    I seem to be having a CSS issue with IE8, it looks fine in FF on mac and PC. Fine with compatability mode one. But display is odd in straight IE8. Any CSS ninjas here that can take a look?

    I've tried everything I can think of.

    B,

    Great looking galleries there (except in IE 8)...I'm not sure what's going on with the CSS. I work on a Mac, so I'm not able to debug the IE issue. Do you get the same issue using a different theme? IE 8 looked ok on the demo on this site. You might look to see if there are any size related CSS rules in your theme that are related to CSS.

    Alternatively, if you don't need the features of PhotoSmash, you might try NextGen Gallery (the 800 pound gorilla of photo galleries).

    edit your Header.php from your theme and add:

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

    Thanks for the tip, whitemonster! I hope we can find what the issue is so that workaround isn't necessary.

    Does anyone have any updates on this issue?

    I have a site using the Catalyst theme and the Photosmash plugin and all my gallery thumbnails in IE8 refuse to display correctly, just showing a thin bar.

    I tried the meta tag mentioned above to no avail and even tried using it on individual pages where I use the gallery shortcodes but still IE8 refuses to cooperate. Forcing compatibility mode in the browser corrects things but I doubt most IE users even know about compatibility mode so I really do need to find a fix.

    Thanks in advance for any help - the site in question btw is

    Update:

    It seems to have been a theme specific issue. Just in case anyone has the same problem I found the solution here:

    Hi mosnell,

    Thanks for posting back! Glad you found the solution. I assume that people with the theme will be able to access the forum you linked to (it requires a login).

    Cheers,
    Byron
