CSS and Internet Explorer Problem

Post by jaccrock »

Hi,

I've been working on a website using a css template I got from dreamweaver. I've been using Firefox to debug and as I'm wrapping up the project, I viewed it in Internet Explorer (IE 6 I believe) and the formating for my center content is off, it appears at the bottom of the page instead of the top like it should

Will you please take a look at let me know how I can fix this for IE? I'm sure this is a common problem, but I couldn't find it searching.

I really appreciate the help!

not too sure as the links dead and i'd really need to see the page to test, but this springs to mind:

Code: Select all

#pageNav{ 
   float: left; 
   width:178px; 
   padding: 0px; 
   background-color: #F5f7f7; 
   border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; 
   border-bottom: 1px solid #cccccc; 
   font: small Verdana,sans-serif; 
} 

#content{ 
   padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px; 
   margin:0px 0px 0px 178px; 
   border-left: 1px solid #ccd2d2; 
}
pagenav, border-right:1px + width of 178 = 179, therefore content margin would need to be 179 also..

you need a min-width on the whole page somewhere to prevent that happening, 3 options:

1: css min-width property on a container div, doesn't always work in all browsers in my experience
2: a javascript solution if sceen width < 800 { container.div.style.width = 800 ) but done properly
3: a div or blank img in there 800px wide to stop the page getting too small and the floats messing up

hope that helps
