Actually, I’m referring to this site. I see with Internet Explorer, here at work (the browser that Macbros blatantly insists that I upgrade from on every visit to his site from work), that the header and body of the page seem to be squished together a bit, showing only the top half of the links between. Is this happening for anyone else? This only happened since we upgraded the center’s computers with the latest patched version of Windows.
At home, the page renders as intended (except that my monitor is getting old and everything is getting darker and darker) on IE6, Firefox2.2, and Opera10 on Windows and also fine in Konqueror, Firefox, and Opera on PCLinuxOS, Gentoo (no Opera), Debian, and Kubuntu.
If you see this behavior and you know how to fix it, I’d like to know. I know its gotta be an IE hack, but I’m not to well versed on them (I barely can code to standard, let alone to non-standard, oppressive, restricted proprietary code).
fixed. see comments for details. kludgy. blech
The header is smushed in IE6 here at work. If I can remember (iffy this week) I’ll check in on IE6 & 7 at home.
I have it up in both FX2 and IE7 and it looks virtually identical in both, nothing wrong at all. IE6 needed a hack for some things to look right, but I don’t have IE6 to check. I don’t have Opera installed either.
I’m willing to bet it’s an IE plugin at your job that’s affecting rendering. At my last job, that freakin’ websense would screw with half of the web pages it let through its filters.
I forgot IE doesn’t call them plugins. Add-ons, snap ons, whatever…
Can’t see it to try and suggest how to fix it. :p
I’ll try to remember to do a screenshot of the IE window tomorrow from work and add it to the post. DL sees it the way that I do at work.
Yep Corey, it looks like it’s just IE6. It looks smushed in 6 here at home too but I tried IE7 on one of the other computers here at it looks fine just like Firefox.
I fixed it with a kludgey height attribute for the navbar list. Its not ideal, but it was caused by removing the search box from the list. The box was forcing the div to grow, I think (an IE6 bug). The thing is that the default search function is inaccurate and limited. That box was being forced into the body of the page on Firefox. I’m sure there’s cleaner code out there, but I still like this theme (but don’t get used to it, folks – there might be another log on the fire…). I prefer the Google search plugin that I have now. Funny, though. IE doesn’t respect the option to not display the Google logo.
I’m not sure if this helps Corey, but I am looking at all of this with one eye closed, with IE7 open on one monitor, FF 2.0 open on the other and Galeon completing the set and I honestly have to confess, it all looks just dandy from here.
Opening the one closed eye does give me a few problems but that’s got nothing to with your header. I’m just glad the world has alternative liquids!
