For some reason, I can't scroll down to the bottom of the page -- it
just kind of jumps around when attempting to do so. I have a
feeling it might be related to the javascript for the font
enlargement, but not really sure.
The 'js/equalcolumns.js' is bugging IE/win ... it can't get past its
artificial bottom, and the footer is below.
Kill the script and IE/win will do fine, or check out the conditions
the script is supposed to work under and adjust your layout to it.
What do you need that script for? No visual columns to take care of on
that page, but you may have other reasons.
IE/win already has a 'hasLayout' trigger that keeps the center-column in
check width-wise, and other browsers will do fine with a suitable 'block
formatting'[1] trigger.
#outerWrapper #contentWrapper #content {
display: table-cell;
}
...seems to work fine, but have only checked it in Opera and Firefox on
windows.
You can of course also give that element the correct margin...
#outerWrapper #contentWrapper #content {
margin: 0 200px 0 230px;
}
...in which case neither 'hasLayout', 'block formatting' or
'equalcolumns script' seems to be necessary in any browser.
You just have to remember that IE6 doesn't respect any dimensions, and
at least kill its 'em font-resizing bug'[2] before anyone starts
resizing text in that browser.
The addition of
html {font-size: 100%;}
...will do.

I had that in there originally and then decided not to use the js because the columns were working fine w/o, but neglected to remove it from the pages.

HI David,
I got the jumping/no-scroll problem fixed by elminating a javascript call.
It was only an issue in IE 6 and IE 7.
thanks for the screenshot -- it looks like you've enlarged the font size (I
hope it's not defaulting to that!) I know that on the largest font increase
the text will sometimes hide behind the nav bar (as it appears to be doing
here). Not sure how to get around that!

I would change this:
#menu dt {
width: 11em;
To this:
#menu dt {
width: 140px;
That should force your top-level menu items to expand vertically by breaking
the lines rather than expanding the box horizontally.

Perhaps you had fixed it by the time I looked at it. thanks for the screenshot -- it looks like you've enlarged the font size (I hope it's not defaulting to that!) ... I'm sorry to say that it is the default medium size in IE on my machine. Many, if not most laptops that have screens with more than a thousand pixels height are set to 120 DPI. To compensate for the smaller text size that results, both IE and Opera increase em sizes by 25%. High-definition laptops seem to be the new black. ;) Cordially, David -- __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
