Hi all –

Some info:
Photoshop CS on OS X (10.3.7)

The following page:
http://www.geocities.com/chris_ciotti/Holding/site-template- sliced.html was generated with Photoshop CS and uses CSS for positioning. The page validates (unfortunately, you can’t validate it from the geocities server as they paste in a bunch of crud which hoses the validation) but the top row of buttons (home, about etc) do not show up in IE 6 (win), they are about 8px too far down. I’m not really sure why this is as it looks fine in every other browser I’ve tested it with (Win: Netscape/Mozilla, Firefox, Opera; Mac: Omniweb, Opera, IE, Safari, Firefox; *nix: The KDE one, mozilla, Firefox). Can anyone shed some light on this, it’s making me nuts! Thanks.

Simple: the day Internet Explorer is actually standards compliant, the world will come to an end.

You have the choice of hand-editing to work with IE, or having compliant code.

Tell me about it. I ended up using a browser detect and dropping in the correct values. A hack indeed.

This is one reason why I avoid web design. The simple and elegant solutions don’t work with the majority browser.

I hate to mention it, but the Mac version of IE may very well give yet another result on the same page. Hope this doesn’t matter too much.

I’m on a mac (OS X 10.3.7) and it looks OK but thanks for the heads up.

I hear what you’re saying regarding avoiding design – it’s maddening that the standards have been public for many many years and the most popular browser is the most problematic. Perhaps Longhorn (or whatever it’ll be called) will bring a compliant browser <snicker>.

Firefox is, of course, complaint, as have been the Mac browsers, generally. But IE isn’t the worst. The worst has always been Nutscrape. Apart from being a pain in the ass to use, it had a problem with tables through several iterations which was a pain to design around. Considering the creators of Nutscrape originally designed tables it’s ironic really 🙂
