Leaf theme in IE

By J Shizzle@poppycocknews.com on 29 Apr 2005 at 22:19 UTC

I have found one other posting on this issue, but nobody responded to it. The tabs for the primary links do not line up in Internet Explorer. I believe this issue has to do with the

tags. I have spend hours trying to figure out what's going on. The closest that I can come is that the line:

#navigation li {
display: inline;
}

will align all of the tabs in IE but then mess them up in Firefox. This is extremely frustrating, but I'm sure that someone who knows php better could figure it out pretty easily. I just designed an entire site around this theme and then became aware of the issue with IE.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Jeremy

same issue for me

shane commented 29 April 2005 at 22:23

I used the "leaf" theme as a starting point, and then found out there were problems with the CSS for both Internet Explorer AND for Safari on Macs. In IE the "Primary links" are rendered one after the other on newlines; while in REAL browsers, they're rendered side by side like they should be.

In Safari, the background image for the main content area is NOT rendered (white 1 pixel high image), so that the background color of the entire page is what's loaded.

Seems like the "leaf" theme has a bunch of CSS portability issues. This highlights why I have a strong distaste for CSS - it just plain ain't portable - thanks Microsucks...

(Yes, I know you can do whiz-bang cool things with CSS you can't do with standard html...)

problem with leaf theme under internet explorer

A nice theme that simply does not work on IE. Anyone who was able to fix this issue? Thanks!

My version of leaf

Thox commented 10 May 2005 at 23:13

The "leaf" theme is based off this Nucleus theme: http://skins.nucleuscms.org/blog/21

I created a "Nucleus" theme and several themes based on it: http://brandedthoughts.co.uk/node/15

It works fine in IE 6, Firefox 1+, Safari 1.2, and Opera 7+. I've not tried IE on Mac.

same problem

Very Helpful

iDreamAwake commented 23 June 2005 at 01:22

Thank you so much for this fix. The theme works perfectly on IE and Opera now, along with Firefox (which the original worked with also).

thank you! problem solved

innabar commented 23 January 2006 at 17:00

this solved my problem in IE, haven't tested it on other browsers.
is there a way to change the standard release of the theme so other developers don't waste time looking for this solution?

arrows

amagab commented 22 May 2005 at 05:22

How did you remove/change the arrows in the navigation menu?

Next time, please consider

no leaf listing

NukeHavoc commented 8 February 2006 at 18:55

I just tried to submit this as a bug report, since it really needs to find its way into the live theme, but there's no listing for "leaf" (leaves and leaf_smarty, but no leaf). Who do we contact about that?

Problem Solved

Ciro Duran commented 23 February 2006 at 03:18

This is an important issue. I downloaded this theme 2 weeks ago, this thread dates from May and still has the same problem, which the CSS posted solves. I'm trying to contact the original developer.

Thanks for solving the problem.
