Templates and CSS in IE problem

Post by jaronoff »

Hi Everyone,
First off, love the CMS. It's great! I'm developing a site for a client and i'm running into issues with the CSS rendering crazily in Internet Explorer 6 on windows. Here's the site in question.

http://www.donohoemusic.com

Two things.
I;m using the news module to release press releases on the homepage. I got this working in IE after some hacking, but it ended up messing the other pages up. A good example of this mess up is the about page and the ensemble page. these pages, the main content area renders fine in firefox on the mac, but horribly in ie 6 on windows.

If it would help , i can include the CSS and let you know specifics....
I'm running PHP 4.4.2 on Dreamhost, Mysql. I know that it's a matter of hacking the style sheet to render correctly, i've just been staring at it too long to really make heads or tails of it anymore.

In terms of CMS stuff:
using Newsmodule.
a modified version of the "layout with 2 columns" style sheet, and the cssmenu + 2 columns template.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Try taking out the extra divs... don't forget the for content_wrap... when I look at it in firefox and use the outline tool the main content text is not inside of the main div...



     
       

And you may want to add clear:both to the hr...

div.hr {
  clear:both;
  height: 1px;
  margin: 1em;
  border-bottom: 1px dotted black;
}
