Not working in internet explorer

Hi botfeeder, can you more specific about what does not work in IE and the version of IE you use?
Thanks

Hi Nikeo! I’ll add my findings:

1. On the front page icons for featured pages don’t expand and contract, and they are not clickable.

2. Several icons don’t appear (like the page icon that shows up next to the title on every page).

Version of IE ?

More on the icons. My right sidebar right now has the standard widgets (Recent Posts, Recent Comments, etc.). The icons for Recent Comments and Archives are correct, but the icons for Recent Posts and Categories show as a couple of tall, thin featureless boxes side by side. It looks like some sort of “icon not found” icon and it appears in various places in the theme.

Sorry: IE8 (8.0.7600.16385)

Thanks.
Customizr works fine with IE8. As for the icons, this version of IE is now becoming old and doesn’t fully support the font icons used in the theme.
Cheers

Nikeo, the featured pages icons don’t work. They don’t expand and contract which is mostly cosmetic and I can live without, but the part that’s a problem is that they also aren’t clickable. They do not act as hyperlinks to the page; you have to click on the “Read More” button.

As for the icons, how can I fix them? I’m okay with CSS; if you can point me at the right place to fix them I’ll see what I can do and I’d be happy to make my information known.

A little more research shows that Entypo and IE8 don’t work together. When I get a chance I’ll replace the entypo icons. Hopefully I can find them without too much problem.

But I still have an issue with the Featured Pages icons on the front page.

The featured pages circle/zoom effects will never work on old versions of IE. IE didn’t conform to lots of standards. In particular, the transition property that causes the zooming of the featured images is not supported in IE 9 and below, and the border-radius property that makes the featured images circular is not supported in IE 8 and below.

Check out the Can I Use… site to understand the problems with the various IE versions.

For the clickability, Andrew Nevins suggested a fix here, using the .ie8 selector, but it doesn’t seem to work. You could try the more general .ie selector instead:

.ie .round-div {
 top: 0;
 left: 0;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
}

However, be aware that it may break other versions of IE. IE’s lack of adherence to standards over the years causes a situation where the patches you apply to fix one version may break other versions. Andrew was probably trying to restrict the damage by using the .ie8 selector, but as it didn’t work, it’s worth trying the more generic .ie selector above. But test it first on all versions or IE you can get your hands on. (And let us know if it works for you on IE8.)

Tip: While fixing IE problems in your stylesheet, make sure you don’t swear. It can stop your pages loading behind profanity-filters. ??
