IE Troubles...

I hope these are easy ones to solve:

<strong>1.Problem</strong>
I have designed a sidenavi with li items see in action here
The spacing of the li items looks fine on Mac browsers, but in IE on Windows there is much more space between the navi items.
Any way to resolve this?

<strong>2.Problem</strong>
I am using Firefox on a Mac but when I test on IE Windows, there is a purple/blue border around the thumbnail images that are set as links, although I defined the general link color as grey. How do I get rid of this? Do I need to define the link colors specifically for the img?

<strong>3.Problem</strong>
In IE 5.2 for Mac the h3 heading overlaps the thumbnail (grrr) see in action here

Any clues greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Dada

Re: IE Troubles...

I’m editing on a mac as well, but I know that you you can give the css for those thumbs a border:none and it should take care of the blue line.

per the other issues (mac 5.2 and sidenav )you may think about looking into using conditional css links in order to control how the page looks in different browsers.
It looks like this:
<code>
<!—[if IE 6]>
<link rel=“stylesheet” href=”/css/ie6.css” type=“text/css” />
<![endif]—>
</code>
and their are others out there as well (I think they are only for IE browsers)

They aren’t as good as having all one style sheet, but its better than hacking your stylesheet up, when you don’t know how the future browsers will handle it?

Re: IE Troubles...

Congrats ;-)

Thanks for the tips.

But do you know of a way to control the li spacing? Wonder why it looks “spaced out” ;-) on Windows IE? In Firefox it looks fine.

Re: IE Troubles...

Thanks,

What’s your css look like? Your xhtml?

stuart gave me some advice about how to control cross browser stuff, I posted some of my findings, and others followed up about a lot of it here (above and below)

Re: IE Troubles...

dada78, if you want to know more about the {margin:0; padding: 0;} suggested by ma_smith, read the article Global White Space Reset by Andrew Krespanis.

There are also another white-space resets techniques. I usually do a merge between them.
