blank space above content

Post by lleighh »

Ok, I know this issue has been raised before but that fix didn't work for me.  So here's one of the pages my client has trouble with ... http://newdaypublishing.net/dev/index.php?page=positive-parenting (she sees a lot of white space before she's able to read the article. I see it fine, btw).

Here's my template:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>

<!-- Type the title of your site here -->
<title>New Day Publishing - {title}</title>

{metadata}
{stylesheet}

{cms_selflink dir="start" rellink=1}
{cms_selflink dir="prev" rellink=1}
{cms_selflink dir="next" rellink=1}

{literal}
<__script__ type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
//pass min and max -measured against window width
function P7_MinMaxW(a,b){
	var nw="auto",w=document.documentElement.clientWidth;
	if(w>=b){nw=b+"px";}if(w<=a){nw=a+"px";}return nw;
}
//-->
</__script>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style type="text/css">
#pagewrapper {width:expression(P7_MinMaxW(720,950));}
#container {height: 1%;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
{/literal}

Re: blank space above content

Post by chead »

Looks like the box model problem.

Firefox and IE calculate margins and padding differently, and this shows up most commonly when you use both horizontal padding and margins on elements, as on your #content div. IE thinks it doesn't have enough space, so it puts the content below your right-hand sidebar.

Try explicitly setting the width in px on your #content div; that might be all you need to do.
