Impress Light with IE6I've had user reports of my web site not showing up correctly on IE6 using the Impress Theme Light. Apparently the middle blocks are displaced or moved way down, if they show up at all. It seems to happen on all modules. Other themes like zetagenesis do fine. This is NOT a complaint. I'm way to grateful for the work being done here to complain about it. It is to see if someone else has had reports of this and to try to localize the reason/fix for it. It shows up on a major university computer (which leads me to wonder why it would be running IE6, but that's another matter). Anyway, has anyone else observed this and if so, have you found a workaround?
Thanks in advance! Mike |

Re: Impress Light with IE6I've noticed that sometimes when light loads that my content is above the theme in Firefox/2.0.0.12

Re: Impress Light with IE6Not sure if Light was ever updated to the 1.0 code. I will take a look.

Re: Impress Light with IE6I'll be interested to see if there's a later code basis.
It's a great theme, probably one of the best I've seen especially given the nature of my web site (largely for the elderly and caregivers). It's very simple, the darks are distinct from the lights, it's easy to read and easy to track. These are things that are harder for the elderly. For now, I decided to make it the default theme regardless of the IE6 issues just because of the readability quality. I have also placed a theme selection box for people who have issues with Light. They can choose zetagenesis if they like. Anyway, I hope the issue can be fixed. |

Re: Impress Light with IE6So, how does one update the version (I assume you're referencing the mor pho GEN e sis version - I see the latest version is 2.10 - http://tutos.xoofoo.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=19&orderby=dateD )? I looked through both mor pho gen e sis and impress_light and saw similarities. But, I also saw big differences. So, given my limited coding abilities, just wasn't sure what all was involved and how hard it was to update the code...

Re: Impress Light with IE6Sure, that's great. Take time to have a good weekend and some fun. I was just wondering what all it entailed.
Thanks! |

Re: Impress Light with IE6Before I uploaded to my site, I noticed the directory structure is different in the SVN than in my previous impress light them. Is the directory structure supposed to be different?
Before: css/ icons/ img/ modules/ modules/system/ xotpl/ index.html theme.html After (as appears in SVN right now): icons/ img/ modules/ modules/system/ blocks.css blockszone.html centerblocks.html content.css index.html layout.css style.css theme.html Is this new directory structure correct before I upload it? Thanks! [EDIT] I went ahead and uploaded what was in svn into my site. I figured I could just revert if it wasn't right. I uploaded, cleared cache and templates then the administration pages started - for whatever reason - redirecting to the sourceforge svn page. alls fine, just wanted to let you know. |

Re: Impress Light with IE6you have to download it with tortoise if you are trying to get it from svn.

Re: Impress Light with IE6Thanks for the explanations about tortoise. I used to have it installed but there hasn't been much use to me for it for a while now until recently.
I uploaded it and the theme looks much improved. It appears that what I reported earlier happens on lower resolution computers. It will Monday until I get to see my site on the hospital computers. At that time I will update how it looks. For the moment - if it's possible to have improved on the theme - it looked really great before, it's even better now. Thanks |

Re: Impress Light with IE6I did some testing on my computer.
Safari the right column drops down below the bottom of the center column. IE7 - Looks great. Firefox 3 Beta - Looks and works fine. |

Re: Impress Light with IE6yeah, old browsers, and machines do not really do well with table-less design.
