Coding help for item directory: IE support

Submitted by sybia123 on Fri, 18/12/2009 - 11:27pm
Alright, so I recently finished the coding for my item directory here: http://www.neopets.com/~xSybia however Internet Explorer has to be stupid and ignore the position:fixed property for my navigation. Any suggestions for getting it to work? I also need to figure out a way for it to recognize the hover property for when you mouse over the divs, because it ignores those too *angry* Also, I would like people with Opera and Google Chrome to view it and tell me if anything looks off, as I coded it in Firefox. Thanks! :) P.S. - I would also like suggestions on what categories to add next. I'm not sure if I should separate the remaining wearables by species, which would be time consuming to do that for all 50 something, or some other way. Any suggestions?

It looks great in google chrome. (just like in Firefox I suppose) :) I unfortunately can't help you with the coding though.. I'm not very good with html myself :s

OK, thanks P4Ssoa and Dmitri :) So does anyone know how to get around position:fixed in Internet Explorer or the hover property? Thanks in advance :D And also, does anyone have any suggestions for categories? EDIT: Alright, figured out the position:fixed :) And I did a lot of searching and the only way I could find to emulate hover in IE is through javascript so that's not going to work. Just looking for suggestions on how to categorize items now :) [center]-------------------------------------------------------------------- Wearables Galore: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=sybia123 [/center]

Lol when I read this one of my first thoughts was "If anyone has viewing troubles of your place, say their fault for using IE" --- Step outside, take a breath of fresh air, then look down to see if you have a new text message.

lol :) Nah, more complicated then that. IE doesn't want to understand what hover means, while every other browser does. [center]-------------------------------------------------------------------- Wearables Galore: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=sybia123 [/center]

I have no clue what of this, if any, will get past the neo filters but here you go http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/fixedPosition.html

Thanks for the reply Perpette :) I worked out another way to get past it a little bit ago. Basically made it only one page, with a div OVER the basic page. That way the page wasn't actually scrolling, the div was and I placed the nav above that div. Thanks though! :) [center]-------------------------------------------------------------------- Wearables Galore: http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=sybia123 [/center]
