are different template views for different browsers possible

[verbatim]

is it possible to edit the index.tpl & style.css files so that they perform one way in internet explorer and another way in netscape?

i would simply like to add a "<div>" in my style.css file but only to affect the template when it appears in a netscape browser?

how can this be done??

You can do that either with

Code: Select all

<!--[if IE]>
type the stuff that only should appear in IE here
<![endif]-->

or you can use javascript browser-checks in your index.tpl to denote that. You could also write a plugin that uses different templates based on the HTTP string.

But I discourage all those efforts. Creating different pages for different browser shouldn't be done - you should always get similar results when using some CSS hacks, that should suffice.

thanks for the reply.

any idea why this page looks different in IE and netscape?

all i did was add an image in the line right below the following code in the index.tpl

Code: Select all

div id="serendipity_banner">
     <h1><a class="homelink1" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle}</a></h1>
    <h2><a class="homelink2" href="{$serendipityBaseURL}">{$head_subtitle|@default:$blogDescription}</a></h2>

[/url]

Your CSS code has an error; check your definition in the CSS of #serendipity_banner. It is defined with

Code: Select all

    height: 72px;

but of course your image is higher than 72px, so you need to adjust the #serendipity_banner element.
