Internet Explorer bug fixes
15 May 2006
My web development shortcomings for my personal sites, including reviewsby.us (one-man army, no QA testers) is being blind to IE. Katie and I both work using Powerbooks and our backup computer is a Ubuntu desktop. At work Katie uses IE and noticed an error with how I display menu items. Friday I took that Ubuntu machine and installed Internet Explorer via Wine (details to follow).
I didn’t delve into this as much as I should have, as I really wanted it to just work in IE. The menu items are list items (li) that float left. In the container (a ul) is set with overflow: auto which is supposed to give enough overflow to show the entire containing element including all floats. For some reason it didn’t work for IE so as a quick fix I added a few clearing <br/>s.
