• Hey guys, The new Theme i have made is all DIVs; and IE is showing it like crap. So i was thinking of some kind of a browser detection that will decide a theme to use upon the browser and the assigned themes to browsers. or more simple <!—if EI—-> use theme /themes/IE_SUCKS:)

    any one have any ideas how this could be done??

    PS you can check out the new theme at vitamovie.com/site and for fun u can open in in IE and see the confusion the poor fellow faces ??

    lol why because many of new comers who have no experience try to learn the newest way to code and they ignore older standards and problems that arise with IE, by using tools like dreamweaver and cssedit and not even using IE they never know that they have errors because they see it correctly when coded and tested. so instead of fixing their code, this could become an easy solution

    i just have no reason for making it cross browser with tables instead of divs

    divs work in IE too, why would you make it with tables? a simple google search would show you the key differences with the way IE handles css. specifically margins. youve got everything crammed in there with no wiggle room for IE.

    for example have a simple IE theme and another better looking them that they code, ( with mistakes) but the way they want it to look, so like this they can just give a better reason for IE users to use another browser such as FF or safari

    the problem with me and many teens of my age is i am too arrogant to sit and re learn or code

    No comment.

    lol wiggle room, i like that, yeah i know its because for the first time i used this application called CSSEdit (mac only) and its a fast way to do css but it will not tell you any browser compatibility issues you just play around and see what happens. and the reason for the confusion is cuz i used absolute for the positioning for almost all of styles

    they can just give a better reason for IE users to use another browser such as FF or safari

    I don’t use IE myself except for testing but if I did I certainly wouldn’t switch browsers because a certain site didn’t work properly when using it. I just wouldn’t visit that site anymore.

    but again this whole thing is not about my coding or my methods, the topic here is the technique used for switching the theme based on browser

    I don’t use IE myself except for testing but if I did I certainly wouldn’t switch browsers because a certain site didn’t work properly when using it. I just wouldn’t visit that site anymore.

    exactly that is why with having ability to automatically change themes to a IE compatible theme the user would not see the errors or problems at all, but you can still tell the user that the site works better with ff and others

    i used this application called CSSEdit (mac only) and its a fast way to do css but it will not tell you any browser compatibility issues

    why should it? stop being lazy and try actually LEARNING something.

    but you can still tell the user that the site works better with ff and others

    Do you know how 1990s that is? ??

    lol 1990s haha, yeah many tell me to stop being lazy but that still has nothing to do with my question. all i ask is about theme switching in wordpress.

    idk why you guys are all so offensive, if you have no idea about how to switch the theme than why post at all, this post has nothing to do with my coding i say once again, i will stay a lazy noob no matter what, but i hope this forum has people with ideas that can help me, if not than its ok, like i said its sooner or later i will write it up myself, all i wanted is some info about doing this

    and do you guys call every other noob a noob “when they say ahh my login is gone, or my password does not work, what should i do ????” no right? you just give them a link that tells them how to do it, even though they could have as easily googled it

    I gave you “the link” 4 hours ago.

    If you don’t have anything important to add – don’t post. Stop ranting or else I will be forced to close this. Period.
