Title: IE bug question Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # IE bug question * [khaled](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khaled/) * (@khaled) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-bug-question/) * Okay small question regarding an IE bug. In FF my highlighted comments seem to work fine, no problems. In IE, all that information is gone. * [http://www.brokenkode.com/archives/broken-kode-version-30/](http://www.brokenkode.com/archives/broken-kode-version-30/) * I think it’s a position relative thing, although I’m not sure, because I’ve tried various iterations and all I can get out is the gravatar to show up. Any ideas?

When my e-mail address is present then bam it see it and uses the authorcomment class. * `comment_author_email == 'myemailaddress@gmail. com') { $isByAuthor = true;} ?> * ` ';} ?>` * This part has the comment text and other bits and pieces. * ` ';} ?>` * [ifelse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ifelse/) * (@ifelse) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-bug-question/#post-176277) * _erm if I remove that then my actual highlight won’t work, which kind of defeats the purpose no? 🙂_ 🙂 The earlier comment wasn’t meant to be a final solution but a step along the way. * However, it would still mean that there’s still a border around your comment, which acts as a differentiator and you can use the following for non IE browsers: ` li > div.authorcomment{ background: #e7fbfa; } * [ifelse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ifelse/) * (@ifelse) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-bug-question/#post-176287) * Try the following: * .authorcomment{ width:100%; } * It’s a relative positioning bug but I think this should fix things. * Thread Starter [khaled](https://wordpress.org/support/users/khaled/) * (@khaled) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-bug-question/#post-176289) * ifelse, you’re a genius :). * I appreciate all help anyone gives me. Please don’t take my previous comment as a snarky one, it was meant to be tounge in cheek, honest :). * There’s a bit of extra spacing, but to be honest I can live with that. Thanks guys. * [Root](https://wordpress.org/support/users/root/) * (@root) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-bug-question/#post-176292) * He is so _quick _ * [ifelse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ifelse/) * (@ifelse) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-bug-question/#post-176294) * Glad it worked!

It’s like the antithesis of my site, the ying to my yang the black to my white. Great work btw :). And Rootie, Aphrodite seems to be shaping up.
