Greetings all, I'm having trouble getting IE 6 to read my background correctly and I don't understand why. The effect that I'm after is to set the html background to black and the body to white and make it width:99% of the html background. Firefox understands it perfectly but IE6 wants to expand it to 100%. Why? Isn't the body element a descendent of the html root element or have I got it wrong?
I've color coded and changed the width to 79% so that it's easier to see. The URL is here: http://www.byronsbyte.com/bernard/ and the css is here: http://www.byronsbyte.com/bernard/css/testIE6.css . Thanks in advance for all of your help! - Mary Here's a birds-eye view of the rules in question. Definitions: html { background:#000; font-size:100%; } body { width:79%; margin:1px auto; padding:0; text-align:center; } Mary Villanueva [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.byronsbyte.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
