Sponsor |  Birks79 | Feb 2, 2:41pm | Apologies if this is the wrong group for this question, but I'm having an issue with my wordpress blog. When I hover over a blockquote with my mouse the whole thing highlights white (blog has a grey theme) I have it happening in Firefox but not IE (7), but my friend has it happening in both. How do I get rid of the highligting?

i think that helps the problem being solved in IE. there are two CSS stylesheets for your wordpress blog. apparently,the theme is not cross-browser friendly. it just has a way to over come.
Anyhow, there is no problem of the white highlighting as you told. i checked with my firefox. |

Sponsor | | Birks79 | Feb 2, 3:15pm | | Thanks answer man... I think I got it fixed, now it's on to the bigger challenge of making it look good in IE6, it seems ok in 7, firefox and safari but everything goes bad in 6 |

*sigh* I'm sure of it. even my blog's theme has problems in IE. But its beautiful in both,just not having same functions since most my CSS is too advanced for IE. even IE7 isnt good enuf.

 |  3807889 | Feb 7, 2:33pm | Birks79, forget IE6. Most people have auto update now and only the true believers would still be using IE6. Going by my site stats, only 4% of my visitors use IE6.
Just make your pages valid code and it's up to IE to fix their rendering problems.

Sponsor | | Birks79 | Feb 7, 5:13pm | Thanks for the advice magic... it was pretty low on my priority list but someone else was telling me that a lot of people still used it. However, if they are it's their own fault :p I will get to work on fixing all the validation errors, thanks for the link to that site.
I was actually thinking of just putting a redirect in to a page telling people to update or get firefox :) I found a good one here |

Sponsor | | toontje | Feb 8, 2:31am | Hi Birks79,
Redirecting or even blocking people just because they use a different browser than you have optimized your pages for is approaching a problem the wrong way round.
For what its worth:
My statistics tell me that for the IE users, still 42% of my visitors is using IE6. For other sites it might be different.
You could just ignore them, however, if you do respect your visitors, you won't. ;)
Use a different style sheet or use a different rule to correct the problem. |

| | 3807889 | Feb 8, 8:27pm | I have a little note on my page saying that the pages may look like shite in IE, and to please consider firefox.. but that was before IE7, and even though I despise using it, it does render correctly 99% of the time. I only keep it to view pages I've made, or when firefox is acting up.
When I land on a page with an auto redirect, I don't often go much past the first landing page. I hate being pushed somewhere that I'm not ready to go. |
