Problem with IE PLEASE HELP!

[semsenkir]

I'm having a VERY strange problem with IE and it's driving me crazy. The webpage address is http://www.akalkurumsal.com.tr (in Turkish) running on Zen-Cart 1.3.8. The page is displayed in Firefox or Chrome flawlessly but produces a display error in IE.

Somehow, IE produces some kind of extra horizontal whitespace on the left box (exactly 30 pixels). So this extra whitespace "pushes" everything to the right, thus skewing the template. This can be seen in the attached picture. I found a workaround for this problem such as in the /template/common/tpl_main_page.php after the following code:

<td id="column_left" style="width:<?php echo COLUMN_WIDTH_LEFT; ?>;">
<?php echo zen_draw_separator($image = 'pixel_trans.gif', '1', '1');?><br />

I added:

<!--[if IE]>
<table style="width:100%;margin-right:-30px;">
<![endif]-->
<!--[if !IE]><![IGNORE[--><![IGNORE[]]>
<table style="width:100%;">
<!--<![endif]-->

This somehow brings the left box to its normal size. But this time, the border on the right side is not displayed as the negative margin erases the right border. This one beats me by far, so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks for your time..

What version of IE are you using? I just loaded it in IE8 and it's fine.

Hi,

I'm using IE7. Does it display the right border on the left column? May be hard to see since it's only 1px. Thanks for your time!..

Ah, nope. Missing the border on the right. But, because of the slight color shift it looks at first glance like it has a border. Other than it driving you crazy, (which I can relate to), I think it's fine as is.
