RE: [WSG] IE 5 position problems

I think that breaks was a
very gentle word to use  perhaps is destroyed by would better
capture the situation. 



how
different could IE Mac be?, I say to myself as I happily ignore Russs
building with boxes browser checking stage. Gotta get me a Mac.



Thanks Lucian and Russ for your time.



James

[WSG] IE 5 position problems



Hi guys,



Just wondering if anyone knew why
this layout http://www.swamphen.com/testing/naturalgrocer/index3.html
was breaking in IE5 (severe) and 5.5 (not so severe). I suspect it may be to do
with the box model or a float bug, but cant quite isolate it.



Any help much appreciated.



The rendering problems are:




in
IE5 (Win) the top edges of the two columns are not even;


In
IE5.5 Win the spacing between the columns is too close;


Havent
even looked at the mac yet!



Works in IE6, N6, Firebird



Cheers



James

All kidding aside, Macmall.com has some of last year's iBooks (g3800, 12.1 screen) for $699 right now in their blowout area.  All are new, unopened, and include a Panther upgrade.  Current E-Bay price is in the $900 range for similar used ones.

Hi Ben,

Thanks to the time delay on the mailing list our messages crossed. I
will take a look at your suggestion and see if it will make the coding
simpler.

Now, as my mother used to say, Go outside and enjoy the sundshine.

Cheers

James

Hi James,

Without my trusty toolkit handy, I can't answer why it is breaking, I
suspect it is probably a box-model issue as you say, but I do have a
suggestion that might fix the problems.

As you have a fixed-width layout, explicitly setting widths for both
columns and float:lefting the first column, changing
#containerProductUpdates to float:right instead of margin-left:auto
should make things simpler for the browser to nut out.

#containerProductUpdates
{
float:right;
/* margin-left:auto; */
padding:0px;
width:387px
}

hth,
Ben
