Still Tweaking
By Jim Lynch on Apr 6, 2008 in Site News, WordPress
I’m still working on some adjustments to the new theme. I have lightened the background color for posts and made the text itself black. (It was a very dark brown)
Dana said that in IE6 the content was pushed down the page. I would appreciate someone taking a look now and see if it renders as it should. I hope that I’ve discovered a great fix. Dean Edwards has made, “a JavaScript library to make Microsoft Internet Explorer behave like a standards-compliant browser.” Read about it here. View the project here.
It doesn’t seem to have created any issues in FF. Of course I would appreciate knowing if your experience is different. Thanks

OK, still using IE6 — and if’n I remember, I’ll check using Firefox and AOL when I get home — here’s what I see.
1- The leading post is in it’s own textbox, with a darker aqua background, and it encompasses both the main area and extends across where the inboard right hand sidebar should be. The Day-by-Day cartoon immediately beneath it also extends through that area. The inboard right-hand sidebar begins immediately below Day-by-Day, while the outboard sidebar is full length, beginning immediately below the header graphic.
The second article begins just below where the sitemeter in the inboard sidebar sits. Using a text size of “medium, the contents of the inboard sidebar spill out slightly to the left of the sidebar, maybe five pixels, but that’s what forces the second articles below the site meter. I’ll switch to “smaller” text size, to see how that works, but I’d better send this first, or I might lose it.

OK, switching to “smaller” as the text size made no difference at all in the view.

OK, at home now, and I opened this up with Firefox. Using FF, the text in the inboard sidebar does not spill out to the left, and the text for the secondary articles begins just below Day-by-Day, at the same level as the inboard sidebar.

I don’t have a computer with IE6 anymore, so it’s hard to see the problem. I’ve tried changing a few more things. Let me know if those changes improve the way things look in that browser.
