Tons of issues with Internet Explorer

[naoko15]

Hi, my Virtuemart template looks all messed up in IE8 and IE7: the background menu is not being displayed, the product rows are not aligned correctly, the header is messy, etc. It happens in categories, product details, the cart page and the category i've publised at the frontpage. It looks great in every other browser though.

I can't post a live url because i need the site closed for visitors. I've attached a couple of captures to show you an example.

I'm using Joomla 2.5 and VM 2.0.12f

I really need help, i'm desperate : (

Thanks in advance.

Looks like an IE box model issue, so should display correctly in IE9 and 10.

You may need to add IE conditional css to your Joomla template which looks like a commercial one? Use Firebug to examine possible css changes or the IE debugger- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5044732/how-to-debug-css-in-ie

Also,

When designing templates usually we create different CSS for internet explorer 6,7,8,9 ... this is happen when dealing with IE, what i do: using some php, js and load different CSS files when IE 6,7,8,9 detects.

All this related to your design skills and the template you are using, have nothing to do with VM or Joomla, if you are not familiar ask your joomla template provider for support.

On your page we have help you many times to adjust your CSS/PHP/HTML code, but as i say you need some more design skills or ask from someone to do it for you

Thanks for both replies. I'll take note. The thing is that most issues have been resolved by enabling compatibility in IE, not sure this is the proper solution though.

Regards!

As i said related to your CSS styling ... there are always some rules over there ... and always needs to apply changes on your styles depending on browser, i hate that also in IE ...
