Technical fix for BlogHerRoll issues in IE

Thanks go to BritBlogHer Improbulus from Consuming Experience for bringing this issue to our attention. (I, being a Mac user, never view things in IE and had no idea there even was an issue.)

Is your sidebar dropping to the bottom of the window in IE - yet it looks fine in Firebox or other browsers? Usually that's because IE can't properly handle something that's too wide for a particular section of your webpage...

For example, say you display a blogroll in your blog sidebar (e.g. the BlogHerRoll in mine) by inserting some Javascript code in your template. Well, just one blog in the blogroll list which has too long a title for the width of the sidebar may make your entire sidebar drop to the bottom of the window, in Internet Explorer.

Improbulus provides sample code to add to the BlogHerRoll javascript code you've already added to your site to fix this problem.

See her post for the details.

Thanks again!

I Improbulus, even though I mispell her name. She is one of the few women who are part of the Corante Web Hub and I'm really glad she blogs there. I have used her tips, tricks and cogent explanations to great effect and am constantly sharing links to her blog. What a woman.

Hey, are you coming to Blogher this year???

Hi, Nancy, thanks very much for your comments, you are too kind. I'm very glad we share the same Corante "platform" too!

I doubt I'll be able to make it to BlogHer this year, but you never know. Do look me up if you're ever in London.

Cheers
Imp.
