Link requires a browser that renders pages correctly. Internet Explorer does not render pages correctly. IE7 beta does, but half of the footer just won't load.


The original layout was designed by generationext. I modified it so much that it doesn't even look like theirs anymore, and most of the code has been changed. Here's the original: http://www.freelayouts.com/templates/view/2145



On the readme page, there is a summary of the php modifications on the page. The page also has a functional download manager I coded.

Why did you use tables?

 

[jaygreentree]

Not bad the only problem I see is in your html

 <!--[if lt IE 7.]>-->

shoulde be

 <!--[if lt IE 7.]-->

In order of posting:

fedlerner: thanks!
noerrorsfound: Why not? It doesn't decrease functionality. I still find tables easier to code than divs.
jaygreentree: thanks. I'll fix that asap.

Still wrong. The code should be like this:

 <!--[if lt IE 7]>
 <script defer type="text/javascript" src="pngfix.js"></script>
 <![endif]-->

This is the correct use of the IE conditional. The code you had before was just a bunch of comments.

Also, tables are used for tabular data, that's why they're called tables.

I knew just copy/pasting that line from the site I got it from was a bad idea. Thanks, cubeform.

But what's wrong with using tables if they work?


Also, if anyone can figure out why the footer doesn't show up completely in IE7, I'd be quite happy.

I love the layout, and I love how someone is coding everything from scratch as opposed to tweeking something already made!

I had the same problem as you with the footer not showing up in ie. What happens is if there is any conflict with the size or position of the footer, ie will just eliminate the footer completely, whereas in firefox, it would display the footer albeit in its deformed way. What you need to do is fix this "deformity", which might just appear fine in firefox. Try resizing the tables, shifting them pixels, etc. It should be easy to find the problem, at least when working with divs, lol.

And you'd be surprised how many people still use ie! :eek4:

Well, almost. I still credit generationext even though 98% isn't their code.


I'm going to go through the whole thing tomorrow and look for the rogue value. This is where the "IE Tab" extension comes in handy.

Nice. Looks good.

There, I fixed the footer for IE.
