My site, Coupons To Your Inbox, isn't compatible with IE 5.01 and IE 5.5. Images: IE 5.01/Windows XP http://www.easy-ringtones.info/ie5_01-wxp.png IE 5.5/Windows XP http://www.easy-ringtones.info/ie5_5-wxp.png If you take a look, you'll see that in both browsers: 1) The logo at the top is offset to the left 2) The footer is offset to the left 3) The text in the right box is offset to the left and very large 4) The text in the main box, beneath the second header, is very large Does anyone know how to fix these problems without affecting the way my site looks in newer browsers? How can I learn which exact browsers are being used by the visitors to my site? In my cPanel, it only says "Internet Explorer". The versions are not defined.
this versions of IE are very old, if do you want to work with this versions make the layout from one main table, now it doesn't work because IE 5 it's not "friend" with CSS. If do you still have problems with this PM me, I can help you with this.
Hi, Netcollection, My site is rendered almost perfect by all new browser versions. I've only got backward compatibility issues with IE 5.0 and IE 5.5. I wanted to fix these problems just to be safe; I don't know how many visitors to my site still actually use these browsers. Are you saying that these browsers are not compatible with CSS and that, to fix the problems, I will need to use tables instead? How can I learn how many of my visitors use IE 5.0 and IE 5.5?
They are compatible with CSS, and you don't need to use tables. Firstly, the best way is to test in IE5 as you go if you want compatibility. That way, if you are working on the <h1> and it doesn't display correctly its obvious what the problem is. If the footer is out of whack, it could be a problem with the footer, or some other content thats throwing it out. Still fixable, just a lot more headaches! To center everything, you should add "text-align:center" instead of "margin:0 auto" For example, add text-align:center to body, and then on your container set text-align back to left (so the text displays correctly) That should fix your centering problems. I think Google analytics shows which browser exactly, don't quote me on it though. The % of people using IE5.5 and IE5 will be very low (less than 1%)
