Borders - different size in FF and IE6

Emsan · 03-18-2008, 08:02 AM

On my site: http://angels.fan-sites.org/index.php
The borders looks fine in FF but in IE6 they are larger. This is how it looks like in IE6: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../IEborders.jpg

I have the same problem on all my sites. I have searched and I haven't found anything that may help.

what borders?

I don't have IE6 on this machine so I looked at that image and in both IE7 and FF....and they look the same...

The pink borders above all the "headlines". It's a dotted border.
They are thin and look good on FF and IE7 but not on IE6.

You sure you set all the properties for it? Looks like one is "dashed" and the other is "dotted".

I have set them all to dotted. Maybe px isn't the right unit?

That's what I was originally thinking, that the size, width, whatever it is, isn't set. That would be my guess.

Also, there are still some who use IE6, but for the majority, IE7 is now standard and Microsoft has pushed that. So, I wouldn't take too long on this problem if it's only IE6. IE7, IE8, FF2 and FF3 all show the same border to me.

^^ Yes it's only IE6 that shows the problem. Maybe I shouldn't think too much about it. I'm a perfectionist lol.

Well, I hate to say to can this one, but IE6 had a lot of problems, rendering and security alike. Microsoft, pretty much forces people to download IE7, making IE6 useless and uncommon now. So, I wouldn't think to much into the problem.
