Hi Ben,
HA! I'm starting with the good laugh I got at the end of my story, to
keep you optimistic.
I was trying to find the culprit yesterday, and got it almost, but could
not finish in a mail because a lack of time. To do it the simple way, I
was taking the html-code for experimenting, while linking to your css-sheet.
In the meantime, I see, you have changed the original css: so going on
with the new one.
But 1 min. ago I saw the css had changed again ... ho, and now again ...
you are working on it! :-)
The last stylesheet does not show the bottom corners anymore. I'm happy
I didn't empty my cache, so I can reconstruct.
Here we go.
Wondering what combination of things could cause the "duplicate
characters bug" and double the bottoms of the rounded boxes, I started
commenting out.
No, not the #topnavigationbar.
No, not the #searchboxarea.
No, not the #tabcontainer.
No, not the whole #leftnavcolumn.
Okay, then the #maincontentarea.
No, not ...
No, no, no ...
And no #maincontentarea to see, just the #rightcolumnarea.
No, don't need 3 boxes, 1 is sufficient.
No, the middle parts can be missed.
Hé, the top roundings seem duplicating as well...
No, I need just one working double thing.
So, in the end of the story I had just one small, still doubled
'blue_right_col_btm.gif' on a white page.
And there was the bigrinn!
The doubling in IE is *not *a double rendering, but just showing the
background-img as repeating!
Reason is that in an empty div, IE is thinking it is a normal line, with
the default line-height, default font-size and so on.
* I described that in the article Liquid Round Corners - step 1
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/liquidcorners/liquidcorners.htm#step1>.
I solved it with using a small font-size; but if you have the good
distances when positioning the 3 colored boxes, then you can also add a
*no-repeat* to the background-image.
Hoping you don't have changed the main.css while I'm writing this ;-) ,
here is the:
* testpage

Cheers,
francky
