The issues mentioned have been solved.

Apparently, when fiddling with IE-correcting plugins, an ie.css file was created outside of my scope, which did override my own child theme style.css on these specific issues. Now that I’ve commented out the culprit lines in this ie.css, everything works “as designed” across all browsers.

Cheerz!

Just to let you know I’ve solved the “floating img” issue.

I had:
<div style=”float:left”><img src=”…” alt=”..” width=”..” height=”..” /></div>

not good in IE8.

I changed this to:
<div><img src=”…” alt=”..” width=”..” height=”..” style=”float:left” /></div>

and now IE8 displays the pictures on the left.

Weird?!? I don’t care anymore ??

@andrew: I started with twenty eleven and was pleased with the fact that the theme turned out to be cross browser compatible. So, when updating to twenty twelve, I didn’t figure to go thru validation myself…

And for shitty IE: I just mentioned IE7 to indicate the differences and show that an upgrade of IE doesn’t necessarily mean an improvement ?? Unfortunately, with a lot of Windows XP users (equals IE8) and Windows 7 (=IE9) out there, it is not yet possible to abandon IE compatibility for these versions… But I’ll follow your link and try to understand IE.

@leejosepho: thanks for your suggestions, I’ll start playing with those.

will that work on safari as well? thought it was a firefox gadget…

YES!!! Been chasing that one for many hours..

Thanks a lot.

Hi Andrew,

I’ve been able to get rid of all the nuisance in the sub-menus with the help of the developers tool.

But now I got stuck on one specific issue, I can’t figure this one out myself.

When a page is selected from one of the submenus, the text in the main menu bar turns to bold (which is good), but the text in the submenu turns white (which is wrong) and bold (which is good).

Is there a way in the syle.css to keep the font color of the selected submenu item black? Hope you can help

Usefull gismo, wasn’t aware of that… Just a noob.

I’ll give it a try, thanks a lot.
