Help make my site work with IE

[kitki83]

Ok now that my website is working was having webhost problems. Now I can get the help I wanted from the forums. I basically updated my website, what my goal is create a solid layout and easily change the design of it. I think best example is CSS Zen. Right now I have the rough layout but cannot get the current design to work with IE. I explored PNG>JPG and tweak some code around. Nothing really change after each step.

The weird thing my previous design was IE friendly, I did minor changes in code.

where are the ie css files you're calling? iestyles.css, ie5styles.css and ie6styles.css

Yeah it looks like you fotgot to upload the iestyle.css file or placed it in the wrong spot. I also noticed you have some CSS errors. Check it against the validator, http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Ok I originally took them off but are not put back with some coding corrections.
Is the newest version of IE 6 or 7?

I am right now going through the CSS corrections which will take me time.
I finally got it to start loading IE format I wanted but I still have white blank areas which I cannot understand why I am getting them.

Also is there a way to declare If IE go to this directory and load this site at X directory?

Thanks for the help guys I think from now on its trial and error.

To have IE-only redirect to a different page you can try

<!--[if IE]>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://othersite" />
<![endif]-->

I've never tried this exact solution, but would be worth a try. Place it inside the head tag.

This works perfectly and best solution for the time being while I try to correct the coding to be IE friendly.
