Re: [css-d] Problems with IE 6 7
There are a lot of issues on there that need work, but where to start. I usually like to validate my Html and css first to make sure I don't have errors that might be causing the quirky behavior. I ran your page through the W3C validator and found errors in both. So my suggestions would be to start there. Clean those up and then see what behaviors you are getting. My other thoughts: I think it is weird the way they are sticking the search box in a fixed location upper corner so that it floats over all the background as you scroll the page. It doesn't show up over much of that stuff. Then when you resize the window to a narrow width everything breaks, so you might want a min-width style in there to keep it from falling apart. Good luck. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] Problems with IE 6 7
Posted this once and it bounced. Trying again. I have been asked to look over this site and offer some suggestions regarding its problems. Along with my own suggestions, I thought I would consult the CSS Brain Trust to see what wisdom you can offer. Your input is greatly appreciated.

The major problems we are having in IE7 is that the feature box - (right hand side image and lists of news) jumps as the browser window is resized. This doesn't happen in Firefox. Also, the U of I College of Vet Med banner wants to jump to the left hand side of the window when the browser is resized. Finally, in IE7, in the sub-menu level (of the top horizontal navigation), some of the secondary text links wrap instead of staying in a straight line. They did not mention that the site falls apart in IE6. -Tim __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ -- * Tim Offenstein - Web Specialist - CITES - AHS - 244-2700 * A cheerful heart is a good medicine Proverbs 17:22 NRSV __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

This makes text larger in Opera, as well as for IE unless you use pixels. In any case, your visitors can change text size using various browser options. All these situations break the page, one way or another. - The drop-down menu is unusable for keyboard users. - Drop-downs break to two lines when text is larger. Links on the second line are unreachable. - There are many links on the page that do not look like links. I found them by tabbing through them :) - Heights in pixels won't reliably contain text. - I did not try resizing the window, but I don't think many visitors spend much time doing that. I suggest you make up reduced cases of each problem area and post them to the list with a description of the problem you are having. You may well find that a reduced case will reveal the solution anyway, so it's a worthwhile effort. This is just my opinion, not intended to discourage you.
