CSS Popups and padding IE 7 bugs

[carterdea]

Hi, my site (http://www.voiceofcalvaryradio.com/alaska) has been acting up in IE 6, so I added some selector hacks to keep it simple and presentable.

It is supposed to be a white screen with 3 boxes.

Now IE 7 does support the selectors and continues to cut off my boxes, and screw up my absolute positioning inside the centered div.

if anyone knows how to help, that would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure about the code, but it's mean to have three empty boxes be meant for navigational purposes. I thought the page was broken and almost dismissed it without even trying to click on the boxes. CLARITY!

yes, it is meant to be just 3 white boxes, hence:

It is supposed to be a white screen with 3 boxes.



CLARITY: DONE

I am not saying "your design is broken," I'm saying "your design is bad." It's called mystery meat navigation. You should not present a visitor with something completely meaningless and expect them to figure it out. If I found your site on a search engine and was presented with empty boxes, I would hit the "back" button and take my business elsewhere.

well it is a work in progress, I am having proffessional icons made right now. Those are place holders to see where they will go.

but thanks for caring.

can you help me fix it?

Honestly, IE7 is a buggy monstrosity right now. Maybe wait a few weeks for the first round of patches to come out. I can't even surf this forum on it. In the meantime, maybe try putting a transparent image into the box and see if that stretches it out to the right size? It might display properly once you have the new icons in there. I'm not sure about the centering problem, though.

ok,

I will do that when I get home. Thanks.
