 Win-XP/SP2 is said to introduce a nice soup of float-related
 freeze/crash bugs in IE6, but I can't reproduce any such problems on any
 of my installations with that or other win-OS/SPs for that page, and I
 won't venture into blind debugging of IE6.

 If anyone can reproduce this particular IE-bug and pin-point what
 exactly that bugger chokes on, than a bug-fix may be found and added -
 short of changing the actual 'negative margins on floats' demo as such.

Hi David/Georg,

Ik looks like both M$ browsers have the same problem. Only IE6 crashes on it.
IE7 acts weird with the left column. I will try to focus on the ie specific
stylesheet with the width:expression . thingies. to solve it. I have spent
way to much time on it until know, but I am not ready to give up. I can
definitely use some advise here.

More case-specific information, please.
- Which layout are you experiencing which problems with (links)
- Which stylesheets are involved (links)
- What's happening in which browser(s).
- What's supposed to happen - your intentions.

At the moment I'm just confused and have no idea what to look for,
where. (Happens at times when threads go back and forth for a while and
I'm busy doing my own things.)

tHNx for the effort so far. i noticed this on all ie6's (sp2) i tested so far
and ie7 also has a problem with the left column when resizing. for the time
being i'll just take this fact as it is.

Solution, add...

#right {margin-left: -2px;}

Hey List,

I am stuck with a special problem (aren't all problems :-) ). Anyway I have a
centered 3col layout with max-width and min-width (resizes nicely to fit
800x600) and left and right col fixed width. I float the columns left,left,right
to position the stuff. Needless to say the center column is the one that resizes
(width: 100%). Now on windows ie's and opera everything is ok. On Linux latest
Firefox is ok, but Opera, Konqueror on Linux sends my right column to the bottom
next to my center column. 

I found out what causes this behaviour, but I cannot

seem to fix it. My center column has border-left end border right 1px solid
color to distinguish between the columns. When I drop the borders all is well
AFAICS in all browsers. I can see that in the two Linux browsers mentioned
before the width of the center column is 2px more than in other browsers. This
means to me the width is calculated differently here. I tried to move the border
declarations to another position in the stylesheets to maybe get a different
order in rendering so the calculation of the width of the center column might
change. Alas this does not help.

Can someone shed light on why this is so on the two Linux browsers and how I can
solve this? My example lives here: http://gbo.intermax.nl. Technically this
design was very hard to achieve as it is.



I have just done a revamp of some webpaged  and came across the same problem 
with the third column
 - except in my case it was on IE on windows (had to change max-width to 
width). I use ICEweazel on linux which is much the same as firefox.


You might like to test following urls and check out their style sheets
note it  is in XHTML the second HTML4.01
http://www.ramin.com.au/travel-guide
http://www.ramin.com.au/linux/

If the first one works for you, then drop width and make float none on center 
panel.
