Ie height hack

What could be going wrong here? Attached is html and css, the relevant css is at top, and is readable, the unreadable css isn't relevant. Ie Css Hack. Need Help! Hi all, I need some help. I know I need an IE hack to make my drop down menu on the header of this page work correctly hover over 'pictures', 'rides', or 'maps' but for the life of me I can't seem to find what that workaround hack is.

Please help! Oh yeah, of course, it work perfectly fine in Firefox. Here's a copy of the 2 CSS files I am using for this page Hello all, I'm really interested in hearing the opinions of those more seasoned in web development.

I have been working hard at learning CSS and believe I have really improved my web design skills because of it. I love working with CSS and have completely freed myself from tables. I am so tired of playing for hours with the coding just so my page looks okay in both IE and FF. I'd much rather my page look great in FF my prefered browser and to heck with IE.

I have made my stand and will no longer design my personal pages for IE. I have a clear message on one of them telling my visitors to wise up and download FF. Of course my audience allows me to get away with this. I realise that if your visitors are average surfers who barely know how to do a search on google, they aren't about to deviate from IE.

But for those audiences who have a little more internet experience, do you think it's cool to try and push them into using FF?

In terms of usage it's clearly on the rise, IE has been steadily declining. I'd really like to see IE hit bottom. The way I see it, as long us the development community continues to jump through hoops so people can keep using IE or other inferior browsers, there will be little motivation to develop some solid web browser standards.

Any thoughts? Yeah, we all know IE sucks because we have to do all types of extra css to make it work. The floated images will perform the rest of the hack for us. The above code results in You'll notice that the only defining CSS property which affects the minimum height this hack generates, is the height property in the prop class.

To make the code truly reusable anywhere on your pages, lets extract this property. Most browsers support multiple classes in this fashion. Now to define any minimum height, all you need to do is create a class containing only a height property and apply it with the prop class. As a final note, often the hack will be used as a way to apply a minimum height to an entire webpage, with a footer along the bottom.

This is similar to the way I used the hack on my own website prior to its most recent redesign. The code above, which was actually quite similar to my own layout, will give you something like:.

I wrote this article in , and the marketshare landscape has changed quite a bit since then. This hack will get a min-height working for you in all browsers including MSIE 5.

If you don't require support for MSIE 5. MSIE 7. This code is similar to this but slimmed down with new adjustments and examples. Below are three boxes using the min-height property, set to 50px :. However, this is an 'ideal world' scenario not always obtainable, as such- the above should help provide some good options. Here is a great resource for getting more information: browserhacks. I have been writing these and contributing them to BrowserHacks.

Please note that since nav li and nav a are outside of the media screen I will add further tests as new versions roll out, and hopefully be able to rely again on Modernizr. I'm using this test for fallback behavior. The fallback behavior is just less glamorous styling, it doesn't have reduced functionality. You can use js and add a class in html to maintain the standard of conditional comments :.

Improve this question. Paul Sweatte I initially posted an answer suggesting the usage of conditional comments but ExtPro explained that they were dropped in IE10 - msdn. Rather than using browser detection to target IE, it is better to use feature detection to check what's wrong with IE11 using Modernizr. If you give us the link to your website or elaborate your problem, I think some of us could help you to find out what's wrong with your site. Danield that's actually a fairly different question, if you read the whole thing.

Following three boxes have set the min-height property to px. But only Opera and Mozilla do support this property. We will use a next bug of MSIE. It wrongly treates the overflow:visible value. Instead of overflowing the content over the box's borders, the box height is stretched as if the height property was set to auto.
