If you view the site on IE7 or IE8, the navigation menu is on the right hand side and central of the screen.

Read through this post for a bit of code that should sort it out. Thanks to Gunsmoke....

Now, why does this sound like 'deja vu all over again'...?

Have some patience Melissa; - we always TRY to understand you!

Simon, I assume you refer to this post: http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/html-ed … post209960 ?

And if that is not enough, Melissa, you may want to try using <div>s instead of <section> and <article>, since those HTML5 elements probably would not be properly recognized by IE before 9 or 10.

Have every browser and every version of windows so you can test every eventuality before making a website live

Or do as Mr Selfridge recommends , accept that the customer is always right

Its a business website, you want every clients business, make sure its going to work for every potential client

I guess anyone viewing my website Delorean will also have similar issues, i am aware Apple mac customers struggle to order on line, just as well i have more orders than i can cope with

enough said, i too am out of here

Melissa, if the client is using an outdated version of IE, there's a good chance his browser is messing with HTML5 elements it doesn't understand (like <nav>).

You can add code snippets to your page to make all browsers recognize these elements, or you can change your code to something that already works (<div id="topnav">, for example).
When you open a new blank page in the HTML Editor, notice the code in the head includes the HTML5 shim. That's there to prevent these weird browser renderings.


You should also ask what version of IE the client is using. If it's below 9, well – your site isn't the only one he'll be seeing wonky things on. You could try, with as much subtlety as possible, to let him know that browser upgrades are FREE

Clients it's hard when they "know" more than we do!

That's the article! There are workarounds out there. Just gotta be patient.

She hasn't bothered to come back here since Friday so she hasn't seen a single one of your replies most likely. Sad when people get so impatient and rude, expecting people to just understand their messages without fail. *sighs*

With all the help she's received here (which has been a good bunch of it to say the least) you would think she would treat you guys a lot better than that.

Just sayin'

Jo Ann, I think its a occupational hazard, baring in mind what she does for a living, and the type of hassle her clients are requiring her services for.

But you are right, she has had a lot of help, the impatience and comments like " I am out of here " are uncalled for
