Testing the greenhouse theme, I tried to replace the original image (img06.jpg) with my own photo in the header part. Firefox shows the page correctly, but with Internet Explorer 6 the photo is displayed in a wrong position (it is shifted downwards). Screenshot is attached.
Any idea?

If the original image displays incorrectly, that would be the only thing I could help you with. Once the theme is modified and original theme items are replaced/removed, I can't be held responsible for the theme breaking.

Therefore, this is not a Bug. It's a support request.

Now in response to your support request, try changing the dimensions of the photo to be the same as img06.jpg.

Ok. Sorry. I'm newbie regarding drupal.
The height of the photo is the same. Maybe I found the reason. I modified the page.tpl.php file so that it doesn't show the slogan text on the top of the image. IE6 seemed not to like it. If I write a 'space' in h2, the photo is in the right place.
However IE6 still draws a thin green line below the header section.

You seem to have a handle on things now.

Hm, after adding some contents to my drupal site, IE6 (and now IE7 also?) started to show other strange behavior. EVEN with the original, unmodified greenhouse theme! Can you check http://www.lumenegyuttes.com with IE? The primary links menu is shifted down a bit. Strange. Firefox is ok. Do you have any idea?

I'm looking at the site right now and I still see an image that did not come with the theme! The theme on your site still appears to be modified.

Load the unmodified theme and then get back to me.

And for proof, I've loaded up the unmodified theme on my personal website. The screen shots for both IE6 and IE7 are as attached.

I will leave this theme on my personal site for a few weeks because I have faith that the theme I built being cross browser compatible.

The strange thing is that two weeks ago IE7 showed the page correctly. After that time I only installed some new modules and added some new contents. It is weird.
I will try to make some systematic testing/setup on my home computer or on a test site. I will keep you informed.

I just looked at your site in IE7 and it looks fine to me.

I really can't be held responsible for theme elements shifting when a module adds elements to the page. The themes I contribute work for what come out of the box in Drupal. There would be no way to test for all modules in contrib. It's just not feasible.

If you can't find anything wrong with the theme, could you close this support request? I closed it last time and you reopened it. I don't want to close it prematurely again.

This issue has been keeping me up at night, so I finally decided to look at the source for the theme.

It appears your modified version of greenhouse has javascript inserted between the body tag and the div tag which contains the menu (

Thank you for all your efforts and support! Some days ago I also checked what the browser shows when I view the source. That line is added somehow by the hosting server, I didn't add it myself! I will contact and ask extra.hu. Anyway I still want to play and test a bit the original theme. Sometime after tomorrow. I'll come back and let you know my experiences. So I don't close this issue yet.

It appears we've got to the bottom of this. It's the host provider screwing up the theme. Hopefully they can help by removing that line (which I have a feeling they won't).

I created a test site with clean and very basic (only core) drupal installation. The greenhouse theme looks fine so far with IE6, IE7 and Firefox <=1.0.8. So, I'm not sure now that this extra 'line' causes the problem. You can check the site here: http://lumendevel.extra.hu.
I will try to move forward step by step and check what happens.

Oops. Playing with lumendevel.extra.hu I couldn't reproduce the behavior. So I tried to export all drupal and mysql files from the original website and I imported them as a new website at http://lumensite.extra.hu.
And wow, IE7 shows me this site correctly. Can you verify that it's ok with IE7 and IE6 for you?
So, this nasty error should be related with the host provider. I have sent an email to them asking to correct the error.

That's exactly what I thought (http://drupal.org/node/190094#comment-641042).

Your dev site works fine for me in IE7. Hopefully your host provider can help you fix this problem.
