IE Makes Me Sad
So I’m continuing through the tiringly dense forest of CSS behind this site to make it follow a dual-column layout. I’ll be on the left and Tony will be on the right. We’ll have what’s traditionally deemed the “sidebar” running down the middle.
If you’re viewing this page in Firefox right now, you probably have a rough idea of what I’m looking to accomplish. If you’re in the soul-sucking, merciless abomination of a browser that is Internet Explorer, then you’ll see that it’s not taking kindly to the concept of automatically rescaling images to fit their containing div’s and thus, the layout is rather borked.
My quick and dirty fix is naturally to reduce the image size in the IMG tag itself, so that IE doesn’t continue to vomit all over itself. In the future, I’ll draw up a dynamic div tag that lets you click the image to see the full-size version BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES. Whether IE likes it or not. *spits*.
That’s all for now. It’s starting to take shape.
To do:
Fix grey lingering sidebar background color.
Fix/toy with “sidebar” width.
Stylize EVERYthing.
Etc.
