IE7 (sometimes) not showing website properly

We are a bit desperate... We have launched our website http://www.buscounviaje.com We tested all browsers (IE6-8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, ...) to make sure everything was OK. However, there are some users (IE7 and IE6) that are complaining that they see everything 'white' with black letters (i.e. CSS styles not being applied). One use...

Background-image won't change using jquery in IE6

z-index problem in IE6

I have been struggling with a z-index problem in IE6 for quite some time now. I require part of the 'header' portion in my website to open up (using jQuery), and cover a portion of the 'content' section which comes after it. The thing works like a charm on all the browsers I've tested it on (Firefox, Chrome, Opera), but IE6 instead pushe...

ExtJS JsonStore partially loads data in IE6 and fails

I have a JsonStore used by a ComboBox, and in IE6 it only partially loads the JSON. It cuts off after a point, which causes the JsonStore to fail. In FF and Chrome this works fine, and it even works if I run Fiddler.. I'm using ExtJS 3.2.0 and the webserver is a .Net Development server (vs2008) and runs locally. I've also found that ...

Stretching width correctly to 100% of an inline-block element in IE6 and IE7

I have the following markup, where I am attempting to get the right hand side of the second table to align with the right hand side of the heading above it. This works in IE8, Firefox and Chrome, but in IE6/7 the table is incorrectly stretched to fill the width of the page. I'm using the Trip Switch hasLayout trigger to apply inline-blo...

IE6 (yes, IE6) css spacing issue

I'm building a page which works fine in all browsers except IE6, where a small space appears below the cart. The background also has a gap in IE6, so I'm wondering what might be causing that, as it's probably related to the main issue. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it! Many thanks. ...

javascript framework IE6 compatibility

I want to determine the best javascript framework to use in order to maintain IE 6 compatibility. Specifically I want to know which best supports IE6 - Dojo or JQuery.

I need a div with a height of exactly 1em minus 1px. This can be achieved in most browsers like this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <style type="text/css"> .helper { /* background-color: black; */ position: absolute; ...

Whenever I do something other than closing the popup, I start getting javascript "object required" errors at line 2, but only when I try to scroll up and down the page. The popup is ope...

CSS compilers and converting IE hacks to conditional css

Skip to bottom for question, but first, a little context. So I have been looking into CSS compilers (like Sass & Less) for a while, and have been really interested in them, not because they help me understand anything easier (I've been doing css for a couple of years now) but rather they cut down on cruft and help me see things easier. ...

Use any CSS compiler (Sass, Less) to generate the selector

So I've recently been playing around with CSS compilers, but I have no idea how (or if it's possible) to dynamically generate pieces of a selector. For instance, let's say I wanted to make mixins to get display: inline-block; to work cross browser. I would have to do the styles, yeah, but I would have to do the IE6/7 selector hacks ...

jquery ui dialog and our dearest friend, ie6

I'm using the jquery ui dialog for a modal popup dialog. It's working great in Firefox/Chrome but terrible in ie6. Problem: When I show the dialog in ie6, the browser window grows and automatically scrolls down to the bottom. The height increase and automatic scroll-down is equal to the height of the jquery dialog. I can scroll up and...

Bizarre Son of Suckerfish ie6/ie7 problem - 2 letters from right-most dropdown menu also appearing on left side of screen

I'm interning for an NGO in India and trying to fix their website, including updating their menu so it's not the last item on the page to load, and it's centered on the screen. Everything works well enough but when I try out my new menu in IE6, I get this weird error where the content below the menu is padded an extra 30px or so and the ...

Employer wants direct, no-hack, ie6 support for CSS. Should I talk him out of it?

I'm currently employed by a website Designer, he gets the clients and sends me a mockup in a fireworks file, and I send him the html/css/js. The problem is that he wants direct ie6 compatibility for every site I build. That is, no conditional ie6 hack, no separate style sheets. A lot of my html has suffered because of it. I just started ...

I know. The dreaded ugly browser we don't want to support, but, it seems it couldn't be simpler to crash this thing. The URL The images gallery is a Joomla Plugin(Sigplus) and works fine with all other standard browsers. In IE it was not showing correctly, all the images were showing in one line vertically one below the other. But the ...

IE6 rendering bug. Some parsed <li> elements are losing their closing tags.

I have been working with IE6 for many years [sob], but have never seen this particular bug before, and I can't seem to find a reference to it on the Web. The problem appears to be with how IE6 is parsing the HTML of a nested list. Even though the markup is correct, IE6 somehow munges the code when it is parsed, and drops the closing tags...

Is there a one fix solution for all IE6 problems? One HTC/jQuery file that fixes IE6 problems like PNG, background position, hover, (even) rounded corners... I'm just too tired to look for all fixes, test them and put them in separately. ...
