To the CSS-D list, I am new to this discussion list and this is my first post, so please forgive me if I am asking a previously answered question, or not being clear enough. I searched through the archives but was not able to find a subject that matched my problem.
I'm having some issues with a technique to layout a 2-column page using floats and IE6. The floats/columns themselves work fine, but i have a repeating element in the main column that I want to break out and cross over into the column next to it. I have it working in all the browsers i've tested, but not in IE6 (nor in DreamWeaver, where I am doing most of my development). I've validated both the CSS and the XHTML at the w3c site, and Dreamweaver has found no Browser check errors...even fro IE6. I've made a minimal test copy and posted it where you might review it if you like. It's at http://coachingmosaic.com/debug/ The page layout is built with a FLOAT: Right for the main content, and a FLOAT: Left for the navigation column to the left. There is a .clearer DIV just above the footer to CLEAR both floats. As the copy on this page moves below the simple navigation content and contact info, I wanted to have some callout quotes with a graphic bachkground that would break out of the content column and cross over the left FLOAT to span the whole page and break up the empty column. To accomplish this, I applied a class with a negative margin (-215px) to the paragrapgh that i want to break out. As noted, this works in all the browsers I tested on both Mac and PC platforms, EXCEPT for IE6. In IE6 the callout is cutoff at the left side of the content FLOAT. It's not pushed aside or wrapped or anything... The beginnning of the line (and background) just appears to be hidden from view in the left column. in a separate issue, I'm also having a problem with the margin at the top of the left FLOAT. The first line of the LINKS list is hidden from view in IE6, but shows up correctly in all other browsers (that I've tested). Much appreciation for any help that you might offer.
