[css-d] help! margin: auto not working as expected

[cody h]

hi pros,

i am hoping to get a little help fixing a glitch i don't really
understand. the site in question is here:

http://www.evergreen.edu/

the outermost container's (#pagecontainer) side margins are set to
auto, but the container refuses to center in ie6. strangely, it used
to work fine, but i can't figure out what might have been done to
break it. the rule where the margins are set is contained in the
stylesheet called screen.css located at
http://www.evergreen.edu/includes/css/screen.css but there are
numerous other stylesheets that control other parts of the page, and
we've had a number of developers working on this project, so i admit
i'm a little under-informed as to the current status of all the css
code.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

cody

Re: [css-d] help! freaky ie float/margin bug

[cody h]

thank you ingo! the zoom: 1 declaration seemed to fix it completely. where 
did that come from? i will look up layouted boxes and see what i find...
 anyway, if you want to see the before and after versions, i have included 
links to examples below. the home_fixed contains the zoom: 1 declaration 
inside the style tag in the head at the top of the page.
 before: http://www.hinchliff.us/articles/home.htm
after: http://www.hinchliff.us/articles/home_fixed.htm

  so i have a container with a left margin, inside which all my page 
 content
  lives. i want to have images with captions directly below them floating 
 to
  the right inside the page container, but when i do this the whole layout
  blows up in ie 6 ...on win. it's like ie can't make
  up its mind about the left margin on the page container. it gets redrawn
  over and over as i scroll and jitters and moves from the left side of 
 the
  window to where it's supposed to be. text disappears from containers 
 close
  to the floated image container but reappers when selected and then 
 remains
  until i redraw or scroll again (sometimes), and hovering over links 
 makes
  things appear and disappear. it's totally hosed
 
 Cody, this is a weird story. Sounds like the usual IE freak float show,
 though.
 
 But: We can't debug this without an URL or some working code at least.
 You provided the code of the content, but why not just give us a chance
 and show the container too?
 
 Anyway, so far I got information from your bug report, I compiled this
 test case:
 http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/tmp/freakfloat.html
 Note what happens on resizing the window ... (1280x1024- 500x1024)
 
 Is it like in your page? If so, apply zoom:1 to the container for a
 test. Does it still show the same?
 
 regards, Ingo
