Re: [css-d] footer doesn't occupy width in IE6
Good morning David, It was foretold that on 01/10/2008 @ 01:07:52 GMT-0400 (which was 02:07:52 where I live) David Laakso would write: snipped a bit Only IE/7 has the mickey mouse zoom thingy.

Re: [css-d] footer doesn't occupy width in IE6
Good afternoon David, It was foretold that on 01/10/2008 @ 10:55:00 GMT-0400 (which was 11:55:00 where I live) David Laakso would write: snipped a bit Average users are not running around with IE debuggers in order to zoom fonts in IE/6, so it's a mute point in my opinion.

As far i can tell, at the moment, it's the gallery and logo that breaks apart at smaller than default... which i haven't corrected yet .. hopefully i'll be able to do that later today (fingers crossed). With not so many users will surf at small text i meant at tiny page zoom. So, to sum it up: get the gallery and logo in shape. -- Best regards, Luc _ Using the best e-mail client: The Bat! version 4.0.18 with Windows XP (build 2600), version 5.1 Service Pack 2 and using the best browser: Opera.

the container.
Short on the right side at my end.

Page suffers from the auto-expansion bug in IE6 - something is too
wide in there, making the page too wide.
The footer OTOH stretches only '100%' of the intended
'width:48.75em;', so it appears to be too narrow.
You either add...
* html .twoColElsLtHdr #container{
overflow-x: hidden;
}
...to kill the auto-expansion bug, or you find what's causing the
expansion and removes that.

I'll go for the easy solution lol... the overflow-x method did it of
course...
Tnx Gunlaug!!!
