You need to add height: 1%; to the sixvillageslogo div and IE6 will be
happy.

The numbers don't add up.


#whatsnew_box {
width: 266px;
margin-left: 20px;
}

...is too wide for...

#secondary_column {
width: 280px;
}

...which causes overflow in most browsers, but 'auto-expansion' in IE6.
The result is that the entire 'secondary_column' drops in IE6.

Change the margin to...

#whatsnew_box {
width: 266px;
margin-left: 14px;
}

and you'll get a pretty good line-up in all browsers, with 2px to spare
for those side-borders.

Ok :-) but if that's the criteria, then none of use can use the
working-title of 'web developer' ;-)

IE needs its 'hasLayout'[1] trigger.

Adding...
.content {width: 100%;}
...will do just fine in that layout.

Additional comments:

You don't have a 'body background', and those rounded areas are
designed to go with a white 'body background'. My 'body background
default' is gray ATM, so it doesn't look too good.

Adding...
body {background: #fff;}
...will make the result more reliable.

---

You have triggered the 'em font-resizing bug' in IE.


Adding...
html {font-size: 100%;}
...will fix that - and also keep your hidden nav-text from becoming visible.

---

Line-up of nav tabs doesn't look good in my Opera 9/win2K. You better
have a look at that.

Georg

Steve,

I can see what you're talking about in Windows XP Pro IE6, when the page
loads. I can go back and forth between pages and the problem doesn't present
itself again until I mouse over the menu items. I haven't looked at the CSS
but you may want to check for any kind of anomalies. I also noticed that in
you menu list, you have some empty  on each item, is that
intentional?

I am not able to reproduce the the problem you describe in xp(comparing 
ie/6.0 to opera /9.0).  They look identical to me. There is one 
exception. In opera I default to fuchsia for background-color.  I get 
fuchsia as the background-color on all of your pages in opera.

Two people in a client of 20 people are having trouble with this page:

Tanya

I'm not sure I can identify the problem either, but here are some 
observations:
It may be the two users do not have their default font-setting at 
'medium'-- if it is set at 'larger,' or 'largest' the problem occurs.
The users in question may have their security setting "High," disabling 
your js font-size thing. If they re-size the fonts using the toolbar, 
the right column drops due to the font bug(below), and width problems.
You have the font-size set on the body in em, triggering a font-resizing 
bug in IE-- change it to percent.
You have the width of the outer-most container set at 800; consequently, 
regardless of the browser, users are getting a scroll bar at 800. Try 
bringing down to 780 or a little less-- you may need to hack the widths 
for IE, as well.
aside: The menu you are using does not function well if any font-zoom is 
used-- and will continue to be a problem in IE, as well, even after 
resolving the font bug..

David Laakso

Tanja, I can remember we had two threads with a similar problem: 
left-floated navigation with images, and following main content 
dropped below  - depending on the direction of the wind.


(
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/57494
http://archivist.incutio.com/viewlist/css-discuss/59324
)

If that is the problem you are speaking of, than these two persons 
have probably a slow connection? Is it only on first load and vanishes 
on reload, or is it a permanent problem?


In these threads, a suggestion was to trim the "alt"-text of the images.
Depending on the text zoom settings,
"Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers" may be too long to fit 
in one line, and IE will expand the space when the image properties 
are not fully loaded for some reasons.


So I would like to ask you too:
Copy the page as is, and just change the alt text of all images to the 
left to "". Ask the two persons to clear their cache (tell them 
exactly how to) and restart IE, before they switch from one page to 
another. Does it make a difference?


Ingo

Jack offered a good answer. It makes sense *IF* you know that IE 5.x 
calculates box sizes differently than IE 6.  The 5.5 calculation is 
known as the broken box model.  A good explanation at Tantek's site 
below.  Since Tantek offered his hack, better ones have evolved and Jack 
showed you what is known as the Simplified Box Model Hack (SMBH).
