Siteground66 and Firefox 1.06

[ONU]

Hi there,

I just checked via an emulation of old browsers, and the repeated line responsable for the middle bit of the paper background (../images/main_bg.jpg) of Siteground66 did not get shown in Firefox 1.06.

In "template_css.css", it gets defined as background in

#mainbody
...
....
background: url(../images/main_bg.jpg) top center repeat-y;

This does work in IE 5, 6 and 7, Opera, Safari, Debian as well as in more recent versions of Firefox.

Searched but couldn't find anything anywhere on this.

Many thanks,
Olaf

Please note Firefox 1.06 is very outdated and should not be used for browsing.

The templates are compatible with the latest web standards.

However, thank you for your feedback.

I will make sure I forward it to our template designers.

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the quick response & I very much appreciate Siteground providing these templates for free.

I also agree it would be great if everybody used a current browser.

But when somebody with an old browser version looks at a site that looks strange to him, they will simply think the author did a botch job.

Difficult to draw a line here, e.g. Netscape 4.x is dead for sure, IE5 pretty much is as well.

IE6 on the other hand still has a massive marketshare and it doesn't even support things as base as PNGs. I read about a market share of above 1% for Firefox 1.x, so if it is 1 in 100 users, personally I think it still matters.

Again, keep up the great work,

Best,
Olaf

OK,

Here's how to get the background line in Firefox 1.06: you add a <div style="clear:both"> (or call a div ID you added to the CSS sheet)

in index.php

between line 33 <div id="mainbody"> and line 34 <div id="main_top">

However, there's still a minor problem as some lower parts of "main_top.jpg" do not get displayed??

---------------------
Here's also a fix I found in another forum for the problem I had in all browsers with submenu items of the main menu (wrong-coloured blocks getting displayed in the background):

In template_css.css,

line 217, a.sublevel:hover

the colour info "#7d7d7d" between "background" and "URL" should be deleted.

Worked fine for me.

Best,
Olaf
