Hi Michael,

It is because of your DIV.pie if you remove its width things should go back
to normal.
As Russ said, this is a typical IE6 issue. An easy way to find out if
something is too wide is to use "overflow:hidden" on the container. 
If that brings the float back into place then it means there is something
inside that is "pushing the envelop".

Looking at my site putting with widths up in Firefox it doesn't look 
like its too wide.  However I did just add padding so I'm wondering if 
thats the issue. 

Thanks for letting me know where to look at least.   I'll be offline for 
Passover till sunday but will let you know how it turns out.

Without looking in detail, when a column drops in IE6 there are normally 2
common reasons.

1. The most common cause is setting a margin on one of the floated columns
that triggers a double margin float bug. In your case this does not seem to
be the issue.

2. The next common cause is to do with content that is too wide for the
parent container.

You have two columns (#colLeft or #colRight) inside a parent container
(#container). There is a possibility that some element inside one of the two
columns (#colLeft or #colRight) is wider than the column itself.

In most browsers this will not be an issue. The width of the columns
(#colLeft or #colRight) will be honoured  -regardless of the width of
content inside. 


However, IE6 will honour the width of content inside the columns (#colLeft
or #colRight) rather than the width assigned to the columns. This means that
the column may appear wider in IE than other browsers.

This has a spill-over effect...  If the two columns (#colLeft or #colRight)
have defined widths (240px and 530px), and they sit inside a parent
(#container) that also has a defined width (770px) then the two columns may
not fit if IE has determined that one of these two columns is wider. So, IE6
will allow the second column (#colRight) to drop below the first column
(#colLeft).

You can quickly test this by commenting out the content inside the columns
(I'd start with content inside #colRight where all the action is) and see if
the layout suddenly works again. If this happens, you will know the culprit
and can deal with it - by assigning a specific width or using one of the
more nasty work-arounds:

Form Fields"

I'm thinking

client name here
Then set the background-color for .client in the css file.

Re: [WSG] premature to test/worry new site for IE8?

2008-04-25 Thread Michael Horowitz
You need to be worried if IE 8 isn't compliant with standards or 
standards changes that don't exist today are implemented in ie 8.


There really is no way to guarantee everything will run in a browser 
that currently doesn't exist.

know how or if I should commit to such 'expectation'.


Last time with IE 7, there was no problem and none of the sites I 
coded for her break when  IE 7 came out. I think this version 
targeting thing really got people worry.


Say, I code my CSS with best practice just like I'd always do, and 
treat IE browsers with CC should it be needed. Do I need to worry 
anything with IE8? It didn't occur to me to worry anything at all 
until client was making this request.

[WSG] IE 6 bugs

2008-04-25 Thread Michael Horowitz
I have a site http://www.agilecreditreport.com whose homepage displays 
correctly in IE 7, Firefox and Opera and displays incorrectly in IE 6. 

So this is one of those famed IE 6 bugs that is hopefully going away 
soon.  Two issue sidebar shows up on top and not on the side and some of 
the fields have a yellow background (less important issue)


Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank

Hi Amrider,

I would suggest adding another  around 
...  with a min-height of 100%:

div#wrapper {
min-height: 100%;
}

This should keep the footer at the bottom of the page on short pages.
