Sigh. I’ve stuffed around trying to get this blog looking right in all browers but IE is absolutely useless. It appears that IE can’t handle the long lines of code I’m posting these days. For some reason it doesn’t handle the overflowing ‘pre’ tags correctly.

For those who want to use a typo 1.0 theme with their typo edge. You can simply modify theme/the_theme/layouts/default.rhtml and replace the line below:


<%= render_component(:controller => ’sidebars/sidebar’, :action => ‘display_plugins’) %>

with this line…


<%= render_sidebars %>

If you don’t do this you will get an application error.

Anyway, for now I’m just going to stick with typo’s default theme. If you’re using IE you will notice the sidebar has been pushed to the bottom of the page.
