Internet Explorer problems again

Hello everyone, could you please take a look at:

http://www.trevreav.co.uk/RUBYSWEB

and tell me what you see? It works fine on Safari, Firefox & Opera on the mac, and Safari on a pc, but in Internet Explorer, everything below the horizontal white line under the logo is gone.

Just a blank page apart from the header, but will sometimes show the menu down the left.

Once again, thanks in advance for any pointers.

Trev

Apart from a hugely pixellated logo (shows up even on the small
version at the top) I think your problem may be that the animation
that loads on launch is exactly the same size as the table that
contains it; Internet Explorer is notorious for not handling overflows
well and often shoves things further down the page. Even though you
have no padding on the table, I think it may just be enough to tip
Internet Explorer over.

Thanks Paul, but even if you go to:

http://www.trevreav.co.uk/RUBYSWEB/welcometorubys.html

and any of the other off that page, the content below the line
doesn’t show.

Ah. In that case, I’ll hand it smartly over to someone who knows what
they’re talking about :slight_smile:

Hi Trev,

Looks like you have a lot of tables on the page still. Are all the
items in the layout CSS or layers?

Joe, I’ve tried to keep everything inline where possible as non layered. The only page with layers is ‘VIEWS’ as this page just wouldn’t publish otherwise.

Following on from Paul’s suggestion of content DIV’s being the same
width as the container, I’ve now reduced all inline’s on all pages,
but still no luck in IE I’m afraid. BTW, I’m working on someone
getting a better logo to me.

It’s getting to the point where I just don’t know what to do
next…roll on finishing time and Friday night in the pub!

Just trying to bump this one up to see if anyone has any thoughts as
I’m stumped.

I had a similar problem with IE once I’d updated to 5.2

Menus in one of my sites (using phplayersmenu) wouldn’t show submenus in IE only.

Eventually found that by setting the IE compatibility setting to Normal (from IE6/7) fixed it
