet of css in a conditional comment in the header.php file and feed only to IE6.
