Indexhibit Support

Hi,
I am very bad in HTML, CSS... all web related things...
So my friends set up indexhibit for me... It my only hope to be able to put my portfolio together.

We have found solutions to many problems. But now I am facing this IE compatibility issue... and no one is able to find a solution...

I have read about this IE problem on this forum... but as said... I really do not understand what the solutions listed here mean... or are they related to my problem. Could you please help me.

My site:

www.fanux.net

it is ok with mozilla and safari...
But with IE, it looks like that:

The text is messed up. The colors are strange.
(Please note that the low image quality is caused due to a remote desktop connection. I do not have IE on my mac. I connect to a PC to test the site.)

Thanks.

First of all...these are customization issues...they have nothing to do with Indexhibit.

Is that IE5? It's barely worth supporting or caring about anymore.

When you input alot of html, tables, into an exhibit you should turn OFF page processing. Then, you need to be responsible for all the formatting - all of it on the page. That's why it's there.

Tables in IE...garbage. You have to use good css or set values in the table code to make it behave.

Hi Vaska,
I know that it has nothing to do with indexhibit. But I am just asking for an advice...

This is IE6...
where is this page processing ON/OFF thing?
what is being "responsible" for all formating?

I did not customize anything... I just chanaged the background color... and the link colors...
:(

one of my friends told me that IE is crazy with empty tables. So he suggested me to put " " in the html code...

but it seems like indexhibit automaticly removes those codes from the html inserted into the page... ?

Page Processing...look at the right for Additional Options. Turn it off.

Then, all the code you've placed into the editor won't be tampered with. You're playing with tables here...IE is going to not be happy with it...you'll have to keep on trying until it's happy with what you are doing.

Vaska, thank you very much. Now the table looks much better in IE. However I am not getting any scroll bars on right side of the browser?
:(

I don't have IE cracked open (I use a Mac)...can you put up another screenshot? Not sure what you are talking about.

To clarify...Page Processing simply deals with p and br tags which help format your content. It doesn't play so well with tables or complicated html...which is the point to turning it off. But, when it is turned off you will need to add the p and br tags where necessary. If they aren't needed it's great...but if they are...that responsibility falls upon you.

On the table for your text, I recommended that you add a width to it...it might help IE with the scrollbar problem...or maybe it won't.


<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width='600'>


Thanks! But width='600' did not work.

The content is cropped on the bottom, but there is not a scroll bar on the right to scroll down... when you try to scroll with the mouse mid. button it scrolls the entire page... with the menu on the left... not like just scrolling the content...

Really, thanks for your time and help.

I see it...it's a bug actually that will be fixed now. It's sort of a bug...

Switch your exhibition format to Over and Over and see if it works then.

You have the Grow format on...even though it's not being used. It throws a clear at the bottom...it's something that will be adjusted in the next release.

Thanks. But I am sorry to say that it did not work with the "Over and Over" mode... should I just try all modes?

ok... I tried all of them. Not working. So I will be waiting for the fix.

The last problem is about the CSS background color... the background is white under IE...

Yes, the background color defaults to white...simply setting it to a color in your css isn't enough actually. I need to come up with a way to deal with this still. You can set it manually via other methods, but it's too much for me to explain every customization. I've probably posted a solution on the board already.

The problem with the clear is really strange...I could have sworn that I had fixed this long ago but I don't see the code anywhere. There are css solutions to deal with this that you can add to your code...but once again...customization of things is where I usually have to drop out...help people with installation is enough work already (along with the other things I do for Indexhibit too).

Good luck.

I know. It is very hard. Thank you very much. I will try to figure out some solutions. This indexhibit is a great project. Good luck. Thanks for your time and for your help...
