Browser problems with opencart Firefox vs Internet Explorer

Hi all,

i'm having problems making my website look good on different browsers. is this a common problem with opencart?
When adjusting the opencart template i only used Firefox & google chrome to check if everything was looking OK,
but now i found out, there are a few problems when watching it in IE. Seen that 25% of the internet consumers still uses IE, i would like my website to look good in IE as well.

The main problem is the menu list with: log-in, basket, account, it has moved to the right of my page, would appreciate it, if someone could help me out!

my website = http://www.aguirrecords.com

thanks!
Pieter

Looks the same to me in FF3.6 and IE8
What browser versions are you using?

By the way, I don't think that differences in look between IE and the rest of the world when you're editing your template's HTML/CSS have anything to do with opencart. That's just something you have to take into account when developing themes: browsers (mostly IE) don't always do what they should do :)
Always check in all major browsers when developing.

tonnaer is correct - it's not OpenCart, it's Internet Explorer.

The problem is your template wasn't coded for a full length banner. Try this. In your stylesheet find

Code: Select all

#header .div2 {
	float: left;
	padding-top: 15px;
	padding-left: 15px;
}
Change it to

Code: Select all

#header .div2 {
	padding-top: 15px;
	padding-left: 15px;
}
