The Wonders of CSS Styling and the Browser Wars
Well miraculously managed to solve the latest problems within the CSS stylesheet that came up when I realised that both blogs I am running were not rendering at all well in the new Microsoft Beta Browser IE7. I was a little dismayed as I happen to actually quite like the browser and it is a vast improvement over IE6. It will not replace my avid appreciation of Firefox but is now definitely an alternative that I will use on occasion. The use of tabbed browsing and the very similar Google search bar located in the top right hand corner all make it a browser I can now start to recommend again, especially to students who seem to love the world of Microsoft?
The biggest problem is how IE7 renders CSS stylesheets (for those unsure of what a stylesheet is check this simple site for an explanation) differently so causing the problems that I have now rectified simply by changing the “height: 100%” declaration in the “body” selector of the CSS file to “height: auto”. Go figure …huh! It makes little sense, but I can only see the problem actually getting even worse.
Anyways students..download IE7 and you can still see my blogs now …you are so lucky…
