IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

http://www.olijfolien.nl/catalog/

loads properly only in IE8 and every other browser...

In IE7 every picture which is also a link has a nice BLU border all around, including the logo, categories' pics, etc etc. NOT really what I had in mind.

In IE6 the website just refuse to load, anything at all, I believe it could be something with the DOCTYPE declaration or with the CSS, which I believe I kept pretty simple and standard. But I am close to finish and I am just done digging, if anyone as some suggestion, I would be grateful.
Thanks

Carlo

Re: IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

Apparently IE6/7 doesn't like/honor the 'hidden' option here:

a img {
border style:hidden;}

Try changing it to:

a img {
border:none;}

(I found that, BTW, by going to IE7 mode and using the Web Developer built in to IE8 - F12. Not as good as FF Web Developer, but handy for IE issues.)

Loads fine for me in IE6, except for a white bar below navMain.

Re: IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

You should also run your HTML through the w3validator, this is available with a single click from the developers tools available with IE8 or the FireBug addon to Firefox.

In your navSuppWrapper (the menu bar in the footer), there's an extraneous </li> that causes the page not to validate. I've found that a lot of IE-related 'anomalies' are associated with invalid HTML.

Re: IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

Thanks for the tip, I duly changed the style. I can't check at the moment the white bar below navMain but I'll keep it in mind.

Re: IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

Lat9, I did it previously and I forgot to do it recently (version control...), now I run the validator and it gives me a very strange error:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F87.210.162.199%3A8888%2Fcatalog%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&No200=1&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.767#line-234

But when you go at line 234 you see that the </ul> is properly closed! I'll try to dig deeper, should you have any idea would you please share it with me?

thanks again for the effort

Carlo

Re: IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

When I ran the validator on your home page I get 7 errors , all of which are based on an extraneous </li> in/around your footer. Here's the HTML of the page where the error occurs:

230.<!--bof-navigation display -->
231.<div id="navSuppWrapper">
232.<div id="navSupp">
233.<ul>
234.</li>
235.</ul>
236.</div>
237.</div>
238.<!--eof-navigation display -->

Take a look at /includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_footer.php; the extra </li> is being introduced there.

Eheheh, I didn't upload the updated version in the remote server, test is passed now, moved the <ul><li> construct inside the php "if" statement in the tpl_footer.php. Thanks for the patience!

Re: IE6&IE7 are making me crazy...

I don't know about the browser thing, but your configure.php file(s) point to the /zencart subdirectory. I'm surprised you can see anything in the root directory.
