[css-d] Positioning navigation and IE 6 positioning.

2008-06-24 Thread Brandon Blatcher
Two questions:

1. I'm working on a website, which has a simple horizontal navigation
bar. When the browser window is resize, all the text in the bar bumps
down to multiple lines, messing up the layout. How can I prevent this?

2. On the same website, in IE6, when the browser window is resized, the
right column slips under the left column. How can I prevent that?

The site link is:http://www.politicalfilter.com/content/frontpage/, and
yes the HTML and CSS validiate. 

Thanks for any suggestions.

1. You will not be able to stop it from bumping down. Accommodation is 
your best bet: create a new orange background image that has no 
border-bottom and let it repeat to fill the space, vertically and 
horizontally,  regardless of the window width or user preference for 
font-scaling.

2.

One way:

IE/6 needs "play room."
#main
{ border:1px solid fuchsia/*test*/;
  margin: 0px 0 0 /*16px*/0 /*amened*/;
  width: /*78%*/76%/amend*/;
}
#rightcol
{
 float:left/*add*/; width: 20%/*add*/;
}

1. Measure the width of the menu bar that you always want to keep on
one line (I think it's app. 950 pixels) and make sure the contents are
contained in a div (or UL or whatever block-element) that's has a
specific width of (at least) 950 pixels.



2. Kinda like the same answer. Make sure both columns are wrapped
in a DIV with a certain specific width. Then when the browser is
resized, that DIV will just be invisible outside the browser window.



That would be quick fixes, I'd say.
