Re: [css-d] Need help with IE position problem
To my query about this: No matter what I do, the large text box on the left shifts to the right just over half the width of the whole window...I've tried *http hacks, conditional comments, nothing seems to work. I've been back and forth with the BrowserCam quite a few times. It works fine in all browsers except IE Win.

Remove the positioning and see what you get, then work from there. Wayne, thanks. I've been struggling trying to learn CSS so long, and had never done any HTML in the past, that I couldn't let go of the CSS styling. Your answer solved the problem for me. Many thanks! And Dave, who answered my question about where in the page those comments are supposed to go, Thank you too!

It is legacy code coming from dear old Netscape 4. Well, if supporting dear old dead Netscape 4 is a requirement, then the original poster is stuck with tables for layout, because that's the only reliable way to get multi-column layouts in browsers that old ... I believe one of the characteristics of the Gecko engine that hindered its adoption is the fact that it does NOT support the old Netscape proprietary things in any mode. -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community __ 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/

They're supposed to be in the HTML, not the CSS. As I said, I cannot re-style the entire page...it must be done in the style of the rest of the site. That's too bad. I can't imagine any browser in the world is doing anything with these elements scattered in the code: spacer type=block width=916 height=37 but what would I know? I have Javascript turned off, so if there's some JS routine that's supposed to use them for something, I'm not seeing the results of it. -- David [EMAIL PROTECTED] authenticity, honesty, community __ 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/
Re: [css-d] Need help with IE position problem
Hi gurus, I've been stuck (again) doing a small addition to an old web site that was designed in an older version of GoLive, and is definitely not CSS based. The old version of GL always creates table-style pages. I am not getting paid to do anything but change an old page with a new text box with some links. No matter what I do, the large text box on the left shifts to the right just over half the width of the whole window...I've tried *http hacks, conditional comments, nothing seems to work. I've been back and forth with the BrowserCam quite a few times. It works fine in all browsers except IE Win. Hi David Just took a quick look at your source code and I suspect your problem is in the positioning, combined with the div nested in a table cell.
