I've narrowed it down - I think - to a padding issue. So, try checking for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the search box. Try looking for this in catalog/includes/boxes/search.php 'text' => tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: ' . (BOX_WIDTH-30) .

php_Guy Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 <rant> The "reason" for the problem is that IE is a non-compliant piece of **** browser. Unfortunately, it is also the most common (with IE6 and IE7 combined barely staying ahead of FF). Microsoft has big claims for IE8 being considerably more standards compliant. But it will be years before IE6/7's market share drops to the point where we can stop supporting it's shortcomings. </rant> Fortunately, issues with IE are well known and hacks are well documented. Search on google should give you whatever you need. A big one is not to use margin and padding on the same css element. This can cause IE to use an inflated padding amount. Using a container element for one or the other is an easy workaround. Also, all browsers have different default settings for various html elements. Most web designers use resets (search for css reset on google) to even the playing field and give a more consistent presentation across browsers. Most likely, in your case, some element is displaying slightly differently in one browser than another causing the container to widen to support it. Check the search box, as suggested above, and look for anything else that is pushing against the right side of the column. hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
