Wrath brought up a problem he has been having with my blog, he can’t post comments. He says he gets the “Leave a Reply” box, but he can’t see what he is typing in, and can’t see any boxes for entering name and all that stuff, or a button to submit the comment.
I have tested my blog in Safari & Firefox on Mac OSX, IE7 & Firefox on Vista, and Firefox on W2K, but hadn’t tried it on IE6 under W2K … and this is where the problem seems to be… and seems to be a CSS problem, because my right hand column does not render right.
SO if you are having problems viewing or leaving comments on my blog let me know. Also I would recommend using Firefox if you are not already. I even added a link badge in the right hand bar for you…:)

Wrath’s on IE?! LMAO! And Windows2000 is nothing but trouble. Really.

Uh oh, Wrath, I think we need to hold a bakesale for you, brother. But in any case, download Firefox immediately. *holds up hand* I don’t want to hear it. Just download it.

Or if your really brave you can try Safari for Windows….
edit
just a fyi, the blog looks fine with Safari on Vista….

Just to add my two eurocent here:
Looking at the CSS, I see two things that might be a problem for IE6: First, all elements in the comment DIV are set to “float:left”, so the IE might just stretch the comment DIV to the right instead of keeping its width and putting the elements underneath each other if they don’t fit. Second, the line-height is set to 1.5em, which the IE might not understand correctly.
Besides that, GET FIREFOX!
PS: Yes, I’m a computer geek.

its true though, at work where they hacve internet explorer but her at home with firefox theres no problem. what a weird problem though…

Yep, I am here to confirm I have to use Firefox to post comments.
Despite what all the hardcore Firefox users might think, hehe, until Firefox has more than under 20% of the browser market, I think websites still need to be compatible with IE6….
@ Vint - Hey, I can’t help it if the IT Dept at work insists on using W2k, especially considering the MS campus is two blocks down the road from us. Oh, and they won’t give us admin permissions to install other programs…
@ Alex - And no, I won’t be switching to Firefox entirely until they implement a few more tab options that my Netcaptor browser offers. (Such as, let me put the tabs on the bottom already! And fix the lock tab plug-in to work properly! and other things I’m used to, hehe)

@Wrath — Firefox is currently 33.7% of the browser market, as of May 2007:

And as far as the features you like, i’m sure they’re nice, but the flexibility of the Firefox plug-ins is way too nice for me to go with anything else–until someone does it one better. I remain unconvinced that there isn’t a Firefox setup that you would find more efficient once you used it for a few days.
The fact that IE6 doesn’t adapt to CSS float:left (you’re right about that, Timothy) is ridiculous.
But Desert — I think there is a workaround for the float:left problem. Search the tips at wpdesigner.com–and I’m pretty sure it’s mentioned in the tutorial there on how to build a wp theme from the ground up.
