Sidebox CSS issues in IE

[neil_barby]

hi everyone, i'm hoping somebody might be able to help me solve a niggling problem.

thanks to gjh42 for helping me out so far, and apologies for hijacking your support thread.

on my product_info page my right hand sideboxes are out by about 50 pixels to the right.

this only happens in internet explorer, and only on the product info page.

I have a main stylesheet.css, an ie_stylesheet.css and a main product_info.css

I had tried creating an ie_product_info.css but it keeps being loaded before product_info.css, and so product_info.css overrides it each time

I have been going round in circles for a while now, and just can't figure out why it's happening

many thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me, i think i'm going stir crazy i've been staring at it for days now just shaking my head and rocking back and forth.

On IE8 the page loads with errors. I'm not sure if this is what's causing it but I'd fix that first.

It's probably all the various widths you have specified conflicting with each other. For example, you have #mainWrapper set to 993px, but #contentMainWrapper, which is inside #mainWrapper, is set to 1011px. I'd start there.

Also, you have the site set to force IE7 emulation, so we don't know if it'll work in IE8 or not. I'd remove that.

thanks steve, i've removed the emulate IE line, that was something i found while going round in circles.

the widths, brilliant, i know it's something simple, it has to be to be causing me this much grief lol

it was a struggle getting zen cart to look like the rest of the site, my first foray into any real web build, so i would imagine there will be a few things left over from trying to get everything to fit.

thanks again, i'm off to work now so i will have fun on the test server tomorrow

[neil_barby]

well, thats opened up a can of worms / whoop ###### lol

i've taken the emulate IE7 line out of the html_header.php

now when i have compatibility mode switched on in IE8 the boxes are fine on all pages except product info.

then for product info i have to switch to compatibility mode off to get the boxes lined up

but when i switch the compatibility mode off, it puts the boxes correct on product_info page, but puts the product description box to the left by about 200pxls

which was why i put the emulate IE7 line in, i thought if i forced IE8 to emulate IE7 and got it to work in IE7 then all would be OK, but obviously not.

thanks to all for even looking in on what i imagine to a professional looks like crayons on a wall
