Not necessary if the IE team decide to fix not just the bugs exploited 
in hacks, but the fundamental css bugs that cause authors to use hacks 
in the first place...

G'day Barrie,

I think what you need here is called the Holly Hack.  It fixes ul, li
problems that IE mucks up.  CSS for my sites where I use uls include:-

/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/
* html #navbar ul li { float: left; }
* html #navbar ul li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */

Reference: http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?page=2cid=C37E0

Regards,

Ric

Subject: [WSG] Hi all, need some help with a peekaboo bug in IE

I am making a site for IE6+ and am really stuck over an IE bug.

http://joomlashack.compassdesigns.net/js_jshack06v2/index1.html

Some strange bug is occurring in IE6, the left column bounces all over. 
It seems to be related to the peekaboo bug and you can see it when you 
mouse over the links to the left column in the main menu. Refresh the 
page in IE so see the bug again.

Also, if you click on the blog link
http://joomlashack.compassdesigns.net/js_jshack06v2/index1.html
you get a two column layout. For some reason the left column decides it 
wants to be in a different place.

The solutions I know of involve position:relative and height:1% and 
line-height:1.2. I have tried all three of these but not had anything work.

Apologies in advance for not making a page that isolated the bug better.
This is CMS output and I found this bug late in the production cycle...

Cheers
Barrie North

Hi, I have just started to look at the Joomla CMS. The template I am using
doesn't do that.
I am using IE6. In the Joomla administrator page on the tool bar click on
site, then template manager, then site template
Choose which template and choose edit ccs. This is what the template I am
using has 

#left{/* menu */
background:#DCEAF7;
border:1px solid #859EB2;
left:10px;
position:absolute;
top:85px;
width:167px;

Not sure how you like Joomla The jury is still out with me.

G'day Barrie,

I think what you need here is called the Holly Hack.  It fixes ul, li 
problems that IE mucks up.  CSS for my sites where I use uls include:-


/* Fix IE. Hide from IE Mac \*/
* html #navbar ul li { float: left; }
* html #navbar ul li a { height: 1%; }
/* End */
