Philippe Verdy reports that help.launchpad.net pages cannot be read in Internet Explorer:
------------
I just see the decorations, the central content is empty.
...
The invisible part of the page is all what is within:
<div id="container">
<div id="maincontent">
<div class="pageheading"><!-- XXX obsolete --></div>
<div>
<div lang="en" id="content" dir="ltr">
<a id="top"></a>
...(the wiki content)...
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="portlets">
<div id="actions" class="portlet">
<h2>Wiki Destinations</h2>
...
</div>
<div class="portlet">
<h2>Page Actions</h2>
...
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div><!-- needed for Safari -->
</div>
After looking at the code, this seems related to a bug in the website CSS
stylesheet:
http://launchpad.net/+icing/rev3/style.css
line 70:
#maincontent {
...
display:inline;
float:left;
position:relative;
}
A "display:inline" element cannot float left... This should be
"display:block". And if it is floating, it can't be positioned at relative
position. There's some contradiction, and the result is unpredictable, as
one of these properties must be ignored (normally the last option wins, but
this is not guaranteed).
Changing it to "display:block" should solve the problem.
