Still debugging, but hope is in view; call for volunteers

Okay, everyone, the next major update in the code will be sometime this weekend, and hopefully that will fix a few lingering bugs in the up-to-date browsers.

The next big step is to try to get these suckers working in IE5 and 6. Fortunately, [info]sherlock has pointed out a wonderful bit of code that will let us direct bits of css toward specific browsers and OS without relying on hacks or quirks.

So I am now calling for any volunteers who are familiar with the kind of css the older IE versions need, since I am really not. If anyone can come up with any code, any code at all, to make the new html work in IE 5 or 6, we can take that code and crank it into the style sheets without disturbing the layout in up-to-date browsers.

Is that brilliant or what?

So if you are or know anyone who is good with css for IE, please consider pitching in on this. Please spread the word if you can.

I will be back on Monday, after I've gotten my paper grading done. *salutes*

Problems with IE6; help needed in testing

Okay, it looks like IE6 is throwing a real fit about the new layouts. See the very helpful screenshots in this comment.

I've given IJ-sitepage-body a width, so it should have layout and IJ-sitepage-nav should accept absolute positioning within it; apparently the problem is something more arcane.

If anyone has a copy of IE6 in easy reach and wants to poke at the problem, I'd hugely appreciate the help. The only copy I can get to is remote and I can't connect to anything /else/ while using it, which makes testing changes a bit of a trial.

Any ideas are welcome!

ETA: Height of the header is part of it; this... is going to be a pain. I might actually need to add a clearing div to the html code. More news as I can catch it.

ETA2: Triumph! Maybe. I think I've gotten it to play nicely with older IE, but if anyone has a copy of IE5 or 6 hanging around and could give it a test-drive once the code is live, that would be very helpful.

Debugging in process

Okay, a workaround has been made in the new scheme style sheets that should fix the gap-at-top problem; if everyone could go and see if it has, that would be good. Also, if you find the sidebar menu running off the bottom of the page, please tell me.

The dialogue boxes and "save" button accent boxes should be in place, but are still glitchy; will be working on that. Of course, if anyone recalls off the top of their heads whether margin:auto works in IE and FF, or how to make it, I'd love to hear.

PM page should no longer have a scroll bar in FF, and I'm still working on turning the Portal headers black.

If there are any other layout bugs coming up, let me know where and what. Suggestions for fixes are always welcome too.


ETA: Okay, the accent boxes are becoming a serious sticking point. It's possible I will have to go back to tables with these. *growls with annoyance*


ETA2: Still working on the bug in FF2 that produces scrollbars in the sidebar layout. Also still trying to override some stubborn css in the customize area. I think the rest of it is good to go, though. Let me know if anyone finds more bugs or things that are hard to read or anything like that!
