Thanks Guys! http://e7flux.com/new/new.html
Adding a complete URI helped fixed the broken layout. I'm encountering a couple of other problems however: The logo "NJ.com" in the upper left in the #topnav div is not showing up in Windows FF. It is a link and I also need it to swap out on hover with its background highlighted counterpart (this effect is not working in any browser). Not sure I set the CSS right but that's the effect I'm aiming for. Any suggestions? The "BOTTOMRIGHT" div is using a 78% white tiling png in the background, which of course shows opaque in IE6. I attempted to use the opacity property on the #container div with the color property set to white but it didn't work. Any suggestions here? Another thing I wouldn't mind some insight on, is why the divs contained in the #container div didn't seem to be affected at all by the top and bottom padding set on the container? The floated divs seem to be laying on top of the container as opposed to within - I expected the container height to adjust according to the amount of padding plus the height of the floated divs but that's not what happened. Just trying to understand the behavior that's going on here. Any insights would be more than welcomed :). Again TIA!!!
