Comments displaying weird on channel nine theme - CSS help

Posted by HS on November 25, 2008 at 1:44am

Hello,

Could someone assist me with this? See the first comment here. It appears squashed to the left only on Internet Explorer when I checked on firefox3 it appears as it should. Not sure what's going on and not sure what value to change on the CSS file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ahah, its the comment title.. i see, let me see if i can figure that out.

Well its really hard to track down since its an IE problem. I would recommend trying the following none of which really make sense.

Try setting
h3 a { display:block; float:none; clear:both; margin-left:0; margin-right:0; }

If that fixes it then i would start removing one param at a time until you find the magic bullet. also I would add a little line height to your h3 tags as if the user does put a title to long for the line in the letters wont be squished together, i tend to make it at least 5px higher then what the font size is.

anyway, good luck with that and I hope my suggestions don't waste your time!

Didnt work

Leotemp,

It didn't work mate. The channel nine theme doesn't use (h3 a) I tried it on the (h2 a) but nothing happened.

Are you still having this

Are you still having this problem? I wasn't aware it was a theme i could install myself. If you still can't figure it out let me know and I will take a swing at channel 9 on my dev server.

Thanks a ton leo! I have

Thanks a ton leo! I have since dropped the channel nine theme altogether. It's just not very user friendly and extremely bare. Thanks so much for your help and responses. Greatly appreciated mate.

No problem, I am glad you

No problem, I am glad you found a solution even if it was going backwards a bit. I personally have a local copy of Drupal with every variation of views and odd block widgets i can think of specifically for testing themes. Although this is for theme development it would really come in handy for anyone testing free themes to make sure they aren't walking into a trap. I highly recommend others do the same and if you just ram it full of lorem ipsum and whatever images you have around it should only take about 20 minutes which isn't a lot of time considering the headache it can save you in the future.
