Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Dear Cherry Zenners

Microsoft IE is sending me crazy, and I'm writing to ask for help to keep my sanity.

For some reason the "navMain" bar on my site is located correctly in both Firefox and Safari, but is way over to the right in IE. I've read the forum, played with the CSS and used www.firebugger.com - all without success.

Is anyone familiar with this problem?

My test site (identical problem to the production site) is test.possumbooks.com.au

Thanks very much in advance for any help.

I must ask what version of IE are you using? Because on mine it looks fine!

Hi, I managed to do this but there is a black box arround my add to cart button, any ideas on how to remove it?

Hi

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I would like to move the price etc down a bit. Maybe so the price aligns with the start of the description. Here is a link to a page:http://www.thehorsestall.com.au/stor...&cPath=144_146

Maybe this will help you. Everything is separated into nicely ordered chunks. You have to open up includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php and find the add to cart section, and move it where you'd like it.

I have no trouble moving it down on the product info page. It is the product listing page where it will not move.

Thanks tncproweb. :smile: Now that's a bit embarrasing. :blush: I've just realised I'm using an old IE (namely 7), rather than the current version (8). And after I installed 8 the site looks fine. I was using my work laptop and 7 is the corporate standard.

So while it's great to know it works on 8, unfortunately according to http://www.netmarketshare.com/browse...e.aspx?qprid=3 27% of the world still uses IE6 and IE7, which don't work. Which means that 27% of the people landing on my site are likely to be put off by what looks like a poorly designed site. I certainly would be.

Are there any tricks for fixing IE6/IE7 issues, while not wrecking the site for the newer browsers?

Thanks!

Possum.

Regarding the site width of my new but not released site at createadesign.net/demo
In IE the site neatly fills the screen
on Firefox it is smaller than the screen width
Being a rank amateur, I am hesitant to play around with width's etc but would rather be guided by some-one who knows what they are doing.
Thanx in advance,
Rufusclc

Got this one figured out. Home link is now showing and working.
