Odd IE6 failure (YECH) on novus
« on: January 10, 2008, 11:21:32 AM »

Hi,

I am trying to create a template from the rt_novus template and in both FF as IE7 it looks ok, (altough on IE7 with to few content the left contend border seems to dissapear).
Ofcourse u got no idea of what im talking about without screenies, ye be warned, i am NOT responceble for the colors *hands out sunglasses
heres the slightly modifyed theme in FF:


heres the missing left border in IE7:


And heres the IE6 one:

What am i doing wrong?
I nicked the Sunflair from the rt_modernbizz logo (the css part and created a new div in the main html from novus) could that perhaps cause this?
Please dont go to hard on me, i am trying  Grin

Would it be possible for you to use the Additional Options -> Attach, feature on this forum for your images/screenshots. Imageshack and/or other external image sites are blocked by Internet filters which can halt the solving process Smiley

For the IE7 issue, you may wish to increase margin-left in template_css.css

Quote
#main-column {
margin-left:200px;
}

For the IE6 issue, I think that is because you are using a table in the side column for your menu.

I had tried this but without a result, I still have the same problems with novus as written and shown above

Sorted the lefthand line, it seems that (and that concerns the IE6 issue aswel imo) that the modulepositsions top, user1 and 2 are causing it when left empty, and therfore not showing on the demo template.
Is there a nifty way to exclude those 3 positions whitout making the text dissapear in IE6?

Slightly confused by your question, you want no positions but you want the text?

I have a similiar problem. I'll try to be crystal clear:
Let's say you modify your Novus demo site here on RT.
The left column is too basic for a realistic site, so add something below the menu on the left hand side, let's say a poll module and a user login module. Perhaps a random image block as well.
Then, you probably don't want the the newsflash hilite module (below the logo) and the two sample modules on every page on the site, the front page is enough. On all other pages, that content is king. So only show them on the front page.

That's what I have done. And then the problems appear in IE6. If I have a static page (well I use 1.5 so it's really an article with no category), the main column is blank until the left column ends, and THEN the content is displayed in the main column. Just like in the IE6 dump image above where the text "Ik ervar dat..." (whatever that means) begins where the menu block ends. It's exactly the same for me, and I'm only using the standard modules mentioned above. Disabling the random image doesn't help (I initially thought it was a width problem). Note that this happens only with static pages and "contact". My news page is working fine.

To sum it up, as soon as I add something below the left menu, problems arise.
What happens when you do this on your demo server?

Thanks for your time. I hope this can be solved, otherwise I have to use another template for my site. IE6 sucks but is pretty widely used unfortunately...

Could try the following

#main-column { zoom: 1; }
