Comments on: Step 1 in IE6 Compatibility Hacking http://alexking.org/blog/2007/04/11/ie6-compatibility Alex King's blog - software, photography, sports, etc. Wed, 07 Jan 2009 23:27:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.3 By: James http://alexking.org/blog/2007/04/11/ie6-compatibility#comment-65773 James Mon, 22 Dec 2008 20:38:40 +0000 http://alexking.org/blog/2007/04/11/ie6-compatibility#comment-65773 I was wondering if you put this code on the style sheet, or in the inline CSS? I will try it both ways to see if it works. My site was built with newer browsers in mind, and I totally forgot to make it compatible with older browsers until I met with a client who has an old PC that needs to be updated. I post their sites on my server as I work on them, and must gain access through my site. When I went to my site I couldn't beleive how messed up it looked in an older browser.

I was just using conditional comments to link a different style sheet when internet explorer was found. Then I would mess around applying different properties until it looked somewhat similar to what it ALWAYS looks like in Firefox. This hack has really helped me get rid of some annoying little discrepancies between my Firefox and IE renderings. Wow.

(Tons of info here: http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html ) It replaces the height:1% hack and doesn't set a property that actually affects anything since it's basically magnifying the element to 100%. It's definitely a great place to start when IE is getting goofy This fixes just about all the bugs caused by not having the hasLayout property set.
