death to IE 7 & 8 ;-)

[maya90]

could please someone who has IE handy see if this page looks the same IE 7 8 as it does in all the other browsers? (I assume IE9 should look the same as moz & webkit? )

I load a stylesheet for IE7/8... does it work?

thank you very much....

No, it does not look the same at all. It has none of the rounded corners or spacing

Attached is a picture with Chrome and IE8 next to each other.

oh my gosh.. this means that using "rem" for padding doesn't work...

following advice here,
http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012...ve-typography/

am using "rem" for font-size, instead of em.. thought I'd use it for padding & margins too.. I guess IE doesn't like it....

I guess I need to go back to percentages for setting padding & margins for IE? (it looks like it works for font-sizes, though...)

(but it looks like modernizr is working for all HTML5 stuff.....;-)

thank you....

PS: it looks like rem works in IE 7/8 for font-sizes, but not for padding and margins....

I have to redo all padding & margins, what a pain...

so what is best, percentages or em?

oh brother.....

have my rd site ready, but can't publish b/c of IE 7/8 probs....;-(
