I’m still building my site and comparing it between Firefox 3 and IE 7. I have found at least two display/layout problems in Internet Explorer.

1) Transparent background of main menu just disappears in IE. I have tried both Moo menu and CSS menu settings – same problem. I found a solution in this thread about putting a background on the Moo menu, but I’ve tried a few different variations for the code

#ja-cssmenu li ul {
background:transparent url(../../images/trans-bg.png) repeat scroll 0 0;
border:1px solid #202020;
}
and I see nothing changing. Are there menu styles in another CSS file that override this one?

Screenshots:

Firefox 3: good

IE7: bad

2) Content area and breadcrumbs are sitting too high in IE7.

Screenshots:
Firefox 3: good

IE 7: bad

What do I change/add to the CSS to fix the IE problem so it won’t affect anything in Firefox?

Thanks for any help!

Your first problem can be fixed following the instructions in this thread.

Your second problem is caused by you increasing the size of your slideshow without increasing the size of it’s parent container (ja-topsl). To fix it open template.css and find on line 2426….

#ja-topsl {

height:324px;
margin:0;
z-index:10;
}


…and change the height to 400px.

Scotty, a million thanks to you. Another case of operator error (regarding my slideshow div). I’m going to try your suggestions right now.

Thanks again!

Dear Scotty, what about Teline III compatibility problems with IE9, any suggestions? My site http://www.herbcyclopedia.com works in all browsers but IE. Thanks.

At present IE9 is still in Beta so no specific fixes for it have been applied to any of the templates. When IE9 is released then work will be done to ensure compatability but until then IE9 may change too much to justify the work involved.
