Hiya.

Any idea why this piece of CSS isn’t working in IE 5.01? I know it’s an old browser, but just wondered if there was a way to fix it, as it’s the only piece of our site that doesn’t render correctly.

[code=php]
#maincontent .seperation {
border-top: 3px double #CCCCCC;
}
[/code]

We’re using it with <p class=”seperation”></p>

Thanks.

Regards,

@DanUKauthorSep 19.2004 — Hi Fang.

Any ideas why IE5.01 doesn't show it then? Something to do with the way I formed the CSS or anything?

Once this is done, our layout (fully CSS) and quite complexish works in:

IE 4.01, 5.01, 5.5, 6

Firefox 08->

Opera 7.26->

Netscape 7.x

Mozilla 1.x

Konqueror 3.1->

Safari 1.2

any others I haven't been able to test.

This is why it's just this one silly seperator that isn't working and it's driving me mad! Hehehe!

Thanks a million.

@Paul_JrSep 20.2004 — It seems IE 5.0 has a problem with empty elements. Add &amp;nbsp; between the start and end tags, and you should be good to go.

@David_HarrisonSep 20.2004 — I would be interested to see your layout, it's not that I don't believe you, but it just seems ... unlikely that it will work in IE4.

@DanUKauthorSep 20.2004 — Paul Jr: Thank you ever so much. Adding the nbsp; has indeed fixed it. ?

lavalamp: I should edit that post, I pasted it directly from a "working site" page - and although IE4 is listed, it doesn't render correctly at all. Sorry about that. The rest seem accurate though.
