    Different layout in IE7

    I have downloaded a Joomla template for a new site and made the changes I want, and have no problems at all in Firefox. However, in IE, the layout takes up the whole page.

    To clarify: I have specifically chosen a template that shows the background tile between the different boxes/elements/components (not sure what they're called - the individual bits or blocks that make up the site!) In IE, however, the "gaps" between these are not consistent - for one thing, the wide outside edge is absent. Then the centre "column" seems to stretch over to the right, and the two little modules up top also stretch so there is little space between them.

    The CSS does allow for a separate IE7 template, but there is very little in it:

    Code:
    #content {
    	padding:0;
    	width: 96%;
    }
    #top {
    	width: 96%;
    	margin:0 0 10px 0;
    }
    #user_modules1 {
    	width: 96%;
    	margin:0 0 10px 0;
    }
    I've tried adding the different "sections", changing margins, setting the width in pixels... nothing makes any difference at all! I'm really happy with the Firefox look and would like that in IE too. Maybe I'm being picky, but that's who I am, it's just gotta be RIGHT!

    I'd really appreciate some assistance with this if someone has the patience to help out a novice... the url for the site is:



    Thanks so much,
    Jude

    The problem is that Internet Explorer just isn't a modern browser and we all have problems with it. However, fix your HTML and CSS errors first and see where we stand.

      Oh golly gosh! I assumed that since it was a "pre-created" template, with me only really changing the images, that it would be fine... I'll sift through the long list and see if I can make head or tail of it all...

      Thanks,

        Correct the errors... not sure where!

        Hi there - I've scooted along and had a look, with view source and HTML tidy... quite nifty that! Only problem is that the source and corrected code doesn't match my "edit html" template at all As this is a Joomla site and template, would it be something in the Joomla code?

        I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction here...
        Thanks,
        Jude

          CSS and HTML now sorted - still have IE layout problems

          Hi there - I've managed to resolve the HTML and CSS issues, and the IE is still an issue - worse actually, since I cannot remember where I put the .foo thingie so now sidebar images vanish and reappear in a very disturbing way! I'd be grateful if someone could assist...

          Thanks so much,
          Jude

            Have you tired to view this in FireFox or another browser?
