Zencart displaying incorrectly in new IE

Hi there,

I hope this doesn't double post!

I have just finished another uneventful installation of the fabulous Zencart, not even done with customization (yes I donate! I can't live without it!), but something is amiss.

The site looks fine on my Firefox and my outdated (because I never use it) IE, but when visiting the person I installed it for it looks horrible (header_bg overlaps and other junk). Her friend reports the same issues. Her configuration is newest IE with VISTA. I installed Firefox for her, so she could at least see the site the way it supposed to look.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Re: Zencart displaying incorrectly in new IE

You need to increase the height of #logoWrapper in stylesheet.css to at least the height of your header image.

Re: Zencart displaying incorrectly in new IE

Hello,

Thanks for the help with that. I see where it references the background header image but I have some conversational (maybe) on this subject.

Why does it display properly in Firefox? My outdated IE? with no change.
Why does the Zencart default template display properly? The default CSS is height is 75px and the default header_bg is 110.

Thanks!

Knowing IE, I dont think you have to ask such question. Each version introduce a new set of bugs, I hope they at least have a consistent set of bugs, but they dont.

Slight OT - but if you are going to be designing websites, I would suggest you have IE6, IE7 & IE8 available for checking your layouts.

If you are talking to me, yes I do have that and yes I know what you are talking about Kim :). We will have a totally different layout for ie6, since the da.. brower cant handle png transparent well.
