  don't give elements both a width and margin or padding.

  • unable to agree with this statement– idiots1/6

    give a container width and contained elements horizontal padding/margin. instantly eliminate box model issues– acescence2/6

    otherwise you will never get identical layout across all browsers unless you use conditionals and write rules for different browsers– acescence3/6

    specific browsers– acescence4/6

    Not true? Unless you want it to work in ie5.5?– thatboyneave5/6

    He's right. Display: inline can fix it, but I just nest divs, float the outer and add padding to the inner.– welded6/6

  Think about adding a Global CSS Reset, Google Eric Meyer - theres one there. Sometimes that can help. It'll fuck up your page a bit at the beginning but when you make changes, its should show on all browsers

  • i'll look it up, thanks– ntimm1/5

    +1. The promblems you have will be double margins or elements being too wide, causing float drops in ie6– thatboyneave2/5

    So use a reset, then set all your floats to display:inline. And make sure no images or long lines of unbroken text are making containers too wide.– thatboyneave3/5

    ...making containing divs too wide too sit next to each other.– thatboyneave4/5

    a reset will make things easier but not solve all your problems. murdering all humans using IE6 will however.– Samush5/5

  likely the absolute positioning bug. redefining those elements in a conditional stylesheet for ie 6 as relative sometimes fixes those issues.

  Seems like the IE6 double margin bug...
  try "display: inline" in every floated element

  • airey already covered that, sorry...– dmay

  Why is your client trapped in 1998, or whenever IE6 is from?

  Somebody should make a mint on a utility that browses your site using webkit, screenshots each page, and shows the screenshot to IE6 users...

  I kind of like it as it is. It's quirky.

  Just make every page a big image with url's linked with maps. SOLVED!

  fuck. it was released almost 10 years ago. tell him it's not your obligation as a developer to create shit for technology that was made a fucking decade ago. this is not your problem, it's his.

  We are starting to charge more for clients that demand the site works in IE6.

  • This is a good idea.– nb

  This is not far off. you need to narrow the 'the format' info block (class="whitebox_right"), until it floats properly. The problem may be due to excessive margin or padding, remember these values are all addative (+20 margin needs -40 width).

  Is the flash two SWF overlapping? That's really lazy, no wonder you're having problems.

  Same width problem as above affecting your floats for the SWFs.

  • Sorry, shouldn't call you lazy, that's just an extremely problematic way to approach this.– monNom1/2

    you would be better served by loading both of those movies into a single container SWF.– monNom2/2
