CHALLENGE: $5 Paypal to the first one who finds the bug!

Have you tried using the "if" statement?

By using this statement in the head section you can link the page to a different CSS file that is made just for IE6 or whatever.

Note this is only read by IE so it has no effect on other browsers. To link to a different stylesheet you would use this in the head section of your page and of course create a different stylesheet. IE6 has problems with current CSS standards so it is necessary to do this if you want all your state of the art to work properly in earlier versions of IE.

Thanks Ronc

I've tried removing that bit of code altogether and it still shows the page in funny text format (but at least doesn't produce the "error on page" message in IE)..

Cheers

If anyone has any insights or can help pls PM me...really can't manage to debug this

Thanks!

It has a few errors; look.

Start with this

jQuery('#page').append("<div class='crap-browser-warning'>You're using a old and buggy browser. Switch to a <a href='http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/' onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.mozilla.com/firefox/?referer=');">normal browser</a> or consider <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer' onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer?referer=');">upgrading your Internet Explorer</a> to the latest version</div>");


Remove whatever plugin this is telling them to upgrade their IE6 of change the onclick="..." to onclick='...' or onclick=\"


This will stop the rest of the JS from running (including your jQuery theme .. which also has bugs)



you can't embed " when you begin your string with " without escaping it with \

I hate to disagree with everyone on here, but here is what you should do first:

Don't start by editing the code, that is the last thing you want to try in Wordpress.

This looks exactly like a plugin conflict. Actually, I've seen this happen before. It can also be a conflict with a cache plugin like W3 super Cache and some other plugin. Most plugins are developed on a voluntary basis so there are often conflicts that can crash some functionality on your page.

The process to troubleshoot it would be as follows:

1) YOU MUST TEMPORARILY TURN OFF YOUR PLUGINS BUT FIRST MAKE NOTE OF WHAT YOU ARE USING: Go to your "plugins" screen, turn the view of your browser to a low enough view that you can see a list of all your plugins, then take a screen shot and save it, or just write down a list of your plugins.
2) THEN TURN THEM OFF: Select the "All" button and choose "Deactivate" for all the plugins.
3) EVALUATE THE RESULT: If the problem goes away, then it is a plugin problem (a conflict between two plugins), not a theme problem, which would mean you should ignore everything on this thread that people have told you to do. In this case, you must slowly turn the plugins back on to watch and see if one will crash the site. Start with two or three plugins at a time and turn them on, and check your home page. If you use a "page cache" plugin then it should stay off until the last, because you want to see how your Wordpress is updating the home page. If you find that the problem comes back when you turn on a certain plugin, then you have FOUND THE PROBLEM. You will probably have to just remove that plugin and replace it with a different plugin.
4) Even if my ideas are wrong, it is important that you do the above steps first BEFORE YOU EDIT CODE so you can eliminate the most likely possibilities of plugin conflicts.
5) However, if the problem is still there with all the plugins turned off, then it is NOT a plugin, and it is probably the theme. YOU SHOULD NOT TRY TO EDIT THE THEME unless you have a LOT of experience with code, and then if it is an old theme or especially a FREE theme then just trash it and find a newer theme. You need to take a look at the theme publishing date and then what version of Wordpress you are using. If your theme is older than one year and your Wordpress is recent (like 3.0.5) then you should get a new theme, because if you have one problem with an older theme then you will have many. This can happen with older free themes because the original maker(s) do not have the money to update the themes to run with current Wordpress cores. If you decide that it is NOT a plugin and it is the theme, then get a different theme, such as buying a premium theme that has support and has been updated for current Wordpress cores. Editing an old theme will not solve your problem because Wordpress has gone through many changes even in the last year.

Hope that helps.

You are not including the style sheets properly. firefox is smart but IE is not. so you need to properly mention the style sheet paths and it will start working on IE also.


mainly you need to modify these lines,

<style type="text/css">
@import "http://myforextradingsuccess.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/style.css";
@import "http://www.myforextradingsuccess.com/?mystique=css";
</style>
<!--[if lte IE 6]><link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="http://myforextradingsuccess.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/ie6.css" type="text/css" /><![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]><link media="screen" rel="stylesheet" href="http://myforextradingsuccess.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/ie7.css" type="text/css" /><![endif]-->

and put these lines instead of the above lines,

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://myforextradingsuccess.com/wp-content/themes/mystique/style.css" />


In the worst case, we may better put all the style sheet code in the header.php itself.
Just see warriorforum code, you will see they have just pasted their full css code in header instead of calling the filename.
I am online on Skype, ping me if you need help.
