First I made a somewhat smaller page for easier scrolling - with all types of classes and id's in it. Then (after the validating fixes) I applied the container construction I mentioned before, and put an IE Italic Bug fix in it. Working perfectly! But! Then I pasted your whole html back in the page ... and IE gap right side of the header again! :-( See testpage all-in-one <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-keynote2004-combipage.html>. I tried to isolate different parts of the page, but couldn't get a finger on it. It seemed sometimes the bug was triggered in line x, and then in line y: unpredictable, and no relation to a particular class or id... Commenting out from bottom upwards, I came to a line where it was going wrong: with a class "publisher", but that is a class that was used before also, and did not trigger the IE gap. Readed the all PIE-pages about IE-bugs again, tried everything (relative positioning, holly hack, others)...: in vain!
Conclusion (the only thing I could imagine): it must be just the amount of code in the rather long page. So I splitted your page in two halfs: Testpage-part1 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-keynote2004-page1.html> and Testpage-part2 <http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-keynote2004-page2.html> O wonder: problem disappeared. :-) I didn't know, for me it seems to be a new Mystery Bug: the "IE Long Page Bug". -- Anyone seen (a description of) this before? >Someone asked why I used the definition list.
