[WSG] inability to line up elements in a print style sheet
Hi List http://actemp.sipu.anglia.ac.uk/steve/transcript/d59.html My colleague is trying to produce a print style sheet for IE only for a page of student results which will vary considerably in length from one student to another. He's using JS to work out how much of the table can be displayed on each page, and has marked the follow up page with the place where he'd like the continuing table to start on page 2. He's using absolute positioning to position the elements and has calculated that at 72dpi and A4, the page is exactly 1040px high, so if it printed reliably, he'd be able to position everything exactly. Needless to say, it isn't working. Does anyone have any ideas whether this can be achieved using css (or any other method)?

[WSG] help, please!!
Hello all, I've been developing a site based on the Ruthsarian layouts and it's working ok except in IE 6.0, where there's a problem which is leaving me baffled, so I'm hoping that someone will be able to help. The site is http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/camgsm/new_site/index.html The css is at http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/camgsm/new_site/css/colors.css http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/camgsm/new_site/css/complex.css http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/camgsm/new_site/css/simple.css The problem is that the header doesn't always display at all on some pages, such as http://www.ely.anglican.org/parishes/camgsm/new_site/activities/music/index.html. There isn't a problem if you set IE's options to refresh on every visit to the page, but that's not going to help most people! I'd be really grateful if anyone could come up with some suggestions as to what's going on. Many thanks Rachel Rachel Campbell ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **
[WSG] IE problem at small window size
Hello This is my first post, but I've read the list for ages and learnt masses - thanks very much. I have a problem with IE at small window size (640 x 480) when the content of the page gets shunted underneath the menu bar on the left. You should be able to see it happening on http://actemp.sipu.apu.ac.uk/timetabling/camb/ttindex.phtml the css is at http://web.apu.ac.uk/templates/php/common.css I've tried all sorts of things to stop it happening (this isn't the only page it occurs on) but have run out of ideas. Any help would be greatly welcomed. Thanks very much Rachel Rachel Campbell Web Assistant, Information Services CITS 01223 363271 ext 2026 ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

A large enough negative back margin on div#leftcolumn will keep IE/win
from pushing down the main content.
However, IE/win will then also need to display the rest of the page like
other browsers do, so you need to set height: auto on div#leftcolumn, or
else the footer will jump around.
You also need to feed IE/win with a new HasLayout trigger.
The total fix:
div#leftcolumn {margin-right: -163px; height: auto}
@media all {
* html div#wrapper2 {height: 0;}
}
Your page is now close to identical in Opera, Firefox and IE6.
I've just noticed that this fix makes #footer come up the page;
unfortunately it needs to stay at the bottom of the page, below
#leftcolumn. Any ideas as to how that can be achieved?
Many thanks
Rachel
