In ie6 I don't have 7 so might do the same. I am getting an undesired spacing in the left menu. I also get it sporaticly between the header and the nav. If you view my site in ff or opera it looks as i want. Just can't get it to quite layout right in Ie. I would greatly apreciate any help anyone could offer me.
Re: Spacing problems in Ie Gettting extra spacing between divs
I realy apreciate your help.
I know if i turn repeat on. the image in Ie shows up 3 times. maybe that will shead some light.
I put the included css in mine, I was missing the class I nedd to go thur it all and see what else i am missing, and what i can remove or combine in the css file. Its still bloated. This is my first time using css. You have no idea how bad the template was. I have 300 less lines of output and it downloads for a 56ker near 8 secs. It usta take over 40 secs.
But back on track. Me putting that fixed the spacing problem i was getting between my header and nave every few reloads.
I have tried putting it in the left nav are in the differn divs and its not helping there. I will go thru the link provided to see if there is something there that helps.
Re: Spacing problems in Ie Gettting extra spacing between divs
The problem is that IE does things differently than other browsers. If the page displays correctly on IE, it usually glumps up on other browsers. If it works on other browsers, it does something weird on IE.
As an example, the width style is supposed to include the padding and margins, so the total width the object occupies is counted. But IE excludes the padding and margins, so the object takes up more space than the declared width indicates. So when I make a page which shows two equally-wide columns, IE displays them as unequal, makes them too wide and adds a scroll bar, or puts one column above the other in single column form.
Something tells me that Microsift does it on purpose. Since most developers use IE to test their work, it will look like the other browsers are the ones which malfunction. But the other browsers are the ones following the standard.
I code with Firefox and Netscape, then check to see that IE doesn't mess it up too badly. If IE is going to mess up a little, I just let it, just to show how goofy IE is.

I think the easiest way to make your site look good is to use both browser for testing. Or even use the ff plugin ie tab. Anyway the idea of web design isn't to make your site look bad, because most people who use the web will thinks it is your website that looks bad not the browser that is making it look bad.
