Hi Guru's,

 

I recently completed a site for a friend. It appears fine in IE8, Chrome, Firefox and I think IE7. But the owner sent me an email with a screen print showing the problem. I have attached the screen shot.

 

It seems to me that that browser is ignoring all / some of the CSS file rules.

I have cleared the browser cashe.

 

Any ideas? Has anybody else come across this problem.

 

On further research, about 20% of users come back with the same errors. I have set up a second laptop with XP and IE6 and it does the same offsetting. A friends work says they use IE 7 and it happens on theirs (unconfirmed system). It does seem clear that the older IE browsers are ignoring a couple of CSS rules.

 

I have heard of rules/code that one can put in for older browsers, could this rectify the problem?

 

Thanks for your attention,

 

Sandy

Hi Sandy,

 

Older versions of IE suck, as such they don't always like the margin:auto; rule which centers a site in any browser worth it's salt, try adding text-align:center; to the body{} rules in your CSS, although this might mean you have to reset the text alignment in some of the divs.

 

Also, it might be worth using lightbox to show the images, it's a bit more user friendly than opening new windows
