I chose to slightly alter the code. I went down the road of one true layout and played with the columns. As far as I can tell it now works. Except for the header. Why do I have a large gap at the top in some browsers and none in others please?

From: Richard Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dejavulostwithiel.co.uk/ as I can tell it now works. Except for the header. Why do I have a large gap at the top in some browsers and none in others please? Different implementations of escaping/collapsing margins. To eliminate the gap, set the top margin of your h1 element to zero. (This is one way to solve the problem, there are others). - http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#collapsing-margins ~holly __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

[css-d] Three Column advice needed
Hi All Getting ambitious and needing a little bit of advice. http://dejavulostwithiel.co.uk/ http://dejavulostwithiel.co.uk/wp-content/themes/dejavu/style.css The above is a three column site that has two navigational columns floated left both with fixed width objects contained in. Navigation elements in one and a gallery in another. I have tried to leave the site as flexible width. However, I found that the side columns weren't holding up because the elements contained in them were larger than the width when viewed in a small monitor. So I have added min-width: 900px; to try to prevent this happening. 22% of 900px = 198px. I have discovered that the site fails in IE 6. The columns end up merged together. I have several questions: Is it better to stick with fixed with columns when using fixed width elements please? I could always leave the content flexible. (if so has anybody got a design I could look at to understand the code needed please?) Could I set a min-width on the navigation columns, say 200px please? Do I need to add some sort of declaration to get it to work in ie 6 please? Many thanks. -- Kind regards Rich http://www.cregy.co.uk Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

Do I need to add some sort of declaration to get it to work in ie 6 please? Many thanks. IE6 doesn't understand min-width, rather, its width acts like a min-width due to its additive box model implementation. Example: If you declare a width of 500px on a div while also declaring a margin:5px and padding:5px, IE6 will see that as OK 500px, plus 5px per side for margin and 5px per side for padding - I'll render that 540px wide! Hence, all the layout trouble. Ways around that are numerous, from the * html filter/hack which allows you to declare a different width for IE6 to account for its quirks, to using child selectors in a separate declaration that standards-compliant can read and IE6 can't. It depends on your situation and your preferences. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
