HyperGadget B0rk’d on IE — and the fix
It would be nice if everyone was using The Better Browser, but unfortunately, that is not the case.
Not only that, but many are tethered to IE by the restrictions placed upon them by IT Departments that do not allow installation of even the most benevolent of softwares. (Firefox, that is)
It seems our k2-based WordPress theme on HyperGadget was not displaying correctly on IE.
In retrospect, I had seen this problem before. Oftentimes when images in posts are too wide (in k2-based themes), IE fails to show the sidebar or it’s displayed at the very bottom. We’ve all seen sites like this at one time or another.
We’ve managed to fix it up for now, but it was not fun. Hopefully we can work some CSS magic if IE will allow it… otherwise it’s off to image-resizing / width-height-specifying we go!
