IE/FX Challenges

  • I’m having a few issues between FX and IE.

    fhcommunity.org

    1. The header is built as a table, without a border. In IE, there is a space between the big main image and the black bar with the “home” button.

    2. The sidebar is built with a ul and li. In FX, hovering is not an issue. In IE, it moves the sidebar spacing all around (and gives me a headache.) I have tried defining the padding, margins, and line height, all to no available.

    3. A tricky one to see. In IE, there is white space all the way down the page in the middle (from the div page…imagine that.) That is how I want it! In FX, after the sidebar ends, so does the white space from that div. I want to expand all the way down with the content.

    Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  • Takes too long to load. Probably the 2MB jpeg? *cough*

    1) IE is adding 3px to the bottom. Either don’t use tables (except for tabular data) or use a conditional comment to call an IE specific stylesheet with a hack;td img {margin-bottom:-3px;} .

    2) Suggest you check for cascading issues with margin/padding between a, a:visited, a:hover, etc.

    3) You have an embedded (in header.php?):
    body { background: url("https://www.fhcommunity.org/wp-content/themes/default/images/bar.gif");}
    that’s really messing with the rest of the page. If you need a black border up there, use border-top: 7px black; or similar…

    I finally fixed number one by changing my css. Still need help with two and three.

    3) The entire content area is white in IE (like I want) but it stops in FX after the navbar. What is wrong with my page div?

    3) Remove the BG img I mentioned above. Observe what happens.

    I did. There is no bg anymore.

    No bg image, that is. I replaced with a bg color.

    Removing https://www.fhcommunity.org/wp-content/themes/default/images/bar.gif makes the white bg of the sidebar go all the way down to footer, for me.

    Good luck ;’)

    That file is deleted already! It works like you say in IE, but not in FX.
