Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Hi,
I am using the Newswire theme (6.x-4.1.)on Drupal 6.15 . This is a really beautiful theme and works very good.
After putting it online I started to receive comments that people using Internet Explorer are not able to view it in a normal look.
After inquiring it myself I noticed that the theme loses its complete structure, there is no navigation, no blocks, no layout...
During construction on Firefox and Safari nothing seemed wrong, even tests with Firefox developer tools and CSSedit showed only minor issues (some style issues like rounded corners or :last-child classes).
Since I saw some examples of Newswire that are performing well in Internet Explorer I suppose that I need to correct something.
Does somebody has any idea or knows what is going wrong?

ChrisBryant commentedI would suggest asking this question in the Newswire project issue queue. I've moved this issue there.

Jeff Burnz commentedToo many stylesheets probably , turn on CSS aggregation. FYI, :last-child is CSS3 (and valid).

johan2 commentedHi Jeff,
I have turned on CSS aggregation and everything works fine.
The fact of having all the CSS comes with the modules that I turned on.
My attention was going more to implementing all this functionality and I must say they all work!
Even the Ubercart with all the conditional actions.
Do you think that this creates to many stylesheets and needs to be cleaned up?
I thought that this was the way of working in Drupal, I left them all complete and was able to upgrade every time something upgraded.
After looking to the uploaded stylesheets I admit that there are a lot, but when I compare this with my former sites it is not excessively.

tallsimon commentedYes the modular implementation in drupal including the stylesheets is intentional and the bug is with ie6, not this module :-)
