Site is good in IE7 and Firefox but not in IE6! Please take a look!!!

Post by renno »

Hi,
  The site looks as the stylesheets in IE7 and Firefox however, the content section of the site displays below its desired position in IE 6. Maybe because some objects or divs are outside pagewrapper but I don’t know how to fix? Have checked margins and set widths to 760px but can't get the content to budge. Has anyone any ideas? Sorry if this question has been asked before.

Many thanks,

content area is too wide i think...

try reducing the width by about 200 px.  Just to see how it is affected...?

I've had similar problem in the past... that's how i fixed it..

Hi thanks for the tip but it didn’t do the trick, is it because something in the content area is sticking out too far and forcing the text to appear below the nav? Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Ii'm not too sure what the problem is but
I am convinced it's to do with floats and widths
of both the navigation and main area.

I noticed the stylesheet had all floats
commented out.  I also noticed an inline
float for the main area had been added
in the html.

I don't know where to begin.
All this code is new to me and i don't
even really know what the content, main,
and page wrapper do.  Content seems
redundant to me.  But i'm guessing it's
because i don't know the structure yet.

Anyway, Try adding float left to the left
navigation menu.  Remove the float right
from the main area and make it float left.
Now adjust your left margin as needed.

Make a backup of the stylesheet before
doing this.  I'm not sure if I am asking you
to destroy your stylesheet.. :p

Gotta go.. late to pick up my mom.. :p
