IE/Mac was always different from IE/Win, so it really isn’t any help.  If your machine is powerful enough, try Bochs http://bochs.sourceforge.net/.  It works great, but this old Powerbook is too slow and deficient in memory to handle it.

I did try bochs at one time, but I don’t own a copy of windows, and my concience forbids me to BitTorrent a copy of Windows, I do have a friend with a windows based PC (yes, only one of my friends on Win), so I might just have him bring his laptop here and I can make changes until it looks right.

Multi browser checking is tough business.  I wish they all worked the same.
thanks,


oh and if people get sick of websites looking horible in their browser, and we webdesigners stop being such sissies with workarounds for IE and just STICK TO WEB STANDARDS (w3.org), then those people wouldn’t use IE anymore and we wouldn’t have issues. There... Problem solved.  It is our fault as webdesigners that IE which is such a piece of trash, continues to be used.  We need to change our thinking.  The template looks fine in FireFox, Safari, Camino, OmniBrowser, Shiira, Deer Park, and Mozilla, but looks funny in IE.  Hmmm... The problem is the template or...?

Well...

You can find somebody with an old copy they have upgraded from and aren’t using any more, or somebody bought a computer with Windows bundled and didn’t use it (took it off and put on Linux, for example; I did that all the time before I went Mac). It is quite legal, even if MS doesn’t like it. It’s called "the doctrine of first sale" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-sale_doctrine, and it’s been upheld many times (depending on which district you live in! Texas and California have both ruled for this, Missouri against.). The only reason E-bay takes them off is because MS threatens with their lawyers, and E-bay doesn’t want to go through the hassle. Easier to take the sales off than to pay $$$ in court to probably win a lawsuit. MS has lots more money than E-bay.

lol

The harsh reality is that IE Win dominates the market and comes preinstalled on the majority of computers. Lots of folks won’t ever replace something unless it comes down in Windows Update. At least they’re finally getting the message and it should be significantly better with IE7. They’ve got my buddy John Gallant (positioniseverything.net) on the IE7 beta review team now, so that’s a very good thing.

I have updated this template.  This version uses the standard "MenuBuilder" snippet included in MODx, and I feel it is a more accurate translation/port of the original WordPress template.

This template, which I originally ported for "Etomite 0.6" can be viewd at http://www.scottydelicious.com/kubrick/

Scotty,
I can’t reach this page any longer...
Did you fix it too ?

Hey french frog.

I am guessing you tried to get there with IE6 on XP.  Unfortunately, I did not know CSS then like I do now, so it is not displaying well, but you can get there (although I recommend using FireFox).

http://www.scottydelicious.com/kubrick/   is broken in IE6, but...
http://www.scottydelicious.com/kubrick/index.php   should work.

However, like I said before, the CSS does not display correctly in IE6, so... Get FireFox!

Thanks a lot scotty, I do have the issue in IE6 (content is pushed down) and I don’t have it in FF.

Yeah...
If I get some time this weekend, I might try and do the CSS correctly. I use Mac OS X, so I had no idea how bad some of my templates looked in IE6 XP because of my sloppy code.

thanks for your feedback frog.
