Internet Explorer Problem
« on: October 21, 2005, 01:14:11 am »

So I customized the waterdrop theme and it looks great in firefox browser but awful in internet explorer.

IE: http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/361/galleryie4fg.jpg
Firefox: http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/9995/galleryf8ld.jpg

Anyone have an ideas on how this could be fixed?

post a link to your site instead of links to screenshots. The supporters have different browsers as well, there's little sense in looking just at screenshots without being able to see what you did.

@Anna: If the Firefox version is the correct one, you should unhide the Powered by credit line.

No further support until you properly display the Powered by tag line.

oh, yes - I didn't notice that you hid this line. Do as suggested and put it back. Making in "invisible" by assigning the same text color as the backgrund equals removing it, which is a copyright violation. >:(

That wasn't on purpose. I am still trying to fix the theme so everything is working properlly, and haven't exactly figured out how to make it show up.

Where should I put that then? I need the image map for my menu.







And for the coppermine link, I just put it in anycontent because I couldn't think of an easy way to unhide it since I liked my colors.

I put the link in the anycontent area instead. Because I am not sure exactly how to unhide it without changing all of my colors.

Unless you can tell me how to do it.

sure, only accidentally - not on purpose. Happens all the times. Happens to me as well. Even if you don't know your way around at all in html, you still find out how to accidentally mis-edit the footer class that isn't doing anything but determining the look of the "Powered by Coppermine" tag. How about saying something like "sorry"? Would make more sense instead of saying you edited it by accident, especially if you want support.

I honestly did do it by accident. I am not a freaking liar. When I was chaning the colors I wasn't paying attention to what the title of each section was. I just chose what color I wanted to change and went down the page replacing each one that matched with the new color. I am new at this so didn't exactly know what I was doing.There would be no reason I would try to hide it on purpose. I didn't even notice it was hidden till you pointed it out to me yesterday.

And I DID say I was sorry. And I DID do it by accident since I was going through the thing pretty quickly. IF there is anything I hate more than anything else, it is being accused of something I didn't actually do.

FWIW, Anna did say she based the theme on water_drop. When I compared her version (from before) and water drop, it seemed the footer styles were unmodified. Since she insists it was an accident, I'd give her the benefit of the doubt, since it does seem like an oversight not to modify the footer section to account for her added black background.

However, that's so-called "mystery meat navigation". If I was to go to your page, I wouldn't find it logical to hover over an image that doesn't clearly show that it's meant to be used for page navigation. The text is much too small to be visible as navigation, I would have taken it as watermark. I guarantee that many users will leave your site just because they can't find the right spot.

I tried the code and it still looks bad in Internet Explorer.


And I knew there was something I forgot to do. I was going to put "Navigation" in big text above it on the image, but I totally forgot. Haha. Thanks for the reminder.
