With the public release of IE7 nearly on us I'm just wondering whether it's better to download the fix to stop IE7 installing via automatic update and continue to use IE7 as a standalone, or let IE7 replace IE6 and then install a standalone for IE6. What would be the pros and cons of each m

IE <= 6 will expand heights to contain content. Other browsers won't. The reason why everything's getting messed up in FF & Opera is because of the set heights. Editing your CSS in FF, I made these changes and it looked OK: #middlecontent{ } #middlelefttext{ float:left; width:298px; color:rgb

Re: [WSG] Relative positioning and Netscape 6

2006-10-15 Thread John Faulds
Relative positioning is not a very reliable cross browser method for getting elements where you want them. You're better off using an element's margins for most positioning and in some cases floats (e.g. float: left/right). On Mon, 16 Oct 2006 11:35:58 +1000, Andrew Ivin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
