IE problem with Div layout..Ready to Cry.., Layout shows up perfect in FireFox but content missing in IE Options

[orangetoysoldier]

Hi everyone, I have been searching everywhere for an issue to resolve this. My layout works perfect in FireFox but in internet explorer content is missing. The main myspace stuff shows up like the blog and comments and they are positioned correctly its just the other content like slideshows and stuff does not show up.

UPDATE: I FIXED THIS PROBLEM MYSELF...This info may be helpful to others. It had to do with the order of the DIV code. My background images were the first DIV in the code. When I moved them to the last line of the code everything infront of it showed up and I was able to adjust the z-index then so things would appear in the right order. Example:I made the z-index of the background images div 10 and anything before it 1 or 2. I hope this information helps out people because it took me hours to figure out.

Thanks

so far the layout looks really good. the song is awesome btw! so what's not working?

*edit: my fault, didn't look at it in IE. i'll start looking at this and seeing what's wrong

I'll have a look later, basically IE is shit and has decided yet again that it won't display something correctly, I feel your pain but be patient, nobody here is paid to help others.

In the mean time, you should reduce your image sizes, seriously, I'm on a 24mb line and waited like at least 5 seconds before your images began to load, normal users probably leave your profile before the images load.

I suggest saving as JPG, even at maximum 100 quality, you'll still see a massive decrease in file size...

Sorry, I appreciate it and I know you guys do not get paid to help others. Also thanks I am glad you like the song and I will look into reducing my image sizes.

I know I hate IE it is very frustrating to get all these messages saying why cant someone find the add button to add me as a friend.

Hmm, not sure if this would help, but I've noticed that in your navigation, bio, extras, and stuff like this have a z-index of 0. Have you tried messing with the numbers and setting them as 1, 2, or 3?

[orangetoysoldier]

yes I have messed with the z-index a couple of times with no results.

[xTHExDUDEx]

I agree with Hygienic, the z-order does look funny, you have multiple "z-index:0;" where 0 is the universal default for (I'm pretty sure) all modern browsers.

I only had a quick skim through as I've got my own IE problems at the moment but I did notice .comt has two mentions in your CSS and is given a different z-index in each instance; 7 and 1.

I noticed a "ModMyProfile" in there as well, maybe you could ask the author/site you acquired it from?

[orangetoysoldier]

actually the layout is created by me, the mod my profile is a small code used to hide something. I did remove it to see if there was any change but still no change so I put it back. Are you saying that there is double of one thing in my layout or are you saying i need to make them both the same z index. I have tried making all of the zindexs 9 and it does not work. I dont really know what to do about the z index thing.

CODE

<style type="text/css">
.ModMyProfile_Tweaks_Hide_View_Friends_link {}
.redlink{DISPLAY:NONE;VISIBILITY:HIDDEN;}
</style>

On the contrary, ".ModMyProfile_Tweaks_Hide_View_Friends_link {}" does absolutely nothing and is only a message to whoever is doing the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V dance.

It's actually ".redlink{DISPLAY:NONE;VISIBILITY:HIDDEN;}" that does the styling.

It's not a good idea to set all of your elements to z-index:9;
The z-index determines the order of depth of elements and should be kept as structured as possible.

What did you use to code this anyway and what browser did you code for?

[orangetoysoldier]

ok i will change that, thanks. Also please help me then with the z-index if you think thats the problem because i have tried to change it but it does nothing.

[MissHygienic]

Hmm, just play around with numbers. I'm not too comfortable with z-indexes myself. Try going down the number line. Z-index of Bio can be 1, z-index of Extras can be 2. Or two elements can be 2. Again, like I said, I'm not completely sure if this is the problem in your coding.

[orangetoysoldier]

i have been playing with the z-index and still not showing. I even removed one of the background images to see if the content was under it and it is not even there. I really do not understand what the deal is. Especially since the profile is modeled after this one :

this site

which shows up fine in both IE and firefox and has the same z-index pattern. What happen that this is not working??

Looks like you've sorted this problem, judging from your original post

PM me or another member of the staff if you do need this reopening.
