Problem viewing with IE HELP?

[Skipjackrick]

Well, IE is used by 80% of the people that view my web pages and for some reason my page is not being displayed properly with IE.  Firefox works fine.

 

Can anybody give me an idea why?  I updated IE to the latest.  Java is updated to the latest?  Something with my CSS? or Javascript?

The menu items have a value of -1 for 'has layout'. You may be wondering what this means (I did the first time I found it).

 

Here is some info about it:

I am confused?  Do I need to set something in my CSS file?

[haku]

Yes. And you need to read the article I posted.

[Skipjackrick]

Yes. And you need to read the article I posted.

 

Got it.

 

Thanks for that article.  I've got it fixed for now but I need to go back and edit a few things.

 

I am just thankful it was only in the CSS file and I didn't have to edit 30 other pages to fix that.

No worries. The haslayout is a HUGE pain in the butt. Its also too random to be able to tell someone else what to do to fix their problem, as there are a number of potential ways it can be fixed, but none that seem to be guaranteed.
