Design Issues
March 3, 2009 – 10:18 pm | by Matt AckersonWe’ve had some difficulties resolving cross browser display issues recently. For instance, display in Internet Explorer has been inconsistent with other, more modern browsers (Firefox, etc.). A decent percentage of our audience still uses IE6, which merits our time being devoted to this task.
One very annoying problem that I managed fix today was the IE6 float bug. For example, in IE6 when you float something to the left it will float it to the left however it will add extra margin to the left so that the div appears to be indented by about 55px. The link in the first sentence of this paragraph provides a relatively simple work around. My hope is that browsers are moving toward a more widely agreed upon set of interpretion/display rules of the W3C spec for CSS. IE7 and FF3 seem to be a positive step forward in terms of a roughly equivalent display.
List of items to fix on the site:
1) Fix positioning of navigation menu at top of page
2) Graphical hyperlinks are not clickable in IE6 (I know…)
3) Display of divs on business page
4) Display/ orientation of divs on directory page
5) other stuff that I’ll put here later…
