Hallo,

I am trying to optimize a web page that looks finde in Firefox and IE 7. 

There are some problems left in IE 6.

Please take a look at:

http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/Maschinentechniker/METS2/style.css


There is a left area with a toolbar and a tree, then a "slider" and then the
main content area. The sliders behaviour is implemented in JavaScript, and
an onresize event adjusts the size of the treeview and of the image on the
right (please don't try to click on the image, as it is linked with a bigger
image on our local servers, which you don't have access to).

Part of the CSS styles are defined within the html document because
otherwise my JavaScript wouldn't have access to those values.

Anyway the slider does not appear in IE 6. Position and size are defined in
the html document:
"position: absolute; left: 200px; top: 0; width: 8px; bottom: 0;"

IE 6 doesn't seem to understand this. If I declare the height of this DIV
instead of the bottom, as I did it here:
http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/Maschinentechniker/METS2a/index.htm
the slider appears. But I want the bottom of the DIV to stick at the bottom
of the page.

I could let the slider be resized by the JavaScript (that doesn't work
either in IE 6 right now), but why not let the CSS da the work?

With a bottom value given, the browser seems to calculate the minimum size
of the DIV to zero. The content of the DIV is "<!-- -->". If I change it to
"a", the DIV is rendered, and it's size is just big enough to contain the
character "a".

Could anybody tell me what I am doing wrong there?
