Fix website CSS for IE?

apeiro · 2006-09-15 17:13:36

Yea, I know. It's IE. Tres blah.

But it does look pretty hideous, and there are probably some people that happen across archlinux.org in IE.

So I'm asking anyone who has the time and CSS knowledge to fix up our CSS so it looks normal in IE, and without altering the look in Firefox/Opera/Konq/etc. I just don't have the time right now... I also don't have a windows box nearby with an IE to test on.

Anyone? You'll get fame, fortune, cookies, and little tester bottles of mouthwash.

Someone who wanted to run IE under Linux for the purposes of testing the CSS while reworking it for IE support, of course.

But Judd's not going to do it, he's too busy, and has things he'd rather do than web design in his spare time. ;-)

There are still a lot of webpages which are not browsable without IE. It is more of a necessity.

I've done it. ;-)
Just remove

  position: relative;

at line 66 in /media/arch.css.
Tested in MSIE 6.0, Opera 9.01 and Firefox 1.0.

BTW, Judd, can you allow me to rework some XHTML & CSS code to make it more standards-compliant? (For example remove inline styles etc.). I just need the source of template or whatever is used to generate XHTML code. If you'll like it I can do the same for AUR.

EDIT: Oh, and don't forget to close bug #5060.
I would like to help. I do few web projects now, so I can work on improving Arch's site too.

Yes I have also done it, this works

I know, it's sort of thread hijacking, but this "bug" has to do with a similar issue:

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5382

Thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=24974

Could someone have a look at it?

While we're at it, could we please please fix the rss feeds (i.e. news) so that they have <link></link> filled out correctly? AUR has this correct. All we need is to put <link>http://www.archlinux.org</link>. It's annoying that I can't click on the title of the rss feed in netvibes and go to the website.

Utterly offtopic: Judd, I just love your rhetoric.

dtw · 2006-09-17 13:06:54

Can someone also, then, take a look at fixing the padding problems in the new forum theme? I have been unable to fix them as the problem lies in the unified header, setting padding to zero and causing all sorts of shitty padding problems in forum posts.

fk · 2006-09-17 13:09:25

@dtw

Which problem do you mean? I don't see any Problem..

Judd, could you just offer the code for the main page in a svn repo or similar? There are always talks about rewriting the AUR in django, so we would use the same templates (codemac was very motivated, I am in the process of learning python+django, so I would help too). Users could also submit patches more easily if the python code + templates were available online.

I'll take a look. This could take some time, however.

I would be even better! Though I don't like Python, especially for web development, but I think it would be easy to fix templates.

BTW, why the switch to Django was made?

You are browsing wrong sites then. Just kidding.

BTW, about this one warning: there should be & instead of &.

To Judd: please fix news posting code so that it converts special chars to HTML entities.

Well, I did look at new theme (BTW, this is the first time I tried it), but it seems that I don't understand what padding problems are you talking about?
Can you post some screenshot(s)?
