Hi Georg
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain everything. I have a much clearer idea now.
Yes, that's another way to fix things in IE/win for that layout. IE/win does a much better job if we let it decide width-issues by itself... :)
I decided the best way out was just to re-design the page and in actual fact it now conforms to the same design as the rest of the pages - which I should have done in the first place.
The "no-set-width" version is fine down to some 740px browser-width, from where the link-list on top starts wrapping and pushing everything below it out of position. This starts much earlier if text-zoom is used (larger). Try that in FF.
Yes, I had noticed the effect much more so in FF than in IE.
- FF/Op/Saf is in need of some clearing on that link-list, so it doesn't push the content too badly out of place when wrapped. Think this will do: http://www.positioniseverything.net/easyclearing.html
I think this is fixed now.
Think "accessibility" and so on. ...Better I know what fails and are in (some) control, than things breaking in ways I don't know about... :)
All this is even more important on sites that are about web design
Yes, exactly - that is why I have not yet told many people my site is up as I want to be sure it is as correct as I can make it. I reduced some widths to guard against float drop in IE which was happening on the pages with forms. I am not very happy with my images in the side boxes as although I have made them quite large (200x500) at large increased text sizes they do not fill the boxes.
CSS is indeed fun though very frustrating at time for a beginner. Thanks again for your help.
Kind regards
