menu + ie6 & comments + actinic = aghhhh

[DarrenSpink]

Ahhh you see, Im a designer so my brain works differently! The idea behind the naming was so I could easily reference which bits of conditions should go where in between the HTML, I thought it was logical.

Hi Darren, I'm having the same problem with a menu, I've taken over the job half way through and I'm stuck with the same issue.

Can you show me a screen shot of the variable when working please?

thanks,

Shane

Shane, what do you need a shot of? The html with the variables? Or the variable window?

Send us a pm if you can't post urls in public.

Shane,

You might find the Starter Guide page 73; "Exercise - Creating a New Variable" and page 86; "Inserting Variables" worthwhile. Start / All Programs / Actinic v9 / and there it is.

Thanks Norman. I'll have a look at that now, although I thought I knew how to add variables, I havent used Actinic for a while so could be making a silly mistake (more then likely). Problem is, as always, this has just landed on my desk and is now at the urgent stage. we want to add:

<!--[if lte IE 7]>
<link href="ie.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<![endif]-->

To fix a problem with the padding on the menu, it looks okay in Actinic, if i prevew the site in IE it's grand. when uploaded the menu goes awry in IE. (fine in FF).

I added it to a variable and added that variable but when uploaded it's not working, so i'm thinking i must have done something wrong.

Both if you have the time! I'll PM you the site.

Thanks for the replies lads.

Can't you just serve up different stylesheets instead of inline code? You can also talk direct to IE6 using the * html hack, so maybe you don't even need different stylesheets. What is the problem you are trying to overcome and can you provide a live URL as it will make it much easier to correct?

Lee that's worked a treat for me. Problem solved lads, thanks for the replies.

Fixed it by using:

* html #mainmenu li ul {margin-top:0px;}

That was a completely different issue to mine anyway. Darren, your building it up like a joke everyone asks to hear in a group, then isn't funny anymore...its not that special, but I will post it when the site goes live.
