Killer Wordpress Template
Friday, May 13th, 2005 at 12:18 pm in My Life, WordpressOMG!!!!! i found the solution!!!!!!!!! This really is a very satisfying achievement for me hahahahaha.....
Yesterday i feel so down and frustrated because i encounter this problem when tweaking my new 3 column template, this is what happend yesterday:
I got so excited trying to find a Wordpress 3 column template which looks like boingboing.net because i like minimalist design and boingboing.net template really suits my taste. After searching for so long i come across this site http://www.eretzvaju.org/identification-bands and i found that their template is quite nice. So i downloaded it and activate the template. The template looks nice but still there is alot of tweaking need to be done. Things got worst when i try to adjust the content size and this is what happends:
this is how it appears in ie

and this is how it appears in mozilla firefox

Why it look so perfect in moz but look strange in ie?
And why issit when i load the ie page it shows the perfect layout for few seconds and then it will automatically shrink to smaller?
How to solve this problem?
I stay up whole night trying to find the source of the problem yet my effort is in vain! To make things worse is that i work 8 hours in front of my notebook and at night i went to my gf house to accompany her then when reach back home already 1am and i still have to find this shit problem. Im so gonna be a zombie!
This morning in office...when everything seems to be hopeless, i told myself not to give up and i keep searching for the solution...suddenly i saw this:
hiding in the header file which i didn't realize
then i go and find whats is this function and found out this:
if (myId) {
myId.style.width = "358px";
}
What the foot?!?! No wonder why everytime i set the content width as 450px but it will always shrink smaller!!!!!!!! The author go and set the width to 358px when the template runs in IE!!!! i really wanna kill this guy and burn his balls man!! lol
He made me cannot sleep the whole night trying every single shit just to find the solution! Gosh i really feel like a zombie now haha! But i like this kind of feeling when i found solutions! When it seems to be hopeless...and suddenly you solve it! it is really a sense of achievement and excitement....lol i always get that kind of feeling when doing programming....i just love it!
p/s: Hang in there guys, there are whole lot more setup need to be done so that it works exactly how it used to be like in the previous template. Thank you guys for your support and comments, hope you enjoy my blog.

Please don’t
I know how to get rid of that damn fucking JS (i have learned css since I made that theme).
Unfortunately I am also too damn lazzy to do it now.

Well i am sure am glad i happened on this site because i also notice that same crap on a couple of my headers that i downloaded the Themes for WP just recently.
If he is that ticked over IE thats fine but he is nothing more than a moron and an idiot to insert that crap especially with his limited intelligence and pawn that garabge on others.
Anyway thanks for posting this, i have to bacltrack now and fish that stupid stuff off my header.php now
