A Useful little 'fix' for layout.tpl

[michael]

Well not so much a fix as a 'patch up' to cover Internet Explorers dismal rendering failure!

Current code with problem in red:

<!-- // Content // -->
<br /><br />
                        {* This includes the content portion *}
                        {include file=$body}
 <!-- // End Content // -->

Those two break tags were so frustrating! I suspect they were only ever placed there because IE sucked at rendering the original code, but by using them all other browsers had to pay the price in the form of some useless, dead whitespace beneath the search bar - right in the top, middle of your home page! I stripped them out and replaced them with a common enough hack as follows;

My new code with solution in red:

<!-- // Content // -->
<!--[if IE]>
    <br />
<![endif]-->
                        {* This includes the content portion *}
                        {include file=$body}
 <!-- // End Content // -->

Good one Michael. IE is just a royal pain as they say.
