Hi there,

My new website http://www.ctrl-alt-mat.com works like a charm in Firefox and others BUT IE (which I dislike) and I would like to fix it, to make it IE compatible.

I’ve read a couple of posts, all talking about IE hacks that are intended to fix these known issues but I don’t know where to start… I sure want to create that specific ie.css file but I have no clue what to change from my original style.css to make it work in IE, can you help me? Should I change a single line of code or lots of them needs to be changed to make it IE compatible?

Thank you for your time!

What you need to do is ‘Ctrl + z’ this site, and start over, in short. You are using frames…for whatever reason I am not sure, and not correctly (wrong doctype). Inline styling, so who knows where the error is. Seriously, in the long run you are absolutely better off just redesigning this with some markup that makes a little more sense, at least if not for semantics, then for debugging.

GOOD LUCK.

IFOHDESIGNS is right..you should refrain from using frames..There are just too many issues to it..Your website has quite a simple design, you should absolutely try re-doing it in css/xhtml only..That way, your contents will be more search-engine friendly too, and there’ll be less cross-browser compatibility issues..

Seriously, I don’t want to come off mean or anything, but did you do any tests before you finished the design in any other browsers?

You should be testing as you make changes in hopefully more than one browser.

If you were doing this all along, you would have known exactly, or close enough as to what caused the site to stop working in IE.

Just re-design without frames, or javascript. Get your site working in all browsers before you try to get wacky and add more flair than is needed.
