    Hi,

    I have been advised that I require a seperate CSS file for IE to solve my display error on http://www.theps4forums.com/board. On Firefox and Chrome there is no issue, the the grey area towards the top of the page is not alligned correctly in IE.

    Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

    Yes, this is called CSS hacking. You need to have a condition for which css file to load depending on the user's browser. This is a good article on how to do it: http://www.webdevout.net/css-hacks

    Yes, a lot of time we specially mention rules for IE browser. You might consider to have a relook at your code/css though.

    Here's a question... why don't Microsoft fix this issue in IE? Every single website has to release a god damn fix for that browser... WHY!? Why can't they make their browser like all the other ones? If this is their way of being unique they doing it all wrong...

    Sometimes I use 2 different CSS files for IE specific rules.

    This is Microsoft. Maybe IE9 will change something, but too many people still have older versions of IE.

    This "fight" with IE and CSS will never end...

    Why don't Microsoft patch this problem with the older versions of IE then? They must be retarded.

    I guess it doesn't matter to them, because ever single Microsoft PC worldwide is shipped with their crappy software! Only webmasters and script kiddys use a decent browseer (unfortunately)

    No much, the IE fix files are fairly easy to make.

    A patch would just effectively be the same as updating the browser and would have to be given out in the form of an update or something, and since most older browser users are using an older browser because they aren't updating it would be the same likelhood for a patch.

    Plus they are still struggling to get it right with their latest browsers anyhow!
