[WSG] IE5 mac background and float problem (and site check if you have time!)

[James Gollan]

Hi Guys, 

 

I am having a little problem with at the following site:

 

www.organicexpo.com.au/visitors/index.php

 

Relevant style sheet:

www.organicexpo.com.au/assets/layout.css

 

 

IE mac doesn’t show the
background color on the main content div. The layout is a fairly simple 3
column layout using floated divs and left and right margins
on the main element. There is a clearer div on the main element but IE5 doesn’t
seem to respect it, collapsing the background completely.

 

This error is repeated on other pages within the site that
are using a similar 2 column layout. If anyone has any ideas (I have been
reading about some IE5 mac float issues, but most
seem to suggest a hidden style sheet fix – would prefer to avoid that (I’ve
already had to hack the nav style sheet.

 

And if you have time to look over the site for any other
problems that would be good (holds breath).

There is a page that is not validating (registration form) due
to some php inserted hidden fields, but the rest
should be ok validation-wise 

 

Any help much appreciated.
