| 437669 | 2006-03-12 22:15:00 | I design my website in Opera and Firefox, it also looks OK in Frontpage, and IE7 . However when I view it on IE6 that a friend has on her laptop part of the CSS seems screwy . Its driving me nuts . The link to the site is in my sig below, this is not an advertisement for it but a request for help to find why it looks wacked . Please just see it as an academic exercise not a form of subversive advertising . For example, all the green navigation top left, looks great to me, in all my browsers, but in IE 6 seems to be missing the 4 X 2 tidy structure, looking bunched and ragged . You can see what I mean in the alexa screenshot . alexa . com/data/details/?url=stuffucanuse . com," target="_blank">www . alexa . com that should be a nice tidy table (all made in CSS) Obviously there is something in css that IE6 is not seeing . but it needs a fresh set of eyes to work out what it is . On the messagebaord is a similar case, the small red text is meant to run across the page, and the "who's online" should run across the page as well . Is there some place where IE errors are listed to easily fix this? Thanks |

| 437670 | 2006-03-12 22:38:00 | This is what I see (www.imagef1.net.nz) IE not being as perfectly laid out as FF. IE is a flippen nightmare to code for good luck, try a <br>. Run the page through the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/). |

| 437671 | 2006-03-12 22:53:00 | Thanks Rob, looks OK in your screenshot.... I think I got it, well part of it anyway.... (maybe) A "normal" CSS box has 3 attributes. width + padding + borders So you may have a box that is 100px width, + a padding of 5px + borders of 2px. This means the total box width is 2 + 5 + 100 +5 + 2 = 114px But in IE the width is a TOTAL of 100px. which includes the padding and borders. I got the idea from here (www.sitepoint.com) sigh... the solution looks complex.... |
