Viewing 68C with Vista?

[RandyB +]

Okay, I wanted to show off what I've been working on (68C) to a lady friend of mine while at her house earlier this evening.....

She is running Windows Vista (Crap).........I went to my page and wow.......everything at the top was shifted and over lapping each other. I don't think her resolution has anything to do with it. (I think she's at 1024x768...Not sure, because I usually run 1280x1024)

Now, I have 4 pcs running...3 with W2K and one with XP and my pages view fine at even 1024x768. So I'm guessing Vista Craps web browser is causing this.

Any clues, fixes, suggestions or otherwise. I'm thinking at least half of web surfers are running Vista so I see it as a concern with pages looking crappy to them. I have Vista, but put it back in it's box after 3 months. I refuse to run it again even to test my site with.

So here are some screenshots I got from Check Browser Compatibility, Cross Platform Browser Test - Browsershots thanks to a post somewhere on this forum.

First Image is MSIE7 and Second is from MSIE8

Any way to make this scripts formatting compatible with those browsers since their Vista branded?

Okay, Problem solved for version 7 Anyway....will test to see what happens with version 8 on the site above.

What happened was...........(even though I was thinking the same thing)... I read a thread somewhere about the extra whites pace above the text on the home page. The fix was to remove the <br /> <br /> in the layout.tpl above the "content" area.

This came to me all of a sudden that I removed those. I since replaced them and all works fine for MSIE7 and MSIE8, so DO NOT REMOVE THESE BREAKS!.

So those of you that removed this...........it doesn't format properly in MSIE7 without the 2 breaks there.
