Too Many Browsers

[dzd]

Hi,
I was wondering if some of you with windows based systems could check out my directory with m$ explorer. I am on a mac and the mac version is now a few years old. It seems to be looking ok in safari and firefox. However explorer seems to have a width problem on the main cat page thats driving me nuts trying to fix it. if its just showing up on the Mac version I will just let it go as most of the Mac users have moved away from explorer anyway. or if anyone sees what I'm missing as far as the fix it would be appreciated.

Thanks Simon,

Looks like the sub cats are not showing up at all in explorer :cry: . Also the red nav bar is messed up..that didn't show up in my version of Ie.
back to the drawing board I guess.

yeah, categories are not displayed but when you mouse over them it seems they present. you can even click to go to subcategory, etc.. it seems they are all of the same colour

I think this may do it. I changed the top nav links a little.
I checked it through a couple of valadator sites had the normal alt tag warnings.
coments/sugestions are welcome. I still have to work on the links for the rest of the site.

Thanks

well, now your navbar looks much better but you still have problems with categories box. if you try to make categories box with no background they are shown ok. Please try to use tables instead of divs and possible that will fix your problem with categories. For say now you have the following:
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">{$lang.categories}</div>
<div class="box-content">{$categories}</div>
</div>
please try make something like this:
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">{$lang.categories}</div>
<div class="box-content" style="background-color: none;"><table><tr><td bgcolor="">{$categories}</td></tr></table></div>
</div>
Possible this way can be successful.

thanks I changed it to the tables. I had to adjust the padding in the css for it to look right in safari. it moved everything to the left. but the padding fixed it.
However it broke firefox moved it all to the left. but hopefully it fixed explorer?

Thanks for your help with this :D . It has been a few years since I have did any work on web sites and then it was mainly just html with a little cgi. Then the only browsers to worry about were IE and Netscape and thy were not so strict.
I'm starting this site as I got into a new hobby. I guess I will have to break out the old compaq just to check the site layout as I go along. Do you have any idea what I can do now to fix how it displays in firefox?

Again thanks for the help
Rex
