information box not showing properly in explorer

Could some please check out my website using internet explorer at https://www.praiseandplay.com/catalog

For some reason the information box is not being displayed properly and I just can not figure out why. Do I have some bad code somewhere or would this just be a zen cart thing? Not sure. Please help. :(

Re: information box not showing properly in explorer

Are you referring to what appears to be extra space below the cream colored content and the bottom bar ?

Re: information box not showing properly in explorer

If you mouse over the information box entries in IE they appear for me but if I refresh they are gone again.

I think that this is the IE ' peek-a-boo ' bug and you can search here for that and the solution, It is an IE thing BTW but I have not seen this with many install that I have done so you might also review what you have altered.

Re: information box not showing properly in explorer

You're right. This is the IE peek-a-boo bug. I've done some searching on the internet about it, and it is unfortunate everyone has to deal with this IE mishap. I'm going to go ahead and search all of my code to see if I can find anything. Maybe the firefox html validator will help. Not sure. But I'll give it a go. Thanks for the help anyway.

Re: information box not showing properly in explorer

There's a post about the peek a boo bug that lists 3 or 4 different fixes that have worked for different posters myself included, you can find it here:

Maybe one of them will make the hole you gotta dig a lil less deep:smartass:

Re: information box not showing properly in explorer

Funny, it works for me in IE 5+ for Mac. Where it goes crazy is in Firefox; your right hand column login fields are spreading beyond the edge of the box. Firefox 1.5.0.6

a favor:

I'm also having trouble in IE:
have a look here..

Thanks

Re: information box not showing properly in explorer

TinaS, thank you so much for that link and advice. It works great now, with the exception of the extended white background that goes down too far, but the links are there. The one that worked for me was: adding line-height:1.2; to centerColumn and body. I would try the others, but like they say, "if it's not broke, don't fix it". Wow, your a genius. Thank you.
