Hey guys.. my site http://www.artdesignsneed.com has some serious gapping issues in the IE family.. especially 8 and 7. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Paulie_D… I made a child theme based on WordPress 2010 and then updated to 2011. They always use a reset. In my child theme I didn’t but used an ie stylesheet… something like this which worked with the anchor tag…

@charset “UTF-8”;
/* ensure named anchors work in IE8 */

a[top] { display: block; }

Gaps: Appear at the very top of the home page.. as if it’s “knocking” down the header in IE8. In IE 7 it’s the same and even the footer adds space below itself.

Thanks!

Thanks, Wolfcry911 IE8 looks Great!!

This is what I did.

The only thing is I can’t fix IE7. That gap is still there…

I’m I calling the IE conditional comments right? Would that help. Plus the footer has a lot of extra space below it too.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

All best,
Michael

Yeah you can use conditionall comments to target a specific browser version

If you for example want to apply some code only for IE7, you could use the following code:

I can’t really help you further though, as I don’t have IE7, I updated it to he latest version. I’m always wondering how everyone is testing it multiple browser versions, because I always update my browers and hence can’t test in older versions.

Thanks for the help with the headers! It’s looking solid in IE 7 and 8…

The footer in IE8 is solid also but IE7 isn’t coming along yet.

I use IE Tester but plan to take a look if I can on real browsers.
