[ourwebdesigner]

Hi

Problems with IE display.

I have sorted one of the problems in all browsers when the cart was showing on the left side near the bottom. I added an exception in the positions>transplant a module for the cart block. I added index.php and now it does not show.
My shop is here at geowines.co.uk/shop

Need some help with the following if possible. please see attached

I am having a display problem with IE8 the whole display is set to the left side of the browser. In IE 7 everything looking nearly good except for the menu is covered.

Can anyone help me where to look.

It's probably an open

tag that's missing a

It can be a pain to find.

I suggest you disable all the modules from the left+ right column, and start enabling them one by one (one from each side), hopefully that will show you the module that's causing the problem

Hi tomerg3 thanks for your reply.

I have done the following inside the global.css file and things are looking a lot better.

global.css

I wanted a fancy shadow around the content and used the following code:

#columns {

border: 1px solid #999999;
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #999999;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #999999;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #999999;

/* For IE 8 */
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#999999')";
/* For IE 5.5 - 7 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#999999');
}

I have commented out the code for the IE8 and IE5.5 -7

and got the following results as shown in the images

Do you still think their may be a closing div missing or could this have been the problem, please see attached images.

I am still not able to stop the menu hiding behind the content in IE7- so i will have a look for a missing div to see if this sorts it out.

Also the search input box is way bigger than the rest of the input fields in IE8

any comments and help most appreciated.

Hi,

I am curious, did you find a solution for the IE problem?

I am having the same problem, my header menu moves or my searchbar depending how I change global css.

there should be a sulution for this, because many people still use those old IE's.

It's most likely just a problem with your code, maybe a missing closing tag (div).

You can try to use firebug lite for IE and see if it helps you pinpoint the problem.
