I took care of the ‘description’ field situation, and that moved everything up a good amount, but not quite. Before I tried kmessinger’s suggestion, I decided to fiddle with as many things I could, to see if it had any effect. * I was back in the Header, rereading the IE condition statement. Earlier I went to the elated.com link you gave me, esmi, and saw that in their example statements they wrote, , with a space between IE and 7. I thought, what the hell, and put a space in there. For God knows what reason, that did the trick! Everything was within the maroon stripe. * There are still a few minor tweaks I need to make in IE, like the black hover state on the menu doesn’t go the height of the maroon stripe, and the search form is a little lower than the rest of the menu. I can fool around with that on my own, I think. * Thanks again to both of you. I can’t tell you how much of a headache you saved me. My wife is having our 2nd kid in May, and I can’t wait to welcome little Esmi Kmessinger into the world. * Cheers! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [IE pushes the menu bar down the page a bit.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/) * Thread Starter [jacktrades](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacktrades/) * (@jacktrades) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/page/2/#post-1045199) * First off, thank you guys so much for helping me out with this. I really appreciate it, and have already learned a lot about these conditional statements. * Unfortunately, I’m still at an impasse. I added: * /ie.css” media=”screen” type=”text/css” /> * to the head section, and it immediately pushed the logo in my header and the menu bar down the page about another 10px. I then put: * ul#main-nav {margin-top:-20px;} * in the ie.css file and played around with the margin, but no luck. It doesn’t budge, and stays about 10px below where it was. * I even copied the Header and Menu styling into ie.css, and played around with the margins, padding, display, but no luck. Everything stays the same, nothing moves up or down no matter what numbers I plug in. * I also cleared the cache in IE to make sure that wasn’t a problem. * If you think this is now unsolvable in a forum format like this, I’ll understand. If you have any other suggestions, however, I will name future children after you. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [IE pushes the menu bar down the page a bit.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/) * Thread Starter [jacktrades](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacktrades/) * (@jacktrades) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/#post-1045151) * esmi – I haven’t done that before, but I’m a quick study and unafraid. The theme I’m using came with ‘ie’ and ‘ie6’ .css sheets, but they’re currently empty. * Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if there’s anything you need from me. * Thank you. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [IE pushes the menu bar down the page a bit.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/) * Thread Starter [jacktrades](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacktrades/) * (@jacktrades) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/#post-1045016) * esmi – Thanks for noticing that. I took care of it, but still no luck. * kmessinger – Your news is both encouraging, yet frustrating. I took your advice, but it still doesn’t show up right for me in IE7. I even went to another computer, and it doesn’t look right. * I created this site by manipulating the ‘Starker’s Theme’, if anyone is familiar with that. There are 2 .css files that came with it, ‘ie’ and ‘ie6’, but they have no code in them. Not sure if this info helps or not. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [IE pushes the menu bar down the page a bit.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/) * Thread Starter [jacktrades](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacktrades/) * (@jacktrades) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/#post-1044954) * Venustang, thanks for your help with this. * I followed your margin suggestion (I think I did what you suggested), as well as played around with other margins, paddding, floats, but nothing worked. * Here’s my CSS for the menu bar. I probably should have posted this in the beginning. * #menu-bar { padding-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; } ul#main-nav { width: 600px; float: left; margin: 1px 0 0 10px; } ul#main-nav li { display: inline; } ul#main- nav li a { text-transform: uppercase; color: white; font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: bold; padding: 8px 15px; -moz-border-radius: 5px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;} ul#main-nav li a:hover { background: black; color: #FFFFFF; } form#searchform{ margin: 0px 10px 20px 60px; display: inline; } * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [IE pushes the menu bar down the page a bit.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/) * Thread Starter [jacktrades](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacktrades/) * (@jacktrades) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/#post-1044950) * I’ve been looking at it in IE7. * I do have float:left command in CSS for my main-nav. * Should I lose it? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [IE pushes the menu bar down the page a bit.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/) * Thread Starter [jacktrades](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jacktrades/) * (@jacktrades) * [17 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ie-pushes-the-menu-bar-down-the-page-a-bit/#post-1044948) * Hmm, there’s a link when I edit the above post, but not when I publish it. * The site address is [http://www.opexcellence.com](http://www.opexcellence.com) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total)
