I actually meant to use conditional comments to serve IE5.5 different
rules from everything else. So put back whatever you had for the page to
start with and then add something like this below all your other styles:
<!--[if lt IE 6]>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
div#wrapper {
position: relative;
float: none;
width: auto;
}
#news_left {
margin-right: 220px;
}
#news_left p {
margin-left: 160px;
}
#news_right {
position: absolute;
right: 0;
top: 70px;
width: 220px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 0 5px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

Hi John
Setting the news_right position to absolute hides the right column in IE
5.5 altogether and stuffs up the layout in other browsers. Setting the
right margin on news_left didn't do much either :(
This is what it now looks like:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In regards to the stylesheets list, I'm currently in the process of
cleaning it up ;)
Cheers

Subject: Re: [WSG] display problem with IE 5.5
That has to be the biggest list of stylesheets I've ever seen attached
to
one page! Is there really a need to have that many?
As far as the problem goes, for IE5.5 you might have to give #news_left
a
margin-right and then use position: absolute on #news_right.

Hi all
I've got a three column layout (navigation + main content + right
column). The navigation and the right column are fixed and the main
content (middle) is liquid. It all looks fine in firefox, IE 6 and
most
all other browsers except for IE 5.5. And I really need to get it to
display properly in IE5.5 :-(
How do I fix the display problem in IE 5.5?
Here is the page:
http://pre2005.flexiblelearning.net.au/temporary.html
And this is what it looks like in ie 5.5:
