There are a number of bugs in Internet Explorer 5 that are easily fixed once you know how to do so:
JazzMeet's CSS style links to pages on the wiki that have not been created yet, as follows:
Because Internet Explorer 5 does not render these nicely, we will need to remove these background images. We can create a new stylesheet, ie5fixes.css, in the skins/ directory of our MediaWiki installation, and link to it in the<head> of our MediaWiki skin as demonstrated above.
We can then add CSS to overwrite previous styling associated with the "new article" link styling:
a.new {
background: none;
padding: 0;
}
This removes the background image and the padding given for external links in the previous CSS for JazzMeet's skin:
Internet Explorer 5 and Internet Explorer 5.5 do not interpret the font-size you set as other browsers do. You can correct this by adding the following CSS to the ie5fixes.css file:
body {
font-size: xx-small
}
This simply tells Internet Explorer 5 to resize the text to a smaller size than other browsers, making the size of text appear consistent across the browsers.
