Centre website - IE not displaying. *Updated*
 

Hi All,

I've been a lurker for a little bit, just soaking up all of the information available on here! Thanks so much!

However, there's an issue that I can't find the solution to and wondered if you might be able to help me.


I wish to centre my website and give it a fixed width.



I have defined the width as 966px, which has worked fine.

I have also centred the website, as follows:


html,body {

height: 100%;
width: 966px;
background-color: #045C58;
margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
padding: 0px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
min-width: 780px;
border: 0px none;

#page-container {

min-height: 100%;
position: relative;
background-color: #ffffff;
width:966px;
margin:0 auto 0 auto;
border: 0 px none;

This has worked fine for Firefox 3.5 and all is looking good, but only on the customer/shop side. The admin section has not moved. Also, in IE 8, the website and admin section are still aligned left!

I can't find anything that points to the alignment of the whole site, other than the page container, and unfortunately a search on here didn't come up with much.


Any tips are much appreciated!

Many thanks,

JeanB

Ah, nevermind - I've sorted it.

I read that a couple of people had a similar issue, so they restored the original main.css file. I did this and edited the CSS back to this and it's working...?

I have the same problem. I've made so many modifications to main.css, should I start again? 8O

I hope not! I wonder if someone might be able to shed some light on this?

I'd hate to think that I, or anyone else, would do a great deal of work, for it to happen again?

I think I'll keep a back-up of the css, just incase! 8O

Have the same problem with 4.3.0
Can not get ie to center pages

Can someone please give a little hint on that problem? :roll:

Ok - So the IE8 issue is a bit of a pain, but it is sorted with a restore of the original file.

However - I've just been shown the site in IE6 and it's even worse...!

In IE6, the site does not display the header, it does not display the seachbar/speedbar. It is also aligned left. I also have a drop-shadow around the entire site - but the side shadow isn't appearing.

Does anybody know what might cause this, but more importantly, where I might change it?

I realise that IE 6 is a bit out-of-date, but there are still alot of people using it, so I would like the site to work there.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
JeanB
