Re: Scaling down/Centering complete Buddypress
David,
Sorry realised that I’d already got body width at a fixed size but not in site-wide, which when looking at it now seems obvious.
Problem with IE however is in the calculating of sizes. When a user resizes the screen some elements are left floating and are not in line with the rest of the page. Hitting refresh works but it doesn’t help the user experience.
The body width works fine in most cases, but the need to fix the rendering bug in IE is what has been causing the problem. That is what the javascript has been about. But in drilling down through various forums, the answer has been to try and fix the css. The problem seems to be the inheritance or lack of it of position:relative in IE. Adding this to a top-level div seems to work (for me anyway)…
Hope that makes sense…..
