Hi Ned
I'm at work, so am being forced to use IE5.5 (entirely against my will, I
assure you). The content is dropping below the menu. Afraid I can't offer a
solution at the moment as my pc/ie won't let me view the css (yes, I love my
Win95 pc...) - I imagine it's something to do with widths and ie not being able
to add. I can send you a screenshot if that helps - let me know and I'll send
it offlist.
Best wishes
Emily (who should be working, not checking her emails)
Quoting Ned Lukies [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I have been developing a catalogue/shopping cart site for a client and have
come across the following problem in IE. For some reason, every now and then,
a rectangular patch of the background shows though. A screen capture of this
is available at:
http://www.madforit.com.au/brothers/ie.jpg (please excuse the quality of the
image)
The offending page can be found at:
http://brothers2.madforit.com.au/index.php/user/product/beer/local_beer/
Note the dark blue box below the heading SPECIAL - Gold Stubbies.
I have been taring my hair out for hours trying to figure this one out.
Sometimes its there, others it isn't. Sometimes you have to add something
into the shopping cart before it will play up. I haven't been able to
replicate the problem in any other browser.
Also while I am here, has anyone noticed that if you create a PNG file with a
solid colour in it, it will never match up to the to a background colour in
Safari. Is there any way to make sure they do or is PNG support in Safari
broken? An example screenshot:

Thanks in advance.
For those who want to know this is my first real site in XHTML + CSS. I have
wanted to do it before, but I have never had a designer who would actually
let me write the HTML code until now.
At the backend I have used (slightly off topic i know)
PHP4
HTML_QuickForm (Object Oriented form builder)
DB_DataObject (Object Oriented interface to MySQL)
Smarty template engine
Hopefully in the end, I will have a standards compliant web site, that neatly
has all the back end code separated from the HTML. It should be a dream to
maintain if I manage to achieve this.
Regards,
Ned
