RE: [WSG] OT - but really need help
Hi Cole, I dunno if I can SOLVE it (and I see the problem in IE), but instead of conditional comments couldn't you use Tanta's box-model hack to serve the bottom negative margin to IE? http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html I know it's still a hack, but due to the discrepancies between gecko and IE box models it may be the only way?

Re: [WSG] OT - but really need help
Have you tried conditional comments??Place this in the head section of your code and change the div_name to whatever it should be.!--[if IE] style type=text/css
#div_name {bottom: -4px;} /style![endif]--More info:http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/ccomment_ovw.asp

RE: [WSG] OT - but really need help
Del
I have tried IE CC, and it does work for
my purposes. Thanks for weighing in. I was really wondering if I was doing
something wrong in the CSS to cause this, or if its just the nature of
the beast (IE) thats causing the problem.
So, so-far, IE CC is the way Ill go
unless someone can say: Hey Cole, this is what youre doing wrong
with your css. Do ***this*** and itll be fixed without the need to use
IE CC

Place this in the head section of your code and change the div_name to whatever
it should be.
!--[if IE]
style type=text/css
#div_name {bottom: -4px;}
/style
![endif]--

RE: [WSG] OT - but really need help
Thanks Paul. I'll take a look. I try to stay away from hacks as much as possible, but I'll give it a look. Thanks for the link.

Re: [WSG] OT - but really need help
why not solve it by adding a surrounding div#nav_footer and the #content_footer , I think it's your only option with ie? IE bites. Cole Kuryakin wrote: Thanks Paul. I'll take a look.

Do ***this*** and it'll be fixed without the need to use IE CC :-) I just did. Covering up for one of IE's many whitespace bugs is *not* necessary, when you can make the whitespace bug go away.
