Hallo,

Please take a look at the following page: http://testwww.zeno.org/Bibliothek

Under Windows XP, with Firefox 2.x or IE 7 the page looks ok. Basically the
page has a header area and a main area, and both areas consist of fixed
width right and left columns and a center column with dynamic width.

There are a couple of problems under IE 6, maybe older versions, too. Mostly
in the main area.

In a previous version of the CSS I applied {float: left} to the left column
(div#zenoMFLeft). The middle column (div#zenoMFMiddle) had a min-width, and
in Internet Explorer (even v7) whenever the min-width was reached, the
middle column DIV broke down under the left column. Left and right margins
were applied to the middle column.

Later I decided to give the middle column a fixed position. I removed the
left and right margins, and instead I set the {left: 13.5em; right: 13.5em;}

This seemed to cause problems in IE 6, cause IE 6 computed the left
coordinate of the middle column not as 13.5 em from the surrounding DIV, but
13.5em from the right border of the left column DIV. After I commented out
the {float: left} for that DIV, it worked.

Anyway the two problems I like to correct are:
- The height of the menu items in the left column is wrong. This could be
corrected by defining a border for the <li> elements, but I don't want that.
Is there any other option?
- If the mouse rolls over the headers of the menu boxes ("Bibliothek",
"Community"), there are some strange background changes. Something similar
happens if the mouse rolls over the links in the main column.Their
background color changes to some light blue. But not only the links, but the
whole surrounding area. If I then roll over the area where it is written
"Blumen erfreuen immer" in the left column, all those background errors
vanish. I am pretty sure this is related to some known bugs and an be
corrected. 
- Sometimes when I reload the page, I get strange areas with that light blue
background color from the beginning.

If anyone could point me into the right direction I would be very glad.

Regards,

Christian Kirchhoff
