CMS Made Simple Forums

Hiya,

First post for me!

I've been playing around with a new install of CMS 1.0.4 which I'm setting up as a demo to show my employer why they need to use a CMS instead of their currently ugly vanilla website.

I wanted to place some News elements below the CSS menu that sits on the left (I'm using CSSMenu left + 1 column template) and managed to insert {news} in the 'sidebar' DIV in the template file.

In Firefox everything renders fine however under IE6 I cannot get it to stop affecting the rest of the page with a large chunk of whitespace.

The pic I have attached shows a page that is affected, basically the lower block of text on the main (content) page has been inserted using {global_content ....} to allow it to be somewhat dynamic but as you can see under IE6 this doesn't play nice.

Anyone got any tips?

Sorry I'm not huge on CSS but I did try inserting another DIV within the 'sidebar' DIV however no difference.

It sounds like either the total number of pixels for the width of your sidebar and main divs, along with their margins, exceeds 100% of the page width (in IE), or you don't have height: 1%; in your main div.

It would be easier to diagnose if we had a link to visit or the code to examine.

Whoa that was quick, and what's even better was the 'height: 1%;' thing solved that problem, plus it solved the "3 pixel walk" thing I had going on but had conveniently ignored!!

Awesome, thank-you so much!! 

You're welcome.

Happy CMSMSing!
