[SOLVED] IE6 problem in CMSMS default design

Post by marcgeldon »

Hello!

I have the following problem with the CMSMS default design and Internet Explorer 6 (IE6).

The page looks quite normal. But if you move over a link, the content (look at the printer icon) moves some pixel to the right.

I can't explain how this happens. It seems to be a problem in the CMSMS default design?

Try it for yourself:
1. Browse to www.sqlly.de
2. have a look on the printer icon on the right
3. move with your mouse cursor over a link ("Neuigkeiten" for example)
4. the printer icon moves to the right

On some other pages I have images in the content area, they also move to the right in IE6.

Does anybody now why this happens?

Hope to hear from you soon and thank you in advance.


Best wishes,

Marc

I believe this is due to some IE6 bug with floated elements. I wouldn't worry too much about it though, I don't even support IE6 on my personal sites anymore.

sorry, i cannot replicate the problem. it does not move at all on your site, or my own test install with the same template.. ie6sp2 on winxpsp2.

I see it. One fix is to add

* html #main {height:1%;}

add it after #main CSS styles.

I would personally worry about IE6 problems as there is a very large number of IE6 users still out there. if you look 3wschools.com statistics http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp it's still 34-35% of users which if second highest number after firefox. If you have one of these IE6 problems that could be sign that some other funky things start to appear. Disappearing text or some other crazy stuff.
