When the theme is used with both sidebars and the title of an article is separated in 2 rows, the right sidebar comes under the content in IE 6/7.

new IE 6 sidebar error.jpg90.35 KB

I've attached a screenshot of the sidebar problem.

The browsers used to view the site were IE 6 and 7 on another computer with resolutions 1280x800 pixels. The screenshot was made with IE 6.

The site is brand new - visitbulgaria.info and I still am in the process of testing what will be the best for it. Internet Services is one of the most professional looking and usable themes for Drupal out there, so I am going to stick to this theme even despite the small sidebar bug. Just will keep my titles shorter :) However, I hope the IE 6 problem will soon be removed.

Thanks,
Mariyana Dhaliwal

The case of IE6 support is a bit complicated:

  1. IE6 don't support PNG, not handle margin/padding correctly, etc. Long story short: IE6 is buggy.
  2. In order to overcome these issues, usually we need to include additional CSS hack for IE6, which override default "standard" CSS settings as IE6 compatible.
  3. This will require for: IE6 browser, and CSS developer for IE6. BTW, I don't have these tool and skill on hand.
  4. Moreover, we need to have additional IE6 developer to keep maintenance during theme upgrade and update.

Simple conclusion: since I am the one and the only one who keep on maintenance this theme, I am not going to support IE6 officially, based on resource concern.

Anyway, If you have sort out the required IE6 CSS hack for internet_services, please contribute and submit patch under progress issue. I will follow up and merge them into official release if possible. Thanks for choosing internet_services :)

I have backport the progress of fluid width from interactive_media, and also test it with IE6/7. IE7 should looks fine right now; BTW, IE6 looks a bit buggy, especially in search bar and main block title.

The latest version include a placeholder for include IE6 fix, and I will left it open for public contribution. At least left/right sidebar problem is now fixed, so this issue is now marked as fixed. Please follow up other IE6 related problem in other new issue. Thanks :)
