Thanks

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. What OS is this? W2000 or WXP?

Unfortunately Microsoft has never produced a fully CSS compliant browser. Seems like I will have to make some hotfixes to make it work with IE. 

Could you please send me the exact version of IE and your OS so I can test it?

With a "real" browser (FireFox) there are no problems whatsoever, but I have never encountered system crashes with IE before either.

A temp. workaround would be to switch off the WYSIWYG editor ("disable rich-text") and write html code directly.

Weird

 

It doesn't do that for me. Thanks for letting me know. I will have to check some css code over the weekend. If I can't reproduce it, I will ask you to check it again.

This is what it looks like for me:


 

Maybe I should switch to a fixed width layout. They are easier to control but very ugly on my big screens.

Hotfix

As an intermediate solution I simply switched off the sidebars when someone enters text.

I don't want to devote too much energy into fixing this right now, since I am planning a complete rework of this website. Under the hood I will switch to a more recent version of my system that will also offer a lot more to the users. The Front Page will be completely re-done (like a portal). All of this requires that I will have to work on the theme again.

Hopefully I can fix everything at once. For now this should work just fine.

I have no idea why your browser would crash. My best guess is that you need a new version of Java, but I haven't heard a similar thing from anyone else. Since I will move to a new code base soon, all problems on my side should be fixed then.

Please let me know if this fixed the horrible overlapping problem. It seems to be a problem for users with a low resolution.

Currently I have set up the system, so that the content in the middle has a minimum width. This width is wider for the text box. If the sidebars + the content width are more than your screen resolution there are some problems. I will fix this as soon as I have some spare time.
