Greetings, css-d I've recently started working on a new website design for the lab I work for. I'm not very experienced as a web designer, particularly in the use of CSS, but I've been studying and experimenting a lot for the past several weeks. I've finally got something that looks decent in firefox, but has some annoying display problems in IE. I've been researching as much as I can of the information available online about IE's various css bugs, and I suspect my problems stem from the "3px float error" and boxes that grow when they're not supposed to, but I'm having trouble working out how exactly these bugs and their workarounds apply in my particular case.
The development version of my site design is being served at: http://clml.uchicago.edu:8081/ Hopefully the source is fairly readable. The css file is at http://clml.uchicago.edu:8081/static/css/main.css I would be most grateful if any of you could take a look at it and make any suggestions. In particular, I've noticed the following things get screwed up in IE: - the main content box (with the white background) is for some reason not flush with the menu to its left (as it is in firefox), and thus does not line up with the orange header and footer. - the blue div which runs horizontally across the field grows taller as the window resizes, whereas it is supposed to keep a fixed height (as it does in firefox). - the main content box doesn't respect its minimum height in IE I'm aware that PNGs don't render with transparency in IE, so I'll get around to fixing the logo by converting to a gif. Also, if you're curious, i'm rounding the corners of the header and footer in javascript (with MochiKit). Thanks for any assistance. Yell at me if these problems have been answered too often -- just provide a link to the appropriate part of the archives :) -- Max Bane [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
