If you are on IE on the PC and go to
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Hireme.php you will see what I mean.

The dark blue area to the right of 'hire me' has extra padding or
something wich make it extend on the right beyond the header and top
navigation.


At the risk of sounding like a broken record, add

div { border: 1px solid #f00 ; }

to your css file and view the results. You'll see that your 
div#breadcrumbs is the culprit - width+padding exceeds the width of the 
containing div, and pushes out to the right. IE6 is rendering this such 
that the div#main_content is stretching with it.


The fix? Not sure; I've only time to locate the problem. Try adding 
padding-left to Breadcrumbs > Home link instead of to the enclosing 
div; or reduce the width of div#breadcrumbs.

[WSG] trouble with extra width in IE PC

2005-06-28 Thread Bruce Gilbert
Hello,

I am having a devil of a time trying to fix a problem with page not
aligning correctly width wise in IE on the PC.

If you are on IE on the PC and go to
http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Hireme.php you will see what I mean.

The dark blue area to the right of 'hire me' has extra padding or
something wich make it extend on the right beyond the header and top
navigation.

If someone could take a look at the CSS and let me know of any
solutions, I would be appreciative.

CSS is http://www.inspired-evolution.com/Gilbert.css.

Dear List Members,

I apologise for bringing up an OT theme. It was not intentional, simply

Re: [WSG] page layout problems in IE

2005-06-28 Thread Kara Spellman

Thanks Graham,

I had it linked to another style sheet that is the same as bg3.css  
but forgot to upload properly. Now that both my .htm and.css files  
are properly uploaded I ask the same question again about the display  
problems in IE (Mac).

Thanks for the link Prabhath.

I learned a few things from this tutorial http://www.brainjar.com/css/
positioning I found via Positioniseverything.net. I'm still stuck with
IE (Mac) problems though. Could someone at tell me if the display
problems in IE are a result of an IE bug or my CSS? Again, my site  
looks

perfect on the latest versions of Mozilla and Safari for the Mac.

Thanks!

Welcome to CSS, and IE frustration :)

Check out PIE [1] for IE bugs and how to fix [2] them - it's a great
resource that you will find very useful as you try to make your
designs IE proof.

Hi,

I'm new to CSS and this list so bare with me please.

My test layout works great in Safari 2.0 and Mozilla 1.7 both for the
Mac. However, in IE 5.2.3 (Mac) the layout looks very disjointed.  
My PC

is currently being repaired but the last time I checked It looked
disjointed in IE 6.0.2 but ok in both Mozilla 1.7.2 and Firefox 0.9.3.

Again, I'm very new to using CSS for page layouts this is my first  
one.
I'm looking for suggestions on how to correct the display problem  
and/or
tutorials on how to correct this issue. Originally, I went through  
this

tutorial http://www.westciv.com/style_master/
academy/hands_on_tutorial/index.html and then built my test layout.

Thanks,

Kara

RE: [WSG] Disapearing divs in IE v5.0 only | Browser testing

2005-06-28 Thread Mike Foskett
Hi all,

Sorry for the late response just returned from Glastonbury.

> I use also multiple versions in my XP SP2 and I also confirm Patrick results.

Retested and it doesn't work. On closer inspection IE v5.0 isn't actually 
running, it's v6.0.
I think IT services have updated the OS on my PC and has somehow affected 
"multiple IE" settings.
It no longer works even when running IEXPLORE.EXE directly.

Think the best thing to do from here is to run a second OS with Virtual PC then 
have multi-IE on that.

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I'll do some testing on the disappearing div's over the weekend and try to get 
that right too.
