Internet Explorer 7.0 Released - HELP!

**cfsheridan** · 27 Sep 2008, 05:11 AM

I apologize profusely for thread necromancy, but I cannot get my brain around this problem.

I have installed the IE stylesheet overrides, and both Firefox and IE are loading the text--both in the commented out form.

Examples

Page source from Firefox

Code:

<head>
<title>No Quarter Coffee, Grean Beans for Homeroasters</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Africa Central America Far East South America Special Lots green coffee, coffee roasting, homeroaster, green coffee beans, coffee beans " />
<meta name="description" content="No Quarter Coffee :  - Africa Central America Far East South America Special Lots green coffee, coffee roasting, homeroaster, green coffee beans, coffee beans" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="author" content="The Zen Cart&trade; Team and others" />
<meta name="generator" content="shopping cart program by Zen Cart&trade;, http://www.zen-cart.com eCommerce" />

<base href="http://www.noquartercoffee.com/zencart/" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/custom/css/stylesheet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/custom/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/custom/css/ie_stylesheet.css" />
<![endif]-->

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="includes/templates/custom/css/print_stylesheet.css" />
</head>

Page source from IE6

Code:

<head>
<title>No Quarter Coffee, Grean Beans for Homeroasters</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Africa Central America Far East South America Special Lots green coffee, coffee roasting, homeroaster, green coffee beans, coffee beans " />
<meta name="description" content="No Quarter Coffee :  - Africa Central America Far East South America Special Lots green coffee, coffee roasting, homeroaster, green coffee beans, coffee beans" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="author" content="The Zen Cart&trade; Team and others" />
<meta name="generator" content="shopping cart program by Zen Cart&trade;, http://www.zen-cart.com eCommerce" />

<base href="http://www.noquartercoffee.com/zencart/" />

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/custom/css/stylesheet.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/custom/css/stylesheet_css_buttons.css" />
<!--[if IE]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/templates/custom/css/ie_stylesheet.css" />
<![endif]-->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="print" href="includes/templates/custom/css/print_stylesheet.css" />
</head>

Any help is greatly appreciated. Main style problems are occurring with the mainwrapper not going to the bottom of the page in IE.

thanks,
Chad

This is again an old thread, but it might be useful for someone to know that the commented-out stylesheet link is supposed to appear no matter the browser. It will be ignored by all browsers other than IE, and IE will interpret the comment and activate the stylesheet to handle its bugs.

IE is very tricky and I am having a difficult time trying to resolve an issue I thought was resolved. Here it is again:

On Firefox, my product page is displayed as I want it:

http://shopvintage.planetaddress.com...products_id=85

The additional images are correctly aligned. The cart box and all.

BUT! in IE there seem to be a little below and not in alignment.

http://shopvintage.planetaddress.com...products_id=85

SO! I downloaded the suggested mod, make the corrections, created ie_stylesheet.css (used the Developer's Tool on IE 8).

AND....nothing changed....same problem!

The product display is STILL the same.

SO.....how can I finally fix this?

I would appreciate anyone helping me to finally resolve this issue.

Thanks!

Perfectly said!

It was suggested to me by another forum member and now I am glad I chose to use it.
