adjusting for Explorer [SOLVED]

Post by maryjane »

I just finished building my site using a mac and viewing it in Firefox and Safari. I looked at it in Internet explorer and the browser puts a big space between the title and the images and galleries. On one browser it changed the gallery with five images across to two. Are there any tips for making the site read well on internet explorer without changing the design too much. The address for my site is <maryjaneparkerart.com>
Thanks for your help, this forum has been invaluable as I have been working on my site.

That template was originally made for a flexible width site, since you have it as a set width there are somethings you don't need, in the css...

No need to declare min/max width as the same on pagewrapper just width:1000px, and in template take out all the JS for IE min/max...

The #content in css has margins and widths that aren't needed for fixed width...

div#content {
color: #666666;
margin-left: 180px;
argin-right: 210px;
idth: 354px; /* minus 6px due to ie6 */
ax-width: 080px;
in-width: 800px;

}
