Incompatibility with new Vista IE?

This is kind of a duplicate of an issue posted by another user in General Questions. I'm putting it here for some more specific attention as it seems to be some sort of compatibility issue with Vista Explorer.

I am having a problem on a brand new installation and customization. I've not had this with any of my sites before but someone with a brand new Vista laptop (month old) is saying the header graphic "sticks" and no matter where they scroll it is in the way of the rest of the site.

I have tested this site on both Mac and PC and Firefox, IE, Opera, Safari and it's only this very brand new Vista IE that has the problem. Obviously we, as ZC developers, can't be having an issue creating sites compatible with the latest and greatest browser technologies... Development team? Is there something here to look into?

Anybody have any ideas for a fix?

In your stylesheet.css try changing the height of in this declaration to match the height of your header image which is 210px.

#logoWrapper{
height:210px;
}

Thank you Clyde. Done.

Now I just need someone to see if the problem is gone or not!

Looks gooood now

Looks fine to me too. We have a wide array of PCs here that we use for testing Zen Carts and haven't detected any particular problems with them on either of the Vista machines (some irritations with Vista, but none involving Zen Cart).

The type of behaviour that you described usually occurs when there is a problem with the structure, styling or content of a site and the browsers are being asked to do something impossible. Under these circumstances the approaches that they use to get past the problem often diverge, leading to inconsistent results.

Thanks guys.

I suspected it was a CSS issue because the Vista IE is the latest technology.

For anyone finding this in the future, all I did was adjust the HeaderWrapper style to Vertical Align Top. The default has no setting at all so it is inheriting. And I did make sure that the logo wrapper height in the style sheet matched my header image size, whereas the default template ships with the ZC logo 75px high and that setting was, infact, in the stylesheet.

So, I don't know if it was one or both of those, since I changed them both at the same time, but either way, it seemed to solve it.
