[Solved] MODxCMS.com homepage IE Bug!

The layout on http://www.modxcms.com/ seems to break in Internet Explorer.

You can see the problem here.

Thank you, it’s being dealt with.

Excellent... (that link you posted is broken though.)

Odd...I tested it as soon as I posted.

It works fine for me...now that I’ve repaired my broken FF installation, anyway!

Hi Susan

Your link reports broken or off limits for me also

I beg your pardon. The link is indeed not what I thought.

Thanks guys. It was the IE double-margin bug rearing it’s ugly head... fixed now.

For those that are interested in what caused it:

The split column near the bottom was built with floats and a margin between them.

Col 1: width: 45%; margin-right: 9%; float: left
Col 2: width: 45%; float: left

IE sometimes doubles margin values, becauses, ummm... in some bizzarro world, that makes sense. The solution:

Col 1: width: 45%; float: left
Col 2: width: 45%; float: right

But it usually double margin the one on the same direction with the float, so if the margin left is 10px, and it is being floated left, then it will resulted 20px. It might be another IE bug as well, when the windows is set too small, so even when it’s floated left, and it only set margin right, it still causing double margin for the right margin.

Ehmmm, I don’t know what I’m talking about here. Just ignore me
