IE Browser issue.

Hi good people of pagelines . On a website that i am building it looks great (even if i do say so myself) in firefox on my mac but on IE 7 and 8 there is an alignment issue and the slick share icon is missing completely. http://79.170.44.83/curo.co.uk/ here is a screenshot they took in IE 8

IE does not like coding errors http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F79.170.44.83%2Fcuro.co.uk%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0 You have loads of unclosed meta's there and there are some ul errors that might be the issue.

Thanks Most of those are coming from the social media plugin and not my code and i don't thin any of them refer to the logo alignment.

so i was right - most of those errors where from the plugin and not my code. i know this as i have disabled the plugin and the vast majority of the errors have gone. the only errors remaining refer to the vimeo embed and [code]Line 397, Column 204: An img element must have an alt attribute, except under certain conditions. For details, consult guidance on providing text alternatives for images. ??¦"http://79.170.44.83/curo.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/clients.png"/

In that case, target IE in your css: [code] add_filter('body_class','browser_body_class'); function browser_body_class($classes) { global $is_lynx, $is_gecko, $is_IE, $is_opera, $is_NS4, $is_safari, $is_chrome, $is_iphone; if($is_lynx) $classes[] = 'lynx'; elseif($is_gecko) $classes[] = 'gecko'; elseif($is_opera) $classes[] = 'opera'; elseif($is_NS4) $classes[] = 'ns4'; elseif($is_safari) $classes[] = 'safari'; elseif($is_chrome) $classes[] = 'chrome'; elseif($is_IE) $classes[] = 'ie'; else $classes[] = 'unknown'; if($is_iphone) $classes[] = 'iphone'; return $classes; } [/code] Add that to platformbase/functions.php You will get a new body class if its IE you can use that to change your image alignment.

great thanks for this. one challenge for me though is that as i don't have IE and i'm on a mac i can't use firebug to work out what i need to do with the css to line it up! any ideas?

[Simon 248]

install virtualbox ;)

had a look at that - seems like a lot of work just to re-align the logo! has anyone got ie8?

[Gavin_+ 56]

has anyone got ie8? and could help me with the css i need to correct the alignment. huge internent karma would float your way. thanks
