  • 0

I am currently developing a new website and have problems with IE7. First image is what it should look like. Second image is what IE7 renders (I use IETester to test older IE versions).

The first problem is with the white background which is applied with the following trick. There is a div that contains both left and right column with background-color: white; The left column has the same background as the page (and some padding-right) so that even if the right column’ height is less that left’s they appear to have equal height.

The second is with the list (ul) below the dummy text, which appears really messed up.

At first I thought that this would be easily solved with some “clear: both” here and there, but it didn’t. I’ve tried lots of things but with no luck.

Any idea what I should do?

    Ok, I solved the problems mentioned, after I read some articles about hasLayout. By applying specific width or zoom: 1 (there are other ways too in the previous link) to certain divs that didn’t wrap or clear properly, everything seems ok now.
