I am using Mambo CMS v 4.6.2 my site can be found http://78.129.142.25/~gatleyscou/mambo/ It looks fine in Firefox (but not version 3) however IE is a real problem. I have 4 templates and have only attempted to fix the one on the home page, so far. The general problems with IE 6 & 7are:
* The backgrounds that should be in the #imgheader, the #content_main and #blackline are not appearing. * The text in the #content_main is being cut off at the bottom.
The other templates have the above problems plus
* The drop down of the #container_inner below the #imgheader (and all the others that come afterwards.) * The #content_main has dropped down, but any change in it's width adversely effects the site in FF so I had to use :
* html #content_main { overflow-x: auto; width: expression(document.body.offsetWidth - (document.body.offsetWidth - 759)); } (This has now ensured that the site does not validate, along with some background colour issues that the validator does not really explain.)
I know I fixed both problems on the Home page template but if anyone has any better suggestions I would really love to hear someone's coherent solution rather that my botched job (which is a patchwork of internet research).
Can someone please enlighten me as to where I am going wrong as this self teaching business is leading to one very crazy individual! I know that I have a lot of divs and that this is probably causing most, if not all of my problems - hence the need for help.
Oh, BTW, I put the home template HTML (.scout) in to quirks mode, but none of the others are in it yet (I mentioned being deranged didn't I?)
