I have been developing a catalogue/shopping cart site for a client and have come across the following problem in IE. For some reason, every now and then, a rectangular patch of the background shows though. A screen capture of this is available at:
http://www.madforit.com.au/brothers/ie.jpg (please excuse the quality of the image) The offending page can be found at: http://brothers2.madforit.com.au/index.php/user/product/beer/local_beer/ Note the dark blue box below the heading "SPECIAL - XXXX Gold Stubbies". I have been taring my hair out for hours trying to figure this one out. Sometimes its there, others it isn't. Sometimes you have to add something into the shopping cart before it will play up. I haven't been able to replicate the problem in any other browser. Also while I am here, has anyone noticed that if you create a PNG file with a solid colour in it, it will never match up to the to a background colour in Safari. Is there any way to make sure they do or is PNG support in Safari broken? An example screenshot: http://www.madforit.com.au/brothers/safari.jpg Thanks in advance. For those who want to know this is my first real site in XHTML + CSS. I have wanted to do it before, but I have never had a designer who would actually let me write the HTML code until now. At the backend I have used (slightly off topic i know) PHP4 HTML_QuickForm (Object Oriented form builder) DB_DataObject (Object Oriented interface to MySQL) Smarty template engine Hopefully in the end, I will have a standards compliant web site, that neatly has all the back end code separated from the HTML. It should be a dream to maintain if I manage to achieve this.
