Just looking at it in IE6 I hear screams of width and margin bugs. When sections drop like that in IE6 it usually means math errors fed by IE's various margin and padding bugs. Things fit perfectly until IE adds a pixel or three here and there. Put some borders around the main parts to see how far off he is and then adjust widths downward until it fits. Looking at positioniseverything.net would also help. Looking quickly and briefly at the css seems to confirm the initial impression. First, IE6 doesn't recognize position: fixed. If he means to fix the location of the header etc in the container, use position:absolute within the position:relative container. Secondly., using pixels for sizing is problematic. Percentages usually work better in addition to being liquid. The design shatters quickly. That's enough before the fine tooth combs are applied. And there isn't anything really horrid, just that annoying tweaking. drew ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
