Re: [WSG] .NET Remoting Activex Javascript not working in IE8
At the risk of sounding nasty, this is a "Web Standards Group" list... Active X isn't a web standard by any sense of the definition. Maybe a different list may help?

[WSG] Re: IE 6 Nightmare
Hello
Thanks everyone for the help. I was able to use Thierry's suggestion and
change my #mainContent div id to the following:
#mainContent {
background: #FFFfff;
display: inline;
overflow: hidden;
zoom: 1;
}
Then I had to add an margin-right: -3px; to my left nav div to solve the IE
3 pixel job bug. Once those were added to my css, my navigation problem in
Firefox was solved. Just noticed that my main content was shifted over to
the left in the mainContent div only in Firefox.but I believe that is a
margin issue.
Thanks for the help everyone!

RE: [WSG] IE 6 Nightmares
I faced several similar problems before, but, to be honest, don't remember exactly what I did. But I can offer some suggestions: make sure that parents have RELATIVE positioning, make sure that all parents are Relative, plus Parents have a fixed height (not percentages) - I know fixed height is bad, but just see if that works, and then base your decisions based on that.

Re: [WSG] IE 6 Nightmares
To concur with Thierry, the float on #mainContent appears unnecessary on this page. Give it a margin, or padding, to push the content off the left bar and you should be good to go.

RE: [WSG] IE 6 Nightmares
Ive been racking my brain trying to solve a CSS problem and I was hoping somebody here can point me in the right direction. Im developing a site that has to work in all modern browsers and IE 6. Here is the link to a sample page: http://www.jasonbyer.com/dev/new/ The problem that Im having is that currently the page looks fine in IE 6 but in Firefox the navigation doesnt extend the entire width of the screen. That's because #mainContent is a float and without a width it shrinkwraps There are many ways to style this, but fwiw I'd not use float on that container, I'd make it a block formatting context (e.g., overflow:hidden;zoom:1) and then go from there. As a side note, there is no need to use height:1% on the side bar (it is a float so it has a layout already) -- Regards, Thierry www.tjkdesign.com | www.ez-css.org | @thierrykoblentz *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: memberh...@webstandardsgroup.org ***
[WSG] Re: WSG Digest
Hi Jason,
It looks like you need to set a width on #mainContent. The tricky part comes
in deciding what to set this width as. If you set a width on it of something
like 800px (assuming your screen is large enough), and then adjust that
width greater and smaller, you should be able to see how it affects the
width of the navbar in Firefox.
However, because #leftnav has a width in pixels, you'll either need to fix
the width of #mainContent also in pixels (and make a judgement call on how
wide that should be), or change the width of both #leftnav and #mainContent
to percentages, and then that will work for any width screen size.
Also, if you do set a width for #mainContent, that should stop dropping down
in Firefox if you remove the float:left;
Hope this helps!

[WSG] IE 6 Nightmares
Hello,
I've been racking my brain trying to solve a CSS problem and I was hoping
somebody here can point me in the right direction. I'm developing a site
that has to work in all modern browsers and IE 6. Here is the link to a
sample page:
http://www.jasonbyer.com/dev/new/
The problem that I'm having is that currently the page looks fine in IE 6
but in Firefox the navigation doesn't extend the entire width of the screen.
Here is my sample code for the content area:
New
Search
Help
Here is the CSS code for the div's
#leftnav {
width: 180px;
float: left;
display: inline;
height: 1%;
/* reduce the float drop issue in IE */
border-right-width: 2px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-right-color: #999;
}
#mainContent {
background: #FFFfff;
display: inline;
float: left;
}
.mattblackmenu ul{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font: bold 12px Verdana;
list-style-type: none;
background: url(../images/nav/mainnav_bg.gif);
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
height: 28px;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 4px 1px #c0c0c0;
-moz-box-shadow: 0px 4px 1px #c0c0c0;
box-shadow: 0px 4px 1px #c0c0c0;
}
One thing that I did notice was that when I removed the float:left from the
#mainContent id then the navigation is stretched correctly in Firefox but
the main content moves below the left nav. Has anyone experienced this
problem before? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
