Anyone here using IE7??

[dashu1]

Is there anyone here using ie7 who would mind having a look at :

www.intermindsevents.com and seeing if the drop down menu under "workshops" in the menu bar works okay?

Thanks.

IE tester is worth getting: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

Thanks I keep looking at those but I'm trying to avoid adding any more programs to the computer, it's slow enough as it is.

Maybe just one more though...

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />

Adding this to the start of the page head section should result in IE8 rendering the page in IE7 mode.

I dont think that helps at all.

What I meant is that is no help in this situation, let me explain:

He wants to know if the site looks right in IE7
You are suggesting a way to make the site look like it would in IE7 in IE8.
Which just means even more browsers would have the problems ie7 has (if it has them)

He didn't mention which browser he is using...

If you do have IE8 it is a very useful property to toggle on and off, as and when required for cross compatibility testing - not just the html renderer but the javascript engine (which I don't think you get in most emulators). It doesn't affect other browsers, it just tells IE8 to treat the document as if it were IE7 (or older versions if desired).

Thats a good point, I just overlooked he might have IE8/9 as I am on OSX
