Hi!

Our site, http://www.fuhnee.com, uses Panels for displaying 2 rows of 3 thumbnails in the right sidebar (in two Blocks, each created by a View).

The 3 thumbnails look good in IE 6, Firefox, Opera, and Safari, but for some reason in IE 7 we get (instead of 2 rows of 3 pics each) 2 pics, 2 pics, 1 pic, 1 pic.

This is what we get in all other browsers:

PICTURE -- PICTURE -- PICTURE
PICTURE -- PICTURE -- PICTURE

This is what we get in IE 7:

PICTURE -- PICTURE
PICTURE -- PICTURE
PICTURE
PICTURE

Can you help me figure out why? I'm not sure if it's caused by Panels or not, but nothing else seems relevant.

Thank you!

-Roy.

Update: I've stopped using Views and Panels. I've rewritten the Blocks to use hand-coded PHP and an HTML table. Symptom solved, but I'd still like to know why it had never worked in IE 7 but did in every other browser I could find.

Obviously an issue with IE rather than panels, even though the panels module probably should look for possible workarounds.

I have a site where I use the panels in a 33-34-33 layout. All browsers are happy with this but IE7. (IE 7.0.5.730.11 to be exact). In this browser the rendered page becomes super-wide. I mean literally thousands of page-widths. Totally b0rken.

This is kind of a setback since the panels gives me exactly what I want in no-time.

I recall a workaround for something else that you may want to try. work with 99% rather then 100, try 33,33,33

Version: 4.7.x-1.2 » 5.x-1.x-dev

Forgot to mention what version of panels this was concerning. I'm running panels-5.x-1.x-dev on drupal-5.3. I just tried panels-5.x-2.0-alpha11, but after running update.php it won't even work properly :-)

I believe you can ignore all my posts in this issue. This issue is only relevant to the theme I'm using (A customized version of B7). Switching to blue marine or garland fixed my issue.

Thanks for your tip anyway, VeryMisunderstood :-)

Sometimes issues like this can be fixed by reducing the padding or margin of whatever div/html entity the main content of the page is in. IE and margin and padding are...finicky.

If my comments in #6 don't fix this, re-open but the only solutions I know are to reduce the overall width in your theme by making the columns a little narrower, or to reduce the margins/padding in your theme by adding an extra div around $content that has no padding or margin. Sometimes making it positoin: relative helps too
