My website is having Internet Explorer issues. Man, who does like using IE? They have more problems then any other browser, it gets kind of annoying. lol

If anyone can help or help recommend a programmer to help me out, then it would be greatly appreciated!.. The website is rozierforcircuitjudgedotcom (joomla site) and when viewed in IE 8 the right side modules can not be seen and when viewed in IE 6 the content on home page, and a few other pages, is all screwed up :confused:

I can send you screen shots of what it looks like if that helps. I can't seem to find anyone on Elance that can help. Time sensitive so any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thank You All!

  • IE8 has a developer tool (a rip-off of FireBug for the Firefox browser) that lets you edit and tinker with CSS "live" on a site.

    It's excellent for pinpointing what it causing the trouble with IE layouts.

    Here's a blog post about it: Elegant Code FireFox+Firebug vs IE8 Developer Toolbar

    Hopefully you know a bit about CSS in order to troubleshoot this yourself... otherwise you'll have to find a willing coder, I suppose.

  • Doesn't display properly in Firefox 3.5 as well.
    The code isn't really organized with a mixture of inline styles so it may take some time to debug unless it's a simple width problem (the left or right side has too much width to fit the designated width for the content).
    Maybe you could try posting at rentacoder.
  • 1. Remove your inline styles in the HTML and put them into your CSS stylesheets, for easier readability and later editing
    2. Implement a reset stylesheet, such as the one at CSS Tools: Reset CSS
    3. Your CSS has floats where they're not needed, and vica versa, which are classic issues for layout bugs. Either read up about these and gain a better understanding of CSS, or get somebody else to redo the CSS.
    4. Your HTML is bloated. Not as important, but you have a lot of unecessary HTML divs and other elements to achieve what is quite a simple header / content / sidebar / footer layout. Again, redo this or get somebody else do to this.
  • This is my stock answer for such questions.

    The HTML is not valid, so fix it.

    The CSS is not valid, so fix it.

    If you still have problems, report back.
  • well even css ... it really depends on the browsers whether it can renders css2, css3 ... plus not all css syntax can be used across browsers, have to be careful on this.
