Hi,

Some time ago you gave me some code to insert in the backend of the J51 Privilege template, to give a warning to a visitor that they are using an out of date browser. Here it is:

<!--[if lte IE 7]>
<style type="text/css">
#ie6msg{border:3px solid #eee; background:#fff; padding:20px;color:#000;
margin:100px auto; width: 600px;}
#ie6msg h4{margin: 8px; padding:0;}
#ie6msg p{margin: 8px; padding:0;}
#ie6msg p a.getie7{font-weight:bold; color:#006;}
#ie6msg p a.ie6expl{font-weight:bold; color:#006;}
#body_bg {display:none;}
</style>
<div id="ie6msg">
<h4>Did you know that your browser is out of date?</h4>

On my own old version of IE the warning displays properly, but rather worryingly I'm getting complaints from clients that the website is misaligned and there is no top menu on their versions of IE, but they are not seeing any warning that they are using an out of date version of IE.

Can you advise me further? Do we simply need to tweek the code, so that all older versions of IE can read the error message?

Thanks,

Hi Maria,

In response to your email:

'Hi David

Have you made any changes to your site as it appears to be working fine now across IE8, IE9 and IE10?

Regards
Maria'

I've not done anything since our last communication. I've viewed the site on my version of IE10 and it looks fine (as it always did), but when I view it in the browser mode IE9, 8 or 7, it looks like the screenshot I've attached. In fact I've attached a screenshot of a page viewed in Chrome (which looks the same in IE10) and one viewed in IE9. Screenshots taken just before 17.30 today.

I can see that this might be frustrating, but why should it look fine when you view it and not fine when my client views it?

Best wishes,


David G
