CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I'm customizing the default template and used IE as the tool to check my webpage.

In firefox I noticed that the positioning is a bit off.
Not by much, but enough to make it sloppy.

I also noticed this with other websites.

Is this something I have to live with or is there something I can do about it?

Thanks

I also noticed that with IE and FF, don't know if it is the same but in IE there is al the time room made for the scrollbar, even when he is not needed, in FF this is not the case.

I'm thinking of using the browser styler. Though it's a pitty it would make things more complicated.

I would love to have one compatible version of my site!

Is the browser styler any good?

first check that you have valid html

then check your css (some of the hacks used in default templates wont validate)

After that try to create a minimal test case of your problem and post a link here. Usually these problems are IE bugs and there are fixes floating around the net. (usually the problem is to identify the bug and find out whats it called)

Hope this helps

Thanks a lot for your help.

What I'm gonna do use another more valid template and build from there.

If that doesn't work out either I'll post the problems here.

What you have is an IE tweaked template if you had used Firefox to check your progress then checked it in IE you would have noticed it the other way around, I use Ff to get my templates/sites the way I like then check IE for any IE specific hacks I need to apply to work around it's inability to understand the box model standard using this hack...

#content {firefox and other standards compliant browser styling}

* html body #content {IE specific styling to help it}

I always put the IE one directly below the other.
