Is it Wordpress or IE?

by Dennis Howlett on July 6, 2006

A number of readers have been complaining that this theme breaks in Internet Explorer. I don’t know why but it seems there’s all sorts of erratic behaviour from an inability to scroll to the bottom through to sidebar misalignment. Sometimes it’s OK so there really is a serious touch of the gremlins.

I know it’s popular to scream that IE does a great job of breaking weblog designs but on this occasion I’m throwing this at Wordpress developers. Take note: If you don’t remember there is a swathe of IE users out there then you suck.

Great design is one thing but ignoring the market is quite another all together.

Another change coming up – sorry folks.

  • You know that Jeff and so do I but unfortunately we're in a minority. Hey - maybe we wouldn't be if SAP wasn't so MSFTy :)
  • Works in Camino... get a Mac would be my suggestion!
  • Frank - this theme seems OK. It was Simpla 1.01 = lovely lokking but yukky in IE. Tom's since told me IE is a pig at handling CSS but that IE 7 might sort this out. Not holding my breath.
  • Dennis, this is no Wordpress standard theme, it's done by Scott Wallick, so it says at the bottom. Maybe you can ask him to check for errors in his CSS.
  • Dennis - this kind of breakage is often down to IEs rendering of CSS so it is more likely to be an issue around the theme, rather than WordPress itself.
