Re: IE 5 compatible themes

That is correct.

It is an issue of having a 100% width table (or table element) nested inside another table. Slashdot uses a 99% table to get around this... others just use 99.9%... it's a matter of trying to force IE 5.x to make an actual calculation instead of a quick assumption... as I recall anyways.

This thread includes suggested margin and padding, as well by onokazu.

Many thanks, I've got it working now.

Working in the Mambo theme, changing the default table width (2nd line of css) to 99% still looked horrible. This had me stumped until I tried 90% and it looks ok. I must have a particularly awful version of IE 5.

In the Karate Redux Blue theme I only had to change default table width down to 97% for it to look good...so I'll probably run with that.

One strange thing is that not all of the elements are resizing in equal proportions - the spotlight block and the notifications block shrank a bit more than everything else.

Another thing I noticed about the two themes that do seem to work directly vs the rest (imago 2&5) is that they have i) explicitly specified a width for the centre-centre block and ii) its set at <100%.

I assume that themes that don't explicitly do i) would probably assign the default table value (100%) to centre-centre blocks...I wonder if this is the main hotspot of IE 5 problems ?

As far as I've come across, the widths are set in the CSS.

If not, that should certainly be the bulk of it.

Thanks Sunsnapper.

Do I need to change it in just theme files (style.css and theme.html) ? Or do I need to adjust the templates under each module as well ?

Thanks for your interest philou

When you say 'fix' the font values, do you mean I should specify a particular pixel size or font size ?

ie. not use settings like 'small' ?
