[css-d] Strange line appearing in IE6

2005-10-30 Thread Paul Pollock
All:

I have a line (a graphic) that appears in IE6.0, at a site I'm  
developing at:

http://dsctest.com/test2/index.php

The CSS file is at:

http://dsctest.com/test2/style.css

There is a background image (http://dsctest.com/test2/images/ 
menu_bckgnd-1.gif) which seems to be "leaking" below the menus. I've  
tried whatever I can think of, such as changing the background image  
size and {background-repeat: repeat-y} to no avail. It all looks OK  
in Safari 2.0.

Is this an example of the infamous box problem? Should I be defining  
the height better?

I suspect this is a newbie question, so please don't beat me up too  
much if that's so as this is only my second CSS project.




Regards,

At the moment there is a hr misplaced in IE/Win. For a.p. elements, IE 
needs a left: value; at least, otherwise it will start from the last 
right edge of the preceding element, or worse.

Anyway, that's not the way to go. You have positioned nearly all 
elements. What if there would be real users out there who are able to 
press [Ctrl +[num]) in Firefox to increase the text zoom?

I'd like to suggest you to take a documented 3-column layout of our wiki 
page, i.e. Thierry's http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/3cols.asp
