You should use an HTML doctype then, like... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd";> ...since IE6 can't see the difference and has no idea what XHTML is. Neither do you :-) so better stick to HTML. The IE-bugs are the need for 'hasLayout'[1] triggers, and a dose of '3px jog'[2]. These bugs are addressed, and "killed", below. > 1) The nav menu: I have an ugly pink background set to show me where > the list items appear.

Add, for IE/win only... #navMenu {margin-right: -4px;} #bodyContent {height: 1%; margin: 0} > My CSS is found here: http://www.ccpasco.org/default.css The validator can't find it through the page, because of all the errors in the source-code. Will improve slightly when you use a more appropriate doctype, but non-valid source-code is neither necessary nor useful. You should correct that CC to... <!--[if lt IE 7]> ...or else IE7 will become confused since Microsoft have fixed /some/ of the bugs in that "thing". Address IE7 separately when you see it. regards Georg [1]http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html [2]http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/threepxtest.html -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
