IE Problem – Firefox is fine

    I’ve just installed the Scattered theme on my blog and it looks good in Firefox but completely wrong in IE. I have no idea how to sort it out, despite trying and tinkering all afternoon. I really like the theme but if it can’t be viewed properlly in IE then i may have to change it. Basically, the sidebar won’t fit in IE and instead shows up at the very bottom of the page after the main content of the blog, whereas it’s perfect in Firefox.

    I haven’t even got a clue what file I should start with when changing code – I’ve been playing with the style.css file with no joy, as well as sidebar.php.

    Has anyone got any suggestions – I’d be much obliged

    Thanks in advance,

    Gingermark, please, if you haven’t yet, search before you start a new thread. We are all glad to help, we just ask that everyone search for an answer first. This question is asked and answered a lot here – and I just got through answering it, yet again, a few short minutes ago.

    In your case, it looks like it might involve the “not found” images at the bottom of your sidebar.

    Sorry about that … I read the thread but, as far as I can, there is nothing that can be done. No actual answers were given on how to fix it. Am I right in thinking that?

    Yes the answer is “given” in that I assumed “too wide” would be interpreted as “you need to reduce the width” ;-). In the case of images in IE, you have to reduce the image width to fit in the width you have set for the sidebar, including accounting for all padding and margins.

    I sometimes recommend commenting out or temporarily removing sections of the sidebar to help track down just what section/s is/are too wide.

    IE is to browsers as the horse and buggy is to transportation. I wish more webdesigners would stop feeding it so we could continue to boldly go where no one has gone before – into the future (my favorite split infinitive 😉
