Problem with Jazz Cafe and IExplorer

pantu · Post by **pantu** » Mon Feb 05, 2007 1:12 pm

Hi guys,
i'have found this site, this system, and this forum
very useful for my purpose,
to create a simple blog for my classmates...

http://www.perugialife.it/radicidipietra/

I have installed the Jazz Cafe template,
and i have tried to personize it.

But i have i problem,
when i put some news,
in Iexplorer the main content div and the sidebar (on the right) one
doens't match anymore.
Instead no problems with Firefox or Safari.

I think the problem is for the div aligment,
but i can't find a solution!

can you help me?

i post two images,

Explorer:

Safari:

Sorry for this stupid questione, however

I think you'll find that the content is there, just pushed to the bottom. YellowLed has been fighting stuff like this for a while; perhaps he has some insight. (Cue YellowLed, from stage left.)

Who, me?

You're right, I encountered similar problems with the Grunge template, but I solved them by using a different type of layout. Plus, I've never looked at the Jazzcafe code, so this is a little ad-lib ... let's see ...

Hm.

My first suggestion would be to assign a fixed width to #sidebar like this:

Code: Select all

#sidebar {
   background-color: transparent;
   margin-left: 530px;
   padding: 0 10px 0 0;
   width: 250px;
}

250px because the container is 750px wide and #main takes up 500px of that - maybe something like 245px will work even better.

I'm sorry that I don't have the time right now to check this out before posting it, but it's 1:04 a.m. local time ... maybe I can take a closer look at the code tomorrow.

WOW!!!
great it works

thanks a lot!
i think the problm was, as you have right said,
in the width of the sidebar,

IExplorer needs to read a fix width for it!
cause is a mistery...

i have reduced the sidebar left padding
and i have fixed the widht to 200px

thank you very much,
i have ever sad that german people are too much likely

greetings from Italy
