Help needed: Website issues with IE7

[thepurplecow]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is able to help in fixing a problem with my website. I have been told it has some display issues in Internet Explorer 7 (I use Firefox so hadn't checked it in IE7, perhaps a bit ignorantly). Two white lines cut up the map on the homepage of the site, and other issues are visible if you can compare with Firefox and IE7.

Have a look now if you use IE7:
www.countryonsale.info

If you use Firefox, but want to see what I'm on about use the Siteviewer tool here:
http://www.anybrowser.com/siteviewer.html

I know I haven't explained the problem much, but if you can compare the site in IE7 and Firefox you will see the obvious differences. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help fix these issues. I will pay anyone who can do it, although I don't have lots of money to spare.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Even my website also look different in IE7. We can't do much about that. If you will try to edit it for IE7, then it will look different in Firefox. That's the problem.

looks fine in ie7 for me, have you fixed it?

and it is possible for all your designs to look the same/very similar in both browsers. if push comes to shove, you can always load a different stylesheet for IE using conditional statements

No, I haven't fixed it. The site viewer at anybrowser.com still seems to show the site as unfixed.
Albino - are you sure you're not seeing two white lines going down through the map and the header a bit messed up (there are are few other problems too)?

I'm using IE 7.0.5730.11 and it looks 100% fine.

I know earlier versions on IE7 had display issues with certain CSS coding but maybe they have sorted that out now.

Might be a CSS problem

I would recommend that you download IE7 just for your development purposes. You may be having a problem with your CSS file. I know I have to play with the style sheet on my sites to make it look right. If you still have problems try using a single image in the header and footer and just use images maps and javascript for the relative links in those locations.

Using IE7, I see problems with the top border in the header, but everything else looks fine.

I see exactly the same problem in IE6, FireFox, and Opera 8; it isn't a cross-browser compatibility issue.
