I have these brackets I'm trying to apply to my site, but I'm running into some issues when viewing it in I.E.

I'm sure it's something simple, but the teams and scores smush to the right, and the finals part of the bracket floats too far to the right as well. It's such a cool script, but I can't use it if it doesn't work in IE. The website I found it on does NOT have these issues, but I think I've emulated the code exactly.

If anyone can help, that would be awesome. The original site is mentioned in the script.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5739741/OMAR/code/jquery-1.7.1.js"></script>

I tried your code using IE9 and Chrome 24 and it appears to work and display the same in both browsers.

What versions of IE have you tried?

Capture5

I use a chrome extension for IE. It's the worst thing ever, so I use it as my baseline for everything so that my stuff is viewable to absolutely everyone. Do you think that's a good strategy, or should I just stick to checking IE's capability based on its most updated incarnations?

PS. Again, the IE extension showed everything perfect with the original guy's site.

You can also use some free online sites to see how different browsers handle your site.

Adobe labs, also browsershots.org.

Thank you for those links.
