I need help! FIREFOX Vs. INTERNET EXPLORER.

trenchteam · February 18, 2005, 04:48:49 AM

Im hoping the mambo team or the template team from these forums can help me. My site was ready for launch. Then I checked I.E. I hate I.E. It causes so many problems.

Anyway, no matter what theme I use (FORUM THEME) my site when wrapped with the bridge really looks screwy in Internet Explorer. It doesnt wrap. It goes below the Portal. Here are the screenshots.

I would care less about how my site looks in IE except 70% of my visitors use Internet Explorer Browser. My problem is getting my template to wrap properly.

Anyways,

In Firefox it works great!.

Heres what it looks like in Internet explorer. It doesnt fit???

Put the forum in a table
2 colums 1 row

Maybe harder than said mind you.

Doesnt matter what theme. The default theme does the same thing. It fits perfectly in firefox, then it goes below the Portal in Internet Explorer! anyone else have suggestions. Trekkie, that is more difficult solution than it seems. I dont want to do it that way if I can help it.

Is that Mambo template based on the Solar Flare template?

trenchteam · February 18, 2005, 05:56:07 AM

yes. Orstio.

The Solar Flare template does not work well in IE. Even images 250-300 pixels wide in content items may have that same effect.

wow. thanks for the info. I guess i have to start from scratch. poor poor me. Thanks again though. I appreciate it.

BTW, can you make suggestions for templates I can base myself on that is IE friendly? Man, Im kinda disappointed about this, but I've learned. Please send me a list of templates that I can look at that can give me a similar effect to what I had.

BTW: Any of the Ako Templates seem to work very well.... and they can be esaily converted to variable width rather than fixed width...

Firefox follows the W3C rules. IE does not.

Encourage your visitors to upgrade to Firefox.
