[jQuery] Re: LavaLamp problem in IE

2009-10-11 Thread tubby

Hi, I have exactly the same problem as Peter.  I have tried to modify
the lavalamp
css as per Don's suggestion but have so far been unsuccessful.

Can anybody provide some example code or documentation as to how to go
about
modifying the css on Peter's so that it works with IE?  Any help
appreciated!

Thanks

Hi, this sounds like a CSS issue actually. You should search for how to make
a conditional comment in X/HTML and apply a separate style sheet for IE
using that. The reason this happens is probably because of how IE especially
6 and earlier handles the box-model in css differently. And so styles like
margin and padding and width behave in a different way than in FF or Safari
etc.
