Rainy Day layout problem with buttons in IE

[TeeJay]

Hey guys,

I'm new here and let me just quickly say I tried looking for older posts about the same problem I have, but I couldn't find any. If I've missed an older post about this, apologies. Please point me to it.

I'm having a problem with the Rainy Day layout that I'm trying to adapt, and now the buttons are all over the place when I try to view the page with IE6. What I mean is the navigation arrow buttons and those aligned with them. Before I launch into lengthy descriptions, let me show you:

As you can see, the buttons are below the spot they are supposed to be. They are where the black arrows are and should be where the red arrows are. This doesn't happen all the time when you reload a page. When they are misaligned, they jump to their right position when you move the mouse over them. This problem does not occur in Firefox, only in IE and not only on my system.

I have to admit, I don't know the first thing about PHP programming, but I'm guessing this is a problem that has to do with the PHP code telling the buttons at which position they should appear. I reduced the height of one of the graphics of the Rainy Day theme that is positioned between the header and the buttons on the right (Album List, Last Uploads, etc.). That's why I'm guessing the buttons appear below where they should be because if the graphic was still its original height, they would probably be in the right spot.

Long story short, I would be immensely grateful if someone could give me some hints if this this fixable, and if so, how. Like I said, I don't know much about PHP, but I do know how to change the code if I know where and what to change. Thanks in advance!

This has been posted before.

Code Select Expand


.navmenu a {
        position: relative;
        display: block;
        padding-top: 2px;
        padding-right: 5px;
        padding-bottom: 2px;
        padding-left: 5px;
        text-decoration: none;
        color: #FFFFFF;
}


You need to remove the relative positioning in style.css.

Uhm.... huh? Sorry, I don't quite get what you mean. <scratches head in confusion> I'm not one of the PHP geeks.

I didn't mean you, but Nibbler and the others devs. Sorry to have confused you. You can safely ignore my reply.

Oh, okay. LOL I felt a little stupid there for a minute.

And I made the changes and it seems to have worked. The buttons aren't "wonky" anymore. Thanks so much, guys.
