Whacked out admin layout.

Help! I seem to have a problem with the admin interface. It works OK, but the layout is all whacked out and I can't seem to figure out what causes it. (See attached screenshot) I don't think I altered any styles or code for the admin interface.

What could be causing this and how can I fix it? It doesn't matter what resolution I am using.
It makes it hard to navigate when everything is at the bottom of the screen!

Thanks in advance

Re: [rconring] Whacked out admin layout.

Are you using IE 6 or 7? Some of my clients have reported a similar issue, but they also seem to be missing some of the left-side menu items. I use Firefox/Safari on a Mac, and have no issues.... Microsoft at it again! [angelic]

I wish I did! I am checking out the css files to see if I can find something obvious....

Hi Guys,

This is a CSS display issue with IE6. We've just recently discovered it and are working on fixing it for the next release. We just need to find a usable computer in the office with IE6! :) Hopefully we'll have that fixed very soon.

Thank you Dave ...

I have changed my default browser to Firefox and will suggest the same to the only 2 clients I have using IE6.

Dave,

Do you have any idea about when you may have a resolution to the admin IE6 compatability problem? I am catching some flac from my clients who don't want to install a different browser and certainly don't want to "upgrade" to IE7 which has it's own set of problems. I can hardly blame them.

Still love the product ... it is full of surprises and exceeds my expectations!

Hi and a Happy New Year !

I have a file (ui.css) which is compatible with IE6 :

line 24 add : height: 60px;
line 35 add : height: 16px;
line 43 add : width: 690px;

You can test it and if you find an error, you can inform me ?
(It is compatible with the other browsers.)

P.s. : Dave, I do not know if you know but I like much IETester :

Thanks for sharing your CSS fix and the link to IETester, I haven't seen that one! It looks helpful.
