Hi guys, One of our own sites - my pride and joy - is http://www.glyfx.com. Unfortunately, I've just discovered a problem in IE5 (and I presume, IE5.5) at resolutions of 1024x768 and above and I have no idea how to fix it.
The site uses conditional comments to feed a max-width-emulating expression to IE browsers, which prevents the width of the main area from going over 800 pixels, while still allowing it to go down to really small widths without sideways scrolling. But in IE5 the extra stylesheet doesn't appear to be applied until after the page is reloaded. I browse to a page, the background image splits on the left, I hit reload, the constrained width kicks in. I browse to another page, same thing happens. Any ideas on how to fix this, if not with CSS then maybe some kind of scripting? I thought maybe I could use the conditional comments to feed some JavaScript directly to IE5, but I'm not savvy enough in JS to work out how not to create an infinitely refreshing loop :) Looking at our stats, IE5 and IE5.5 combined barely equal 3%, and despite over 300 unique visits per day, we've never had a complaint :) But, I still would like to fix it! And, if you spot anything else on the site that could be better, please let me know. I spotted some peekaboo problems in IE5 too, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix...
