IE6 problem with a new Theme. Any help with a fix please.

Post by burlington »

I do like This new Theme.

However, on testing it, I find that it needs a fix for IE6. What happens is that the menu bar becomes vertical rather than horizontal. Works fine in IE7 and elsewhere.

This is the CSS file:

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

}

Thank you.

The theme is the 'zion narrows' theme, available since November.

What I have done is to try this theme out on an existing website, as I usually do, just to see what it looks like and to test to make sure it works OK before using it for real on a new site.

The site & test page I used was at http://www.llandrindod-rugby.org.uk/index.php?page=test. The theme works fine in various screen resolutions and in all the browsers I tried except for IE6. In IE6 the menu becomes vertical. It does the same in IE5.5!

The CSS files used are the one which came with the theme, and the Accessibility & Cross Browser file. I have also tried it without this latter file and it makes no difference at all. CMSMS Version used is 1.7 'Cape Verde'.

Regards

Martin
