Some IE8 browsers

  • Hell!o!

    I’ve just finished a site and it works perfecting on all Mac/Browsers and as well as Windows/Chrome, Windows/Firefox and IE8 – however, several people at my clients’ location are having trouble seeing the navigation on their versions of IE8. Since is works fine on my version of IE8, I can’t even begin to figure out what’s wrong.

    Any suggestions? Here’s the site: https://www.maxib.com/
    Navigation causing issues is the stack in the upper left corner…

    Thanks!

    Just another thought – any problems with tables in IE8? That’s how I am positioning my navigation…

    Start by sorting out the markup errors. Then move onto the CSS errors.

    Thanks esmi!

    I validated and corrected as much as I could. THe only errors I see are:
    <meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=EmulateIE7″ /
    which I have no idea how to fix and a couple of issues with the way I hand;e tables.

    I also created a testpage where I set the navigation with css only instead of in tables:

    Any suggestions?
    thnx,

    You will need to edit your theme’s header.php template file to remove that IE7 emulation line.

    Done! Not sure what that even does…
    so has anyone seen the issue I’m talking about? My version of IE8 seems to be fine, but some people can’t see the navigation…

    Not sure what that even does

    It forces newer versions of IE to emulate IE7 – which you really don’t want these days. Now that you have made these changes, ask those who had problems previously to empty their browser cache and try viewing the site again.
