Re: [WSG] Help with IE 6

[Chris Stratford]

They are right - you dont need width: 100% the only adverse effect that will have - now you wont see the HOVER Effect unless you hover over the TEXT and not the BOX in IE ONLY... Most other browsers this will work still... NOTE: Im only fairly sure what I said is true. I have been in similar situations, and the width: 100% was the same issue. And removing it - caused what I described above to happen... :) Cheers Chris Stratford Ryan Christie wrote: Amit Karmakar wrote:   The site: http://www.maysvillerotary.org CSS: http://www.maysvillerotary.org/assets/styles/maysvillerotary.css It's pretty late over here, and I only brushed over the stuff but #navcontainer { float: left; width: 199px; border-right: 1px solid #B4D3DC; padding: 0 0 1em 0; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Verdana, Lucida, Geneva, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; /*background-color: #99CCCC;*/ background: #C7E4E6; color: #333; } I think your problem has a bit to do with the box model manhandling of IE6's engine. When you're using specified witdths in your CSS, be careful about also specifying the padding -- it'll break lots of stuff in IE. Can get around with Tantek's V-F hack (http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html) or just avoid using width+padding in block elements. under #navigation li a, I don't think you should need a width:100% .. li will fill up the space they reside in horizontally unless limited by a max-width/width.
