Hi! First sorry for my english:)
I have a problem with grey-style-20 looking in IE.
Screen in attach.
Plz Help, and sorry if i paste topic in wrong place.
-
can you give us a link ?
Do you have made some modifications to the theme ?
-
Ok open http://photoadder.com in IE.
There is some modifications but everything work fine in other browsers:/
I dont know where i made a mistake so if you can plz check code.
-
your problems comes probably from your modifications, check difference between your code and the original code (in the template.html file at first).
Try to desable the plugins you have installed to see if the issue is not an interference from a plugin
-
I have some changes in template.html but i dont think this can make bad looking in IE.
Plz take a look on screen. That's the same page on localhost, with the same plugins, theme file and everything.
Have any idea why on http://photoadder.com theme looking bad in IE ???
-
Stop posting screenshots, that's just nonsensical in your case. Instead, zip your custom theme folder and attach the theme zip to your posting.
-
Ok, sorry for screenshooting ;) Theme attached. Plz help me.
-
Which version of IE are you having problems with? What resolution are you viewing in? It looks fine in IE7 & 8 on my machine 1280*1024
-
desable the login form plugin or mod you are using
-
Im using 1280x1024. On IE6 and IE8 have problem with theme. I dont understand why in your IE8 and the same resolution you dont have problem ???
Im using PM system plugin and there is an option to add login form on main page but nothing happen after disable this option.
OMG im so irritated >:(
-
That very strange because on localhost everything is fine :-\ Just online on server and on IE site looks bad, even after delete cookies.
-
Any ideas? Plz :-\ Sorry for tripple posting but i cant edit my posts.
-
Unfortunately, I have been unable to replicate this problem on any of my machines which are 3 windows boxes running various versions of IE or on my MAC. So all I can think of is that you have problems on your machine.
-
I have no idea about IE8 yet, but in the past it used to help to make sure your site validates (http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fphotoadder.com%2F). Your site's HTML markup is a mess, so it's not surprising that the page looks differently in different browsers.
Your template (http://photoadder.com/themes/grey-style-20/template.html) is a mess and of course it doesn't validate (http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fphotoadder.com%2Fthemes%2Fgrey-style-20%2Ftemplate.html&charset=utf-8&doctype=XHTML+1.0+Transitional&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.654) neither, so it's not surprising to me that one or the other browser "acts up".
I'm sorry to bash you, but you asked for it, so here are some additional remarks that go beyond what the validator "complains" about:
- Google analytics code belongs to the bottom of the page, not the top
- The target attribute is deprecated, but also misleading for users: many hate to be bossed around.
- HTML tags that don't have a closing tag should be ended with a slash (like <img /> or <br /> instead of <img> and <br>)
- A <li>content</li> construct needs to reside within a <ul></ul>-construct
- A <ul>content</ul>-construct without <li> is not allowed and doesn't make sense.
- Older versions of IE used to be more fault-tolerant for table nesting mistakes than newer versions. Anyway, when you make nesting mistakes, the browser can only "guess" what you wanted to accomplish, so it's probably the main culprit for browser differences.
- <h1> to <h6> is a matter of logic, not a matter of representation
Any ideas?
This is not a hotline! Allow days for answers, not just mere hours.
Sorry for tripple posting but i cant edit my posts.
You can't edit your postings because we don't want you to do so - that's intended behaviour because of frequent abuse. If your original intention was to edit your postings, then the intention was wrong. You are part of the problem, i.e. the reason why we disabled post editis for regular users.

P.S. [off topic]
Displaying an image (http://photoadder.com/displayimage-15.html) that clearly was taken from another page (you can see the watermark) might not be a bright idea. Naming your site "photo adder" may not be a bright idea neither, as most people are afraid of snakes. Using the SEF_URL plugin should be reviewed thoroughly - you might run into issues (there's a reason why that plugin was dropped).

Sorry if i make you angry.
Now i know. This problem of my machine because on other everything looks good.
Thanks for tips, but i dont change too much in template, so many errors comes from oryginal template.
-
Sorry if i make you angry.
I'm not angry.
This problem of my machine because on other everything looks good.
No, that's wrong. The site will not look the same in all browser, with so many validation errors.
Thanks for tips, but i dont change too much in template, so many errors comes from oryginal template.
That doesn't matter if it came with the original template or not: the errors are there. Fix them if you want your site to look OK in all major browsers.
-
So, anybody have solution? I think this is not due to validator errors. I tried to change something in css and i fixed that for IE but then the problem appear in firefox.
-
Still doesn't validate. What's the question?
-
Some errors can not be repaired without destroying the style. If you can tell me how can i fix that errors without destroying i will do that.
Just look at grey-style-20 in IE from this link and tell me why demo look bad in IE just like in my site???
http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/index.php?theme=grey-style-20
-
the demo gallery looks good on IE8 for me.
-
Then my site look good too? I really dont undarstand that :/
-
no your site looks not good, there is a problem with your changes to the original theme...
-
Hmm... you have got my theme so can you check this out? I dont know what is wrong in my files couse i didn't change anything which could break theme, i think.
-
So what? It's a user-contributed theme...
-
I'm the one who ported this theme from WP to CPG but i don't find what is wrong in macias theme (and have no time to look deeper into on this moment...)
-
I know, i just saying i have problems with this theme on IE from the moment when i start it on my gallery.
-
Your theme still doesn't validate. The one on our demo doesn't validate neither, but we never said so. Subject of this thread are your issues with IE8, and all I can say is make your theme validate first - we will not look into issues caused by invalid HTML. You don't need to bother to post here if your theme doesn't validate, OK?
