I upgraded a website I’ve been working on (http://barsannapolis.com) to a CSS Layout, and things appeared to go well for the most part. The site renders correctly in Firefox, Chrome, IE 7, and Safari, but the design appears to be complete borked in IE 6. Does anybody have any guidance regarding how to get the problems fixed. Perhaps there is something simple I am overlooking?
Also, are there any IE tools that make it easier to live-edit the CSS, like firebug.
positioniseverything.net is your friend. Since I’ve long ago left that world (thank God!), I don’t envy you, but the problem is usually double padding, esp. if your floated boxes aren’t lining up (‘dropping’).
You can hack IE6 with
width:30px; _width: 20px;in your stylesheet, where the _ rule at the end is the IE6 ‘adjustment’ you wish to make. That works for all the rules, across the board.But every time I had a problem, it was usually down to double-padding horizontally, which really harfs floated divs in IE6.
Good luck. Like I said, I do not envy you in the slightest. IE6 is a plague which must be eradicated.
