I've built a site with the acquia slate theme that I'm very happy with - great theme so thanks guys, but I've a minor issue whwn viewing in IE:
below the menu bar there is a dark grey box. Doesn't occur in firefox so I can't firebug the problem.
Also, the footer text is appearing over a black background, but on firefox and opera it is the dark grey that I'd like it to be.

Can anyone throw any light on why this might be happening?

The problem looks like it is in the

section of the page. I would try the following css change to see if it works for you. You may have to make it an IE only css change.

In your local.css create an over-riding css:

#header-wrapper .clearfix {
background-color: #292929; /* or whatever your pages background color is */
}

If that doesn't do it for you, you might try this css override instead:
#header-wrapper .clearfix {
display: none;
}

If that doesn't do it for you, you might try this css override instead:
#header-wrapper .clearfix {
content: "";
}

Looks like it's working correctly for you now. Seems to be an issue with your content and not necessarily the theme. Thanks for providing some help shutslar.

This is still an outstanding issue. We are using Firefox and Safari and seeing the same behavior in both browsers. The footer area is black and growing as content does. We have tried the above CSS fix - but with no joy. Any information on fixes to this - or the kinds of content which would cause this issue would be greatly appreciated. A screenshot is attached. Thanks!

We seem to have resolved the issue by hand-tweaking the style.css for the footer. We suspect that the Kaltura .css file overwrote the style.css file and caused this problem. Others having difficulty might see if restoring the #292929 color to line 33 of the style.css file fixes the issue for them.

Thanks.
