Hi All, I site I've started at http://entyce.net.au/index1.html looks good in IE7, Firefox etc but am getting a problem with not having a white background in IE6. You'll see what I mean. I've used the Inman position clearing (along with some Andy Clark ideas from his book) to have the footer

Hi Susan, To make the navigation buttons clickable in IE7 you need to define the container as position: relative: #container { position: relative; } Also the pseudo links should be defined for :link and :visited if you define It for :hover. Try using these for the

Hi again Still on the same website ... Apparently on a couple of pages in IE6, the main content isn¹t starting till after the end of the leftnav div ­ ie. Further down the page. It is fine in IE7 and Firefox. And fine on Firefox and Safari on the Mac. The pages concerned have either got a form,

I'm not seeing the problems as you describe - the content appears in the same place in FF IE6 on both pages. There are couple of other problems in IE6 though: on the form page, your textareas are aligned right and not with the text above them and on the calendar page, none of the links in

Hi, something else has cropped up. (Doesn't it always?!) and always when you least need it :) you could try textarea { margin-left: -200px; /* though this would be best in an IE-fixit.cssstylesheet using ie conditional comments */ width: 70%; height: 12em; font-family: helvetica, arial,

No, sorry, that wasn¹t what I meant. (Unclear I know!) When you¹re on the calendar pages there are links in a level 2 menu ­ GIFs, TIPs and Cultural Calendar. I think that John was meaning that those links weren¹t clickable. (But maybe I¹m wrong?!) They work for me as I said, but ...

It's not the links on the calendar that don't work - it's the links in the left nav. Not sure why but it's something to do with the h2 because taking it out fixes the problem. On Mon, 14 May 2007 12:58:37 +1000, Sam Sherlock [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: works fine in ff, opera ie on

Yep, for me too. sorry to say. However other pages are ok. also removing the image (for me in ie6) gets the first link (and not the others) working. and I'd have to say that that has me beat. and after further investigation removing the margin-bottom: -10px gets it working - S On
