Question

The CSS appears correctly in Firefox but doesn't seem to show up at all in IE. Any suggestions.

Answer 1

It shows up but not like it does in Firefox or Chrome. All of your timelines are pushed to the left as links and the top text is not formatted into 2 paragraphs. You'll need to link externally to a new, separate stylesheet (maybe name it fca-styles-ie.css) and yes, you'll pretty much need to build the whole thing again so it shows up in IE. When rebuilding it for IE, make sure you test it in IE only using your IE stylesheet. Leave the current sheet there as it works fine if the other browsers. Across the board, IE is a headache for coders and designers, just search around.



UPDATE: I played around with it and it looks fine on my local machine in IE. I noticed there may be a linking issue with your stylesheet names. Check those in your source code and you might try re-loading the code to your server. I get a () you might try deleting the "../" from the link, then preview in all browsers, including IE. Also, on lines 69 thru 90, you have Expanding Box errors and Double Float Margin Bugs. To fix this, go into your .css file and find .copy-98; then add "overflow: hidden," and "display: inline." Do this for all of your classes names ".copy-XX." These are IE6 errors that only take a minute to fix but will save you headache down the road. Hope this helps a little.

Answer 2

You need to make a separate IE only CSS file and call it with IE's Conditional Statement. IE still has bugs.
