[css-d] New url for disappearing content issue in ie6

[Jenn Mears]

Hello again!

I am so sorry to bug everyone with this again, but it turns out that the IT 
people CHANGED the URL after I left for the day!  Here is the correct one:

http://www.bipster.com/beta/order_credit.html

Mainly, my issue is that the page's side navigation and content is not showing 
up, just the top banner.  This should be the path to the CSS:

http://www.bipster.com/beta/order.css

The page shows up in Safari, Firefox and IE7, but not IE6 on our monitors at 
the office.  Any input would be greatly appreciated and thank you for letting 
me know that the previous url was incorrect!

TIA,
Jenn

top_banner /
side_nav /
main_body /

#top_banner {
width: 100%;
...
float: left;
}

#side_nav {
position:absolute;
...
width:200px;
}

#main_body {
position: absolute;
...
}

Most IE disappearance bugs are related to floats and position:absolute. 
IE cannot determine the correct placement of a a.p. element following a 
float.

A fix could be to unfloat #top_banner (for IE-only if the float is 
needed to contain floating child elements)

Another fix is not for sensitive persons: add clear:left to #side_nav.

The best fix would be to drop the usage of position:absolute as a main 
layout principle.

But the book by Andy Clarke reads: choosing positioning over floats is 
best practise. We should discuss this in more detail once IE6 is history.

regards,

Ingo
