Not my graphics day/ IE7 and Min-Height

I made two other banners for my blog than the one that is in the middle right now, but I absolutely hated them so I trashed em. *sigh* Not every day is a good one.

:ill:

Thankfully the bats on the right take some of the burden away of making it full width. Unfortunately by now I have also noticed IE7 is giving me crap around that hour glass. It’s because they *scrapped* the *html overrides. What that means is: Microsoft has attempted to make their browser conform to min-height, an element it didn’t know before. In other words, you would think it would also react to min-height exactly the same as Firefox. My bad! It left a gap of about 40 pixels for completely unclear reasons. So if I simply give height, it fixes it for the single post pages but of course you will have cut off entries on the front page… honestly.

Now I’m clueless! Set the *html hack back to 180em and it fixes the gap?! What the hell! Does that work or doesn’t it? Everywhere on the net it says it shouldn’t work…

I honestly believe stuff like this can let you end up in the nuthouse one day…

Oh! And I fixed that small difference between IE7 and Firefox near that silver ornament by using this code on an override:

Go figure.

Upgraded to internet explorer 7

I delayed that one as I long as I could since I know quite a few people are still using internet explorer 6. Microsoft will be pushing internet explorer 8 to the updates soon. You can choose not to install it, which is exactly what I’ll do on this XP install. On my Vista install I am going to upgrade, which means I will still have all three browsers in the house. My parents pc downstairs can’t be upgraded to IE7 anyways, since the scanner will stop working. Thank you, HP.

The only thing stupid internet explorer 7 is messing up on my layout right now is the search box, *lazy*. Take it as a notification.
