[WSG] IE6 width issue
Good morning A client is still having issues with his site www.bourkebridgeinn.com.au. I asked him to send me a screenshot: http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/test/screenshot.jpg It seems to be a problem only in IE6 at a screen resolution of 800x600 and lower. The #header does not fit the full width of the container on the left hand side as it should and neither does the #nav. Although it cannot be seen in the screenshot, the footer is also far too high.At a resolution of 640x480, the #nav also breaks. I was wondering if it was anything to do with the max-width I have on #container and #nav as I know IE6 does not recognise max-width.

From: Lynette Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] A client is still having issues with his site www.bourkebridgeinn.com.au. I asked him to send me a screenshot: http://www.westernwebdesign.com.au/test/screenshot.jpg It seems to be a problem only in IE6 at a screen resolution of 800x600 It breaks to 2 lines in all browsers if you make the window width such that all those items will not fit. I was wondering if it was anything to do with the max-width I have on #container and #nav as I know IE6 does not recognise max-width. You need min-width in addition to, or instead of, max-width. IE7 will be fine, along with other modern browsers. For IE6 you need to use a script or a CSS expression to set min-width. You can google ie6 min-width css expression. You should get lots of hits. If not, reply back and I'll give you one. -- Al Sparber - PVII http://www.projectseven.com Fully Automated Menu Systems | Galleries | Widgets http://www.projectseven.com/go/Elevators *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] IE6 width issue
I was wondering if it was anything to do with the max-width I have on #container and #nav as I know IE6 does not recognise max-width. I have changed max-width: 80em to width: 100% and also changed the width of #main from 69% to 59%. This seems to have fixed all the issues in IE6 except the #nav breaking at 640x480. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] IE6 width issue
Thanks Al You need min-width in addition to, or instead of, max-width. IE7 will be fine, along with other modern browsers. For IE6 you need to use a script or a CSS expression to set min-width. You can google ie6 min-width css expression. You should get lots of hits. If not, reply back and I'll give you one. I have indeed already looked at using expressions and found it all a bit confusing so I resorted to not using max-width and substituting width: 100%; it seems to be OK now. Thanks for the offer, though. Re the #nav breaking, is there any way around this? I must confess I don't really worry about 640x480 anymore.
