Hi, I've just put a new site live (http://www.archistry.com) which is the real version of the layout issue that Gunlaug helped me with before. It works as I expect on Linux in Firefox and Konqueror (although with some slight color differences between the logo image background and the branding background), but I'm having some issues getting it to work correctly with IE 6 (SP1 under CrossOver office 4.2/wine 20040716 and Windows XP SP2) and Opera 9.
I'm guessing the menu behavior is due to the double-margin IE bug, but I'm not sure of the best way to fix it. Will putting another div around the navigation really help? Also, I had to hack IE to get the display inside the window. Without the hack at the bottom of /v1/style/layout.css, it pushed the sidebars off the screen for the index page, but not for the 'what you can expect' page. I'm guessing this is due to the extra div I have around the 'latest news' sidebar to give it enough space between the text. I'm open to ideas on how to do this better. IE also does some weird things with overlapping the content and the navigation if you resize the window, but it will fix itself if you hover over any of the navigation links. Is there a fix for this? The last IE problem is the print layout is totally screwed up. I don't have a clue how to get it fixed. The press release prints as I expect, but I'm guessing the rest of the pages are having problems due to the table layout (I know... it's on the list to fix properly, but for another day). Opera 9 is another story completely. It was also doing better until I added the sidebars. Now, the content area overlaps the navigation area for me (984x768 - 1024x768 with 40 pixel dock on RHS). No idea why. Opera also includes both logos in the print layout of the press release for some reason. It also has some problems with the print layout of the rest of the pages. The logo doesn't show up, so I suspect this causes the first column to be too small. I'm also not sure why, but sometime after I started using the floats for the sidebars, the menu behavior stopped working on Netscape 7.1. The overlap to the content doesn't show up anymore. Not that big of a deal because this isn't one of my targets, but it was working before. Finally, if anyone with a Mac can tell me how it looks, I'd appreciate it. I don't have one of those, but I would expect the KHTML-based browsers to do the right thing (that's why I'm testing with Konqueror). Any other feedback/suggestions would also be appreciated. Many thanks to the list for helping me get this far with it. Cheers, ast -- Andrew S.
