IE7 Oddity (Site works in other browsers)

munchit

HI Folks,

New here but i've followed a few other threads in the past so hoped someone could help!

Have a new site design that seems to work fine in FF/Safari/IE6 but not IE7... i'm not sure where the issue lies, but it seems to be CSS related and the way in which IE7 handles it - though i am also getting an error claiming a variable is either null or not an object - but only in IE7 again....

URL is: http://www.laney.co.uk/Laney07/show_prod.php?prod=A1

In FF/Safari the images appear as required (though different in both!) with a standard float left and right working normally...

I only found out when someone told me as i never used IE7 and the site worked fine in 6, Safari etc so stupidly thought 7 would be ok... am i not doing something blatantly obvious!?

Not sure if this is relevant but ran it through the javascript validator which gave an error:

Error: Thumbs has no properties

Thanks for that, that's a slightly more useful variation on the error that IE7 gives regarding the object/null thing above!

I'll go and have a look at that....

From some reading around it seems that IE7 handles margins/padding etc differently than other browsers when using <ul> - but i can't find what it actually does differently!

IE uses margin while FF uses padding.

You have 31 html errors.

Ah!

Why can't they just agree :(

Is there any way i can set a browser specific tag in the CSS as otherwise a margin AND padding is going to cause no end of grief!

Thanks for the heads up - at least i now what i'm trying to tackle now :)

This is why it is better to set all margins/padding to zero and just adjust them where necessary. You can use conditional comments:

<![if IE 7]>
#myul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
}
<![endif]>

This only works for IE.

Here's a link with more info about the list problem.

I have set to 0 though, hence why i was puzzled....

I'll throw that code in and see what i can fathom. Thanks greatly for the help!
