[css-d] Problems with 3col snd 2 col layout in IE 6
Hi, This is my first post . Problem is : Both 3 cols layout on the home page and the 2 cols layout on the other pages are not rendering correctly in IE 6. The second column is not lining up with the first column (i.e. 'News' should be level with 'The Picture House') in IE 6 and the third column is just a lot lower than it should be in IE 6. I have checked the code and CSS and both are OK except for 1 or 2 minor problems. The pages render fine in FireFox. I have been trying to fix this problem for a while but everything I try does not work . If a member could explain to me where I have gone wrong and how to fix this problem I would be most grateful. URL is: http://www.deadred.co.uk/Documents/index.php (this is a test site) Many thanks, David David Roberts __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

Hi, I think that you will see more of the real problem if you go to one of the other sections, info, history. The "showing" column goes right up the into the header. thanks David David wrote: Hmmm, the first piece of text in the left column is marked up as , the first text in the right column is an .

Hi, Thanks very much for that info Wayne. I have tried what you said below, and on all the Mac browsers I have it works fine. Will have to wait until the morning to look at it on a PC with IE6. I wanted to know why you need to reposition the c2div so that it follows the c3div? Also there was one other small problem that I have with the two logos on the home page near the bottom of the page. The Weather Logo and the Pay Pal logo align fine in the Mac browses that I have tried accept Omni Web and Safari where the Weather logo is lower. Any idea why this is? Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

[css-d] Navigation not showing in IE 6 and other problems
Hi all, The URL is: http://www.campbeltowngrammar.org.uk/cgs/index.php/ campbeltowngrammar/index/ I have just started building this site and would like to get the navigation working correctly before I go any further. There are a number of problems mostly with the navigation in IE6 - which is the only version I have looked at. 1 There are 3 different navigation sections in the header and in IE the two main ones are not showing up at all and the top links are 'dropping down' from there correct position. Works in Firefox. I have used 'float' and 'clear:both' in the CSS, but it has not helped. 2 In Safari the second nav bar is over to the left not the right were it should be. 3 I cannot get the second and third nav bar to align on the right had side so that 'Parents Resources' and 'School Board' are aligned. 4 In col 2 'Pupil Notice' and 'New Images' are not aligning in Firefox but are OK in safari.

[css-d] Nav bar help - Browser compatibility issues
Hi, I am having a few problems with the navigation that I have made and have been trying to fix the problem for a while now but no luck. There are 3 different navigation sections at the top. The first set are just text but for some reason in FF they don't work and in IE 6 they do. I think that it may have something to do with the search box but not sure what. The middle section is ok. The main navigation works ok but I cannot get it to position how I want it in Safari and IE. It drops below the blue background all the time. It is correct in FF.

[css-d] 2-column layout problems and anchor links
Hi I have a problem with a 2 column layout which is working on some pages in IE but not others. It is dropping down below the first column. They are both floated col, one left one right. Should I be using: display:inline (hack) ? I am not having this problem with any other columns set up that I am using. Problem columns: link http://www.campbeltowngrammar.org.uk/main/art_depart Also I am having a problem with anchor links in IE. The links themselves are working ok it is the (return) to Top anchor that does not work. This is the code that I am using.

[css-d] Nav bar position incorrect in IE
Hi I have been batting with this problem for some time and have been unable to fix it. The nav bar plus the whole 'top' section is lower in IE than FF and other browsers that I have checked on this site. The URL is http://www.campbeltowngrammar.org.uk/ The first links plus the search box are supposed to sit in the centre of the top blue pane. The crest, name of school and next 3 links are to sit in the centre of the main blue pane and there is then a small space and the main nav bar. I have checked the code and it is ok, the other browsers that I have checked it in are Camino, Firefox, Opera and Safari on a Mac all OK. It is only IE 6 on a PC that it is not working. I don't have access to v7.0.

[css-d] Nav bar position incorrect in IE
Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your help. I added margin/padding :0 to the "body" and it
has fixed the problem. I am quite new to CSS so I am learning as I go
along.
The stylesheet was a problem that I was having with my CMS seeing the
stylesheet but it is fixed now and I have removed one of the links.
Thanks again.
David

h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, ul, address {
margin:0;

}
... but what about 'body' and 'form'? They have defaults that are not
the same cross browser, too.
unrelated:
@import
"http://www.campbeltowngrammar.org.uk/?css=main/mainschool.css";;
Just curious what exactly is the reason for loading the css twice for
screen?
