Final recipe site almost done....

I did notice quite a few issues with older versions of IE. Unfortunately I don't have the know-how to fix all the little things that don't work 100% on older browsers (like the live search pulling off to the right) but I'm sure I'll get there

Worst of it is I don't have an old copy of IE myself so troubleshooting would involve going on the works PC, trying something, going back to the lappy to correct it, back to the works pc, try it again, etc, etc, etc

Site is looking good. i am on a similar venture but don't get too much time to work on it at the mo.

The only thing i can suggest about certain page elements not displaying properly in (reasonably) old browsers is to make sure the HTML that your PHP outputs conforms to a standard. HTML 4.01 for example.That way you don't have to keep chopping and changing browsers for test purposes, and 99.9% of the time it will display as intended , and on all devices.

I had IE, Chrome :evil: , Opera, Firefox and Safari installed once. Computer didn't like that one bit.

Do you use CSS to lay out your pages? If so its worth noting that some code is browser specific. Ive nearly pulled my hair out sometimes trying to layout my pages :lol:

Cheers for the comments.

It's not really the PHP that's the issue, it's actually the javascript. I have a few live searches and with the browser in work (IE7) they pop up to the right of the search box rather than below (as they do in IE9 & Chrome). Not really sure what's causing it but addmitedly, I haven't really looked into it at the moment.

In firefox the smartmenus don't work, again more java. Using CSS for almost everything. I'm on a couple of forums that have been handy so when I get time I'll make up a couple of examples and post them up for the gurus :)

It's not a huge deal, it's just a bit of an inconvenience for people using these browsers. I'm sure I'll get there though. Priority at the moment is to make some tutorials and sort out the image uploading :)

Could one of you good fellas do me a favour. I think I've cracked the uploading gambit. Just need to be sure it works for you guys.

Just looking for someone to go into "brewlog" then "add brewlog" make up a heading and type some jibberish into the body, click "add". Once it's added click on the new heading that you have just created then try uploading a picture. Click the link to add the picture to your post and then click update.

Just want to make sure the attachments etc all work. If you get stuck just give me a shout and I'll try to help out.

Thanks :)

Works a charm

Fantastic, thanks

Happy camper now, that's the images all secure. Before they were open for every member to see/edit/delete etc. Now members can only edit/delete their own images :)

Slowly but surely getting there.
