Hi all - Once again, IE 6 and under has me stumped. On this page: http://www.southernenvironment.org/newsroom/philreed/winners.htm the photo and blurb that should be up there next to the center column content is getting pushed down, right past the bottom of the content column. The thing that ha

[css-d] Column won't budge and HTML validates

My Dear Gurus, On this page http://pierceartanddesign.com/NewFiles.html/pages/ aboutus.html I'm having trouble with (what else?) IE6. The column of text on the right is cut off about 1 or 2 characters on the left side. I've had this problem before, and I'm trying to fix a pre-made site, so

[css-d] Modal window techniques (lightbox, etc.) and sIFR 3

Hello List, Does anyone have a modal window technique working with sIFR 3? I'm currently trying to use Thickbox 2 and sIFR 3 beta1 and after I activate a thickbox window, my sIFR'd text disappears. I have not tried Lightbox 2 yet, and before I went tearing into my code, I thought I would ask if

Re: [css-d] hiding menu text

Hey Ross, I typically put a around the menu text and then position the span absolutely with negative margins to move them off the screen. This way if CSS is turned off, your menu names are still in place. Perhaps there are better ways to do this and would love to hear them! Cheers... ~j On

Jill - One of the great resources for list-based navigation is listamatic http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/ Take a look at the actual CSS behind the lists. I learned a lot from it. Please note that the HTML is pretty much the same for all navigation styles. Good luck. As far as th

I'm still in the very beginning stages as far as learning CSS. I have two questions. The first problem I am having is I want to add a text or list type navigation on the left of my pages (link below, test.html). I'm not sure how to position the list of links correctly. Right now you will notice

Am I missing something here? Many posters to this list (and I'm not implying that Zoe is one of them) seem to get rather upset when floats drop in narrow windows, and I simply don't get that. The fact that floats can drop when there's not enough room to do justice to several columns is a primary r
