IE6 causing content to duplicated [56k warn]

Post by Luke »

[link removed]

The last item in the category display is getting its product name and price duplicated below (look at it in IE6). At first I thought that it must be some kind of server-side error, but I checked the markup and saw that the duplicate isn’t in there. It is simply being duplicated by IE6 for some reason. I cannot for the life of me figure out what would be causing such a strange error. I would love some insight.

I'll need to take down this URL as soon as possible since this site isn't live yet, so that's just a heads up in case you get a 404.

This is the part I'm talking about:

it's probably caused by the html comments. (yes, I'm serious). IE sometimes randomly shows pieces of content if you have a couple of floats in combination with html comments in between them.

Indeed he's correct, I've also seen something else cause it if you have elements in a certain order.. can often be fixed by adding in the odd br or <p> <div etc - one of the weirdest IE bugs around..

yeah IE does suck, but then it's aimed at the same people who buy $6k packard bells and shop online, they are the end user of the clients site, and as such all of us who know better are stuck making one application for X many browsers.

Suppose it's a bit like making releases for linux, sun and windows..

:idea:

I'm going to start explicitly mentioning that I only support Firefox 1.5> IE7 Safari - any other browsers will incur extra costs :) *advices the whole community to do the same thing*
