Default IE 6 display problem - 01-04-2008 , 01:52 PM






I have a page here:

http://www.bigskyknitting.com/Blog/Blog.html

I have checked the code for browser compatibility in Dreamweaver and it comes
up clean. However, some people who try to view my page with Internet Explorer
are running into the issue of the sidebar being forced down to the bottom of
the page. Other people viewing it in Internet Explorer have no problems at all.
No one viewing it in Firefox, Opera, or Safari has reported a problem. Am I
missing something really obvious? I'd like to get this fixed because it's
annoying the hell out of me.

Thanks so much.

Hi

I could be incorrect and no doubt will be told so but I thought that each
div id had to be unique you seem to have two container id'sssss.

If I rename the second incidence as below: (line before <div id="story">

<div id="container">
<div id="top">
<div align="left"><img src="../Images/BSKDBanner08.gif" alt="Big Sky
Knitting Designs Banner" width="469" height="167" hspace="25"
vspace="20"></div>
</div>


<div id="containers">
<div id="story">

then viewed in IE it now looks perfect.

If I now create another css rule for containers I can format as I wish

HTH

Ian

Thank you, yes, that does seem to help but then the horizontal red bar between
the banner and the rest of the page disappears. I have no idea how thats second
div id got in there and it's not showing up in my CSS.

At least it's a start. Thanks so much.

Hi

in your code you seem to have:
<DIV id=main></DIV> what pupose does this div have?

Your Div redbar seems to run from line 81 to line 253 and contain the div
story.
It may be that your problem is here.

I would suggest you look at the format of your page and validate your
code.Around line 360 -380 you have several errors of unclosed </a> tags and
nesting errors.

HTH
