[pmwiki-devel] Fwd: bizarre IE bug...

Fri Nov 17 05:25:56 CST 2006

I've made a small discovery:  when I change the skin, the page shows
up as expected in IE.  Indicating the problem must be in the skin.

This is the html output of the <bad> skin in FireFox, but somehow IE
is not getting it.  As there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with
the code

<html>
<head>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='chat.css' type='text/css'/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main"><!--PageText-->
<div id='wikitext'>
<div class='fpltemplate'><p><span  style='color: red;'>Caveman:</span>
Hello<br />
<span  style='color: red;'>Caveman:</span> How are you...<br />
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

The template I use to produces this is:

<html>
<head>
<link rel='stylesheet' href='chat.css' type='text/css'/>
</head>
<body>
<div id="main"><!--PageText--></div>
</body>
</html>

And here's the css:

body { font-family: helvetica, sans-serif; color: black; margin: 30px;
padding: 0; }
a {     font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: red; }
a:hover { text-decoration: underline; color: red; }
li a {color: black; font-weight: normal;}
h1 { font-size: 120%; }
h2 { font-size: 140%; }
h3 { font-size: 160%; }
h4 { font-size: 180%; }
h5 { font-size: 100%; }
h6 { font-size: 75%;  }
ol li { margin-left: -.5cm;     }
ul li { margin-left: -.63cm; list-style-type: square; }
#main { margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 30px; }

Evidently something in one of the files is preventing PmWiki from
serving up an acceptable file to IE.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Caveman

PS. These are the ONLY two files in my chat skin folder.
