I reserve that size for disclaimers and copyright lines, and even the

[css-d] IE6, absolute positioning, percentage heights

2009-12-28 Thread D A
I'm trying to nest an absolutely positioned DIV inside of a relatively positioned DIV and give that nested DIV a percentage height. This works fine in all browsers (including IE7 and 8) but IE6 refused to give the nested DIV the height I specify. I've tried giving it has layout to no avail. Googl

[css-d] IE6 vertical spacing issue on LI elements (imagine that)

Hi all, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how to resolve a vertical spacing issue on IE6. (Yes, that old beast.) Here is the site: http://preview.floydcompanyinc.com The left-hand navigation bar, and overall site structure, is behaving as desired in IE7, IE8, FF3.5, and Safari 4. In I
