[css-d] help with disappearing borders in IE6/Win

2005-09-27 Thread Linda Quinn 
Hello to everyone. I am new to this list - just found out about it  
today while doing some research on css problems. Thought I would give  
asking for help here a try.


I am building a site and on several pages I am using top and bottom  
borders to highlight section headings. All is well on Netscape  FF  
(Win) and Safari, FF, Netscape  Opera (Mac). However, in IE6/Win the  
borders do not appear. A link to one of the pages is:


http://www.housecallcs.com/newWeb/pages/services.htm

the same problem occurs on the About Us page. The home page uses the  
borders, but they show up. The only difference between the two  
heading, is that on the Services  About Us page, I use a negative  
text-indent  a first-child, neither of which are used on the home  
page. The CSS that includes the border, negative text indent, and  
first-letter sizing is:


#holder h3 {
margin-top:10px;
font-size:1.125em;
text-indent:-0.9em;
color:#993233;
letter-spacing:.25em;
border-top:3px double #245397;
border-bottom:3px double #245397;
}


#holder h3:first-letter {
font-size:1.25em;
}

Any ideas on how I can get the borders to show in IE6? Can I change  
the CSS, or do I need a hack?


BTW, my XHTML and CSS validate (I do have a question on that, but I  
will wait on it).


Thanks for any help you can give me.

I think

 text-indent:-0.9em;


is the problem. I've never even heard of text-indent before. Does it work if
you take this out?

Several ways to avoid and/or fix that IE/win bug. Almost too many to
mention, so I'll just give you a 'in this case' solution.

Adding this:
#holder {position: relative; padding-top: 1px; margin-top: 0;}
...will fix it based on what you have now.

Adjust that margin-top as you like, and note that it's part of a
cross-browser stabilization and not part of the bug-fix itself.

regards
Georg
