Hi there,
I am having a few problems with my website http://antobbo.webspace.virginmedia.com/photography/testing/home.htm in IE6.
Now, I don't want to waste too much time on this, as in I don't want ti to be perfect but I just want it to be looking decent in IE6. I created a separate css for IE6 called ie6-and-down.css and few things work but others really don't.
The problems I am having are:
with the homepage; the box with the slideshow doesn't work as in the picture doesn't change and the box overlaps everything else in the background. I also have a kind of nested frame which somehow breaks in IE6. this is the relevant bit referring to the homepage slideshow in the ie6 css:
/* PICTURE BOX HOMEPAGE*/
.picture_box_home
{
clear:both; /* need to add this to make sure the navigation doesn't overlap it. Strangely, this doesn't happen in IE*/
/*background-color:red;*/
border:7px solid #7d003a;
width:618px;
min-height:415px;
margin:1px auto;
}
.in_pic
{
border:4px solid white;
width:610px;
min-height:407px;
margin:0 auto;
}
.in_pic1
{
border:4px solid #7d003a;
width:602px;
min-height:399px;
margin:0 auto;
/*background: #000000 url(../images/test1.jpg) no-repeat;*/
}
.slideshow
{
width:602px;
min-height:399px;
margin:0 auto;
}
/*END OF HOMEPAGE */
slightly different from the bit I use for the rest of the browsers:
/* PICTURE BOX*/
.picture_box_home
{
clear:both; /* need to add this to make sure the navigation doesn't overlap it. Strangely, this doesn't happen in IE*/
/*background-color:red;*/
border:7px solid #7d003a;
width:618px;
min-height:415px;
margin:10px auto;
position:relative;
/*background: #000000 url(../images/test1.jpg) no-repeat;*/
}
.in_pic
{
border:4px solid white;
width:610px;
min-height:407px;
margin:0 auto;
position:absolute;
}
.in_pic1
{
border:4px solid #7d003a;
width:602px;
min-height:399px;
margin:0 auto;
position:absolute;
/*background: #000000 url(../images/test1.jpg) no-repeat;*/
}
.slideshow
{
width:602px;
min-height:399px;
margin:0 auto;
position:absolute;
}
I am really at loss on how to get this to work in IE6. As you can see I tried to remove few things - which is why the css for IE6 is different - like the position:absolute;
but no joy.
The second problem is with the pages with the pictures page, say this: http://antobbo.webspace.virginmedia.com/photography/testing/animal.htm
the script in IE6 doesn't work, the pictures don't change, and again, I have absolutely no idea why that doesn't work. The curious thing is though that if I check the local copy of this website which I have on my machine with IE6 the script works, the pictures change fine, but when I check the live site it doesn't work...
Does anybody have any suggestion at all?
thanks a lot
