not sure if this is correct place to post this observation

Hi

while creating new template design using 3 collumn (holy grail) free template.
I saved images to images dir added base ref.
previewed in Firefox all ok.
using non startup page.
previewed in IE6 no graphics using localhost/modx.
seemed strange should have shown startup page.
cleared cache closed Firefox & IE6
opened Firefox localhost/modex got startup page
opened IE6 localhost/modex got none startup page still no image with alt text.

This is my second atempt at producing a template first on my own worked with both browsers no problems.

Seems a great CSS not that I am an expert (spent three days reading to get the hang of things

That’s why they call it the "holy grail"

The site in my sig uses a three-column layout that works in IE6 (at least it did the last time I checked).

If you link to your images using relative paths don’t forget to add the base tag in your head.

<base href="[(site_url)]" />

I was not so concerned at the lack of images but that different start pages showed up in Firefox & IE6

did use <base href="[(site_url)]" />

IE6 picks up <base href="[(site_url)]" /> as it displays alt title

thanks for quick replies

by the way am based in Cape Town SA

could someone please advise re correct posting place

still seems a GREAT CSS

thanks to all that put in the hours

Hi BobRay

Great site
works in IE6 but not same squashed on left (only 800 wide I think)
unfortunately many people in SA still using IE6 so wanted same look

Could you post a link to the site or share it with one of us so we can look at what your doing and see if we have some other ideas. If you don’t want to post here send one of us a PM with the address?

as stated before working on local machine (localhost/modx)

so can’not give address

Firefox also used non startup page with no errors after i switched on machine this morning but when i refreshed page startup page displayed.
Then started IE 6 on localhost/modex and none startup page displayed with errors refreshed page did no change(strange).

Hope this helps

I did not even get to take the style from html file can send you html if you like.

Hi BobRay

I had to widen a div to accommodate a longer main menu. I probably need to adjust the min-width for IE6, though my motivation to support a browser that old is low (especially since the upgrade is free) and I no longer have an IE6 machine to test with.

thanks BobRay was not suggesting you mod your site.

but some people in africa still running win98.

so i feel need to support them with this site.

most people still on dial-up.

I only have 384 k internet with 1 gig cap.

welcome to life in SA.

Ouch. That’s harsh.

Won’t Win98 run IE7 at least?
