IE will not read my CSS?

Post by FinnK »

Hi all
I am a novice so this might be a simple question to answer - I hope that is the case. I have struggled to get the grips of making my own simple templates and connected CSS's.
I am currently trying to mimic and expand the looks of an existing page in the prosess of switching to CMSmadeSimple. This is a frontpage with 3 coloumns. It looked OK in Firefox and Opera, but the IE screen gave me quite a suprice - it seems like IE is skipping most of my CSS!

Please take a look: http://www.filmklippere.com/cms

At this time I am at work and I have tried a few things to see if IE would do it right, but no luck. However this might have upset Firefox/opera, but I am not able to check this until I get home late this evening (in Norway).

I would be very happy if someone have an answer to my troubles or can point me in a direction for solving this IE mess.

interesting :)

Im not sure (and I think that css isnt casesensitive) but try to change all css tags to lovercase.

and you lack a few img alt="" (when page is not valid IE has a bad habbit on going to quirks mode which will usually render wrong)
add those alt tags and try css validator if it shows something odd

might also take this out, probably at the bottom of the menu CSS or top of the Typography, you never know,,


/* IE Hacks */

#primary-nav li li {
float: left;
clear: both;
}
#primary-nav li li a {
height: 1%;
}
-->

Magic: I am on the right track!

I changed all uppercase to lowercase AND found one "misspelling" of the comment tag in the css - /' instead of /*

That might upset IE maybe... Now there is positions and paddings /margins to deal with..... later.

Thanks for the support!!
