Hi Jean-Marc and everyone there, I have just redone my new skin, based on
Jean-Marc's suggestion to use Monobook as a base, but it still breaks in IE.
I am using MediaWiki Version 1.14.
The new skin is now adopted at
ge>.
I have displayed both the following files for the new skin in the website:
* Nuskin.php <http://webmasterteachyourself.com/MediaWiki:Nuskin.php>
* main.css
<http://webmasterteachyourself.com/MediaWiki:Nuskin_main.css>All other files
are unchanged.
I suspect it is the use of em instead of px but I am not so sure. The skin
looks good to me in Firefox 1024 x 768 but sure looks ugly... very very ugly
with 800 x 600. Any workaround for that?
(P/S: Jean-Marc, can I have a look at your website?)

Hi Jean-Marc, thank you for your response. I am using
clean_and_blue
because it is the closest thing that comes to my concept for a new
skin. Apparently, the designer is having some problems with IE too, so
it was a bad choice, given my computer knowledge.
Anyway, let me work out a few more details within the next two or
three days so that I can get it displayed. Then, I will contact you
for further assistance.
Regards and thank you for your helpfulness.

Hi, I am trying to design a new skin and although
it looks good on
Firefox, it looks broken in IE. I am no programmer and to be able to
design a new skin that works in Firefox is admittedly an achievement
by my own lousy standards.
Instead taking care of IE fixes with its many many versions and other
browsers as well, I am thinking of using my skin only for Firefox
browers and monobook for the rest. How do I tweak this code in
LocalSettings.php:
$wgDefaultSkin = 'newskin';
I guess it's something like: if Firebox browser, use 'newskin', else
use 'monobook'.
There should be some middleground to have a skin that looks proper in
both IE and FF. I know FF has more conformant support for CSS, but IE
isn't that bad.
Did you base your skin on monobook? There are provisions in that skin
to deal with various IE peculiarities. I have created a new skin based
on monobook (1.13, don't know if 1.14 or 1.15 have radically changed
the way monobook is skinned) that works OK on both FF and IE.
What are your requirements for the skin, and where does it break in IE?
