IE-7 Not Liking Width Computation (Surprise Right?)

A developer's favorite browser is misbehaving, yet again.

In IE7 and problably 6 too ( are people still using that), when you do a trio of blocks (I haven't tried other combinations, the template computes an inline width of 33.33%. So when I put 3 modules, for instance top 4-6, or user 4 - 6, the third module breaks containment.

Using the web developer, if the width is changed just to 33.00%, the 3rd module will jump back up to where it belongs.

I rather not mess with the layout block files, do you think you guys can get a quick update for this problem?

I can't wait until the day IE7 becomes nothing more than a bad memory:dry:

I ran into that but you can correct it with CSS, Gavern is so wonderful :>) find the name of the module, lets say it's Top4 thats hanging over and dropping. You can add the CSS for any module by using CSS like this below.



#gkTop4 {width: 20%;}

Now to really get freaky with the layout you can do all the top1-top7 modules like this to suit your needs. either way as you know it will all add up to 100%
