IE 8 not displaying correctly,

All the products on the home page are messed-up it should list in 3 cols every other page is fine.
and most of the items on the page like Main menu, categories look different than in chrome or fire fox.

Please have a look and see that Chrome and firefox are displaying correct except for IE8

Hope you can assist.

I’ve had the same problem: http://platypus-workshop.com on the home page. And the same problem is also happening in the user12 area in the right hand black block at the bottom… in other browsers, it puts this in two columns — in Explorer only one. Can’t figure out what is causing it. (and only on the home page… works on other pages.)

Hi all!
This is an IE6 and IE7 issue.

In the components/com_k2/templates/default/category.php (be aware that some templates may over-ride this file, if they do apply this fix in the template file not the com_k2 file) there are a number of lines that look like this:

params->get('num_leading_columns'), 1); ?>%;">
This produces a link rather like this in the rendered html:

This statement divides the available space by the number of columns required by K2. IE6 and IE7 both have a problem with this and essentially miss the width specification in the html and resort to a single column.

If you change the lines in category.php to read like this:

params->get('num_leading_columns'), 1); ?>%:#width:%:_width:%;">
You get a line in the rendered html that reads:

FF. IE8 etc will read the first width definition, IE7 will read the second and IE6 will read the third. This solves the problem for me.
