Attn. IE6 Users (or just people who haven't upgraded)

Feb 18, 11:09 PM - and

As you may notice there is a slight problem with this site in IE6, and unless I can get my grubby little paws on an install of IE6 I cannot fix this problem (because I cannot work from screenshots alone, it’s just not something I can easily do).

So I propose a bribe an idea: You fix my site in IE6 and I’ll give you a cookie. Rather, a picture of a cookie. Probably chocolate (you’ll get a link on a relevant entry too and in the credits section).

The problem, I think, lies in the margin for the navigation, but it could be related to the padding I used in the <h1> tag in the header. I’ll post the portion of the stylesheet I think is causing the problem at the end of the entry. If anyone wants to take a crack at it it would be most appreciated.

Inspired by Amanda’s post about WTF with the IE?

Relevant code:


#header {
background:#4797BF;
border-bottom:29px solid #555;
height:100px;
}
  #header h1 {
  margin:0;
  border:none;
  color:#fff;
  text-align:center;
  padding-top:40px;
  }
#nav {
float:left;
padding-top:7px;
width: 100%;
margin-top:30px;
margin-left:0;
margin-bottom:10px;
}
  #nav li {
  float:left;
  list-style:none;
  margin-right:3px;
  }
  #nav a{
  font-weight:700;
  border-bottom:none;
  padding:8px;
  text-decoration:none;
  }

So it’s not perfect, I’d still come back here if I was using IE. Everything still works, and that’s all I need from a site. I mean at least the sidebar is where it’s supposed to be, on the side, and not in some far off distant place like all the way at the bottom or halfway off the window like mine is :-P

I’m sorry, but I don’t have an install of IE6 to work with at the moment either. Your site doesn’t look that bad though, looking at an IE6 screenshot.

I wish you the best of luck in fixing the problem, though! Working from screenshots can be really annoying…
