Novius IE 7 Issue
« on: August 06, 2008, 02:03:23 PM »
While not a huge issue, there is a bit of layout mystery in IE7 using the Novus template here:

www.familypsychsolutions.com

The issue is the content of the main body not fill the space to the right-hand edge.

The site looks fine in FF / Opera / Safari.

I was figuring I could just edit the CSS for IE7 but I'm having trouble figuring out the code:

Code:
<?php if (isIe6()) :?>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/css/template_ie6.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Normally I do browser detection with something like:
Code:
<!--[if IE]>
<link href="IE.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

But how to implement that in the Novus index.php is mystifying me.  Any help or suggestions on how to get things looking right in all the browsers would be most appreciated.

Just use

<!--[if IE7]>
<link href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/css/template_ie7.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

That was the ticket.  But I'm still having trouble with the layout in IE7.

I copied the template_ie6.css and renamed it template_ie7.css trying to test the issue out, but I'm still running into issues.

Also for testing, I re-downloaded the template and installed it, replacing the index.php and css files, but still no good. . . Is it my browser ?

Thanks again for all your help.

Please find attached the screenshot of the site you requested.

This is happening on both my deskop and laptop, running IE7.

The yellow area does not appear when viewing the site in FF, Opera or Safari. . .

Hope it's something simple!

Ah, basically find

<?php mosMainbody(); ?> or <jdoc:include type="component" /> (if you are using J! 1.5) and change it to

<table><tr><td>
<?php mosMainbody(); ?>
</td></tr></table>

Or

<table><tr><td>
<jdoc:include type="component" />
</td></tr></table>
