Re: [css-d] Problems with IE doing centered layout

2006-05-17 Thread Jade Rauenzahn 
I'm not sure if IE will allow you to set a width on the body element. It's
best to just make a container div to create that fixed width box, and I
would think that would fix the problem.

Agreed - use a container div with a fixed width. Also, try and keep your css
file naming convention to ***.css rather than ***.txt - makes it easier for
people to identify it in the future.

Thank you for the input. Changing it up to use a containing div seems to 
have taken care of the problem. Now to go poke around at the other 
little issues.

 Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jay, it is not exactly clear to me about exactly what you are after. If 
your goal is to make it the same in IE6.0. FF1.5.2, and Opera9beta, then:
1/ Delete the stuff above the doctype, that is putting it in quirks mode.
2/ div.content { padding-top: 1px; add this to this selector
}
3/ Validate the CSS.
4/ Make a back-up copy of your html file. Run it through 
TidyOnlinehttp://infohound.net/tidy/ to clean up the markup.
5/ Validate the markup.
Lucky strike extras:
6/ Trim the page width so it will not draw a scroll bar at 800.
7/ Set the text and side nav flush left(text-aligh: left;
8/ Reset the fonts so that IE can scale them. This one method of doing so:
body { font: 100%/1.2 sans-serif;}
Delete the font-families you currently have on the selectors;
Set the both navs to font-size: 95%;
Set no font-size on the content-text(it will inherit default from the body)
HTH,
