CSS glitch-IE problem with template

Try setting p.contentpane to a div to overflow: auto; and trashing height: auto; and specify position: absolute. That might help figure out what’s up here.

That said, I didn’t have a whole lot of time to hack at it. You should make sure that your CSS validates as well.

Hi, Thanks for the help eston. Now the contentpaine/blue border wraps around all the text in IE. however, this has spawned another problem. My footer appears in IE, inside the blue bordered area now. https://www.runjeeta.com/word. It’s fine in fire fox and others, but wrong in IE… I’m pasting my code here…its my index… I used a <div style= “clear:both”> </div> to pull the white background of the body down all the way down. I can’t seem to move this divstyle anywhere in the code to make it work right. Even moving it to the footer doesn’t help. The code for the index page is below. My coding is at the bottom of it.
<?php get_header();?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php the_date(”,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?>
<div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<a>” rel=”bookmark”>
<?php the_title(); ?>
<?php _e(“Filed under:”); ?>
<?php the_category(‘,’) ?> —
<?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?>
<?php edit_post_link(__(‘Edit This’)); ?>
<?php the_content(__(‘(more…)’)); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>

<?php _e(‘Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.’); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php posts_nav_link(‘ — ‘, __(‘« Previous Page’), __(‘Next Page »’)); ?>
<strong>
</span>
<br/>
<span class=”frontpage”></span></div>
<!– InstanceEndEditable –>
<p class=”contentpane2″><span class=”randomcolortext”>{search}</span>
<br/>
<IMG class=”imageright” alt=”howl”
src=”https://www.runjeeta.com/images/howl1.jpg”/&gt;

<div style=”clear: left”></div>
</strong>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Also, is it wrong to have span tags in this code? It was for formatting my text, although it seems to not work on my word tempate yet. I have an idea of how to fix it though. I would rather get my footer straightened out first..

Thanks for helping. Becky01 ps. I don’t know why some of this message is in bold…

please ignore the strong tags you see. they aren’t part of my coding, i was trying to make MY tempate code stick out better adn then the post edit thing expired before i could fix it….

Just to update, I have fixed the problems with what my text was looking like. But, i’m still having problems with my footer in IE. Please look up two posts, for my orginal entry on the footer problem. thanks!

It has some glitches in Safari too. Best would be to gather some understanding of IE glitches. This link helped me a lot: https://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer.html

Also you can find quite some info just by using google. I searched for “IE max-width” and found a solution for my problemen at the third link already. Turned out to be an article from the famous Jeffrey Zeldman ??

Good luck

Lot’s of people still do? Hello! Understatement of the year. 90% of all web browsing is done on IE..

Thanks for the link to hte IE stuff. I debugged my site and now it looks better but on my journal page the footer is still inside the blue middle content box (https://www.runjeeta.com/word) This is contrary to the way the rest of my site looks (or the part that i’ve updated). I dont know why my code would work differently just because it has wp php in it. grr

anymore help on this particular issue would be fabulus.
ps. ronnieruff, thanks for that enlightening comment ??
