Comix Influx Blog: Damn Internet Explorer!

Just found out over the weekend that the site was horribly broken in IE. The problem is basically that don’t routinely check it in IE*, as I work on a Mac** (and also when I have checked in the past the site looked fine, so I guess I got blasé).

My parents have resisted the allure of the Mac, so on a recent visit I took the opportunity of checking the site on their laptop and, ooh, it was ugly. On the book pages, all the panels at the top, containing the main information and the “About this book…” blurb were all over the place. The sub-panels had no border (Firefox understands the English spelling “grey”, but IE insists on “gray”), and the main blog page was pretty hideously broken too. Urgh.

Fortunately, my parents generously lent me their laptop so I could work on it at home. I managed to get the main pages fixed yesterday, and things are looking acceptable on IE now. Not perfect, but good enough for the minute. I just hope that people looking at the site in IE have not been put off!

* Clearly I will be from now on!
** Although that doesn’t explain why the site still isn’t quite right in Safari either.
