Theme development

Hi,

I am working on a theme for my drupal website. For the edit tabs on my web pages, the "authored by" information does not seem to show up at all when I use IE. Howvere, when I test the same theme on Firefox, it works fine.

I am new to drupal. Not really aware what sections/modules in the drupal4.6 could possible be browser dependent.
Since IE is a commonly used browser, I do need to fix this on IE as well.

Could anyone please give some leads regarding this.

Thanks lots !!!

So, I'd like to put all of a page's comments in the right sidebar. I've found a path that would allow this @ http://www.settingtheworldtorights.com/node/417, but it's for 4.6... is there some way to do this on 4.7, especially without a patch??

I want to have a popup window that pulls information from the database without having to make connection strings and such, I think the easiet thing to do is to have a node that doesn't get themed in anyway shape or form, so I have it display only the content of the node without a header, sidebar(s), title, tabs, message, or help area's. What do you guys think would be the easiet way to get this accomplished?

You see the adjustable doo-hickey in this site's the comment textarea? How do you get that to work?

The only way I can get that feature is by turning on the TinyMCE texteditor but I don't want to do that. It's easier for my users to just stick to the old "HTML TAGS ALLOWED" routine. Yet, not having to customize the textarea rocks.

So ... ahem ... HELP! Tell me how to do this!

Thanks,

I have a baseline drupal site, with a plain theme. Now, I need to theme this site for several different sites and was looking for a better way of dealing with the template.php file for each theme. I could certainly search/replace ("theme_" replaced by "newtheme_") template.php for each theme, but I'd rather have a default set of theming functions that each site falls back on.

Is this possible?

Thinking about it, seems like I'd have to put another layer ontop of the default drupal theme functions.

Thanks.
