I am new to Drupal development, not sure whether it is a known issue. Did not find an answer in google.

I am using drupal 6.19 and zen-6.x-2.0. I follwed its instruction and created a sub-theme. Immediately, I notice that in IE7,
the content area is moved left on top of the left sidebar area when I create content in a form.

Anybody knows about this? Any quick fix?

All the best.

Is your CSS optimized? Depending on how many stylesheets you are trying to load, it could be the IE's 31 stylesheet limit.

Also - did you edit the layout.css file and change the widths of all the columns?

Thanks so much for your input. I did not add any css or code to Drupal except the installed modules.

I did not touch any layout.css. I followed Zen's instruction to create a sub-theme. Did not touch anything.

I checked the .info file, the css layout is layout-fixed.css.

Cheers!

And you have optimized your CSS at admin/settings/performance?

I did a test of optimizing css and javascript, but the issue still exists. Then I disabled css/javascript optimization.

Thanks!

You might read over this post: http://drupal.org/node/123707.

Make sure you clear the cache after enabling CSS optimization, just to be on the safe side.

If that doesn't help, you might post in the issues queue for Zen (like the above link) - they can help you further troubleshoot.

Things look fine after I un-installed Administration Menu module (http://drupal.org/project/admin_menu)

Anybody has the similar problem?

Any fix? I really like the Administration Menu

Thanks!

I had a clean install of drupal 6.19 and added one module, test the interface, and then added another module.

Finally I discovered that it is caused by the combination of admin menu and date popup/jquery-ui.

To solve it, i can only use either admin menu or date popup/jquery-ui (date popup depends on jquery-ui), not both.

Please note that this problem happens in IE7 I am using, not in FF.

Could somebody out there give me some ideas about what to do to resolve this issue? I do want to have admin menu.

Thannks a lot!!!

Right. Thanks. I'd forgotten this already. With Zen and buch of modules you'll go easily over 31 stylesheets. Zen works fine in IE6 as long you have only plain Drupal install or checked CSS optimization (in admin/settings/performance). Otherwise one of the first CSS-files to be left out is ie6.css. Of course, while developing theme one may have lots of modules and CSS optimization NOT checked.

Hi All,

Is there somnething I missed in upgrading Zen that I need to know? Perhaps I need to replace some files in my subtheme?

My theme used to work fine in all browsers but ie6... Now when I am in IE7 or in IE8-IE9 (capatibility mode only) the content div crashes over the left sidebar. This is only with the front-page-tpl. here: http://www.vetshealing.org/

I have been trying to find some offending code but to no avail. Firebug lite for IE produce some quirky results for me...
I tried disabling a few modules like jquery-UI as mentioned in this post but it did not help.

Recently, I upgraded Zen from 6.x-1.0 to 6.x-1.2. I also upgraded a bunch of other modules including date, views, nicemenus etc.

I almost don't care anymore about IE7 and below but its still about 6% of the market.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thx!
