Theme probs in IE

    I have a Star Wars related blog I’m developing at https://www.wisdomofthejedi.com . Each post has a background box with a top, bottom and middle “fill” image that repeats and fills in the background.

    Looks great in Firefox. In IE, there are problems. But not in short posts, but major probs in long ones.

    In IE, if you click somewhere to create a long post, say on a category at left, the fill gives up somewhere down the page and magically disappears when you do a mouseover/hover, but reappears (in a glitchy way) when you select some of the text. I have been banging my head on this for some time but can’t figure out where the problem lies.

    I appreciate any tips. I will paste the stylesheet below, fwiw. Thanks!

  • Probably not the best place to look for an answer because this is an IE bug.

    I found out that IE display htmls differently without <doctype>. You can try to remove it and see what happen. Or try to apply the same background for the form.

    Probably not the best place to look for an answer because this is an IE bug. It is so convenient to blame everything on IE.

    It does not display correctly because of code errors. You can check it here here.

    Correct your code 1 error at a time and revalidate as errors are often cascading.

    Websta, at a glance, I see you use PNGs for your background images and that is where Im guessing you’re having the problem?

    Your theme is riddled with errors as kmessinger pointed out, but I would hazard a guess its the PNGs. IE afaik has had issues displaying PNG-24 files since about 5.5 where you end up with 0% transparency and a horrid boundary box. I’d suggest you google “png image transparency problems ie” and you’d probably get a result fairly quickly.

    That or try PNG-8 with a matte similar to the background color you’re displaying it on.
