Big white space

Hello.

I've been helping a friend create this web page ssmvs.110mb.com and it looks perfect in Firefox. In IE the main text is pushed down below the left menu but still in the correct position horizontally. I've looked on google for answers and played with widths on the css but cannot get it to behave as I want it to.

Any help on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Big white space

All I see is that the menu is pushed to the left, off the page. Try playing around with float in css... Sometimes the trick is to use float:left; on the menu and float:right; on the content.

Re: Big white space

Any reason why you set your body width? I don't recommend that. People usually style their body only for the margin: 0 and padding: 0!

Why don't you create another div container and set that width into something that you want your content limited to! You might search the wrong thing with google, there are ton's of CSS page layout example out there that you could use for lay outing your page..

If you follow this tutorial: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatuto...torial0801.htm it should give you a rough idea about your layout with floats...

Re: Big white space

This code is making the leftside div 1000+ pixels wide:
Code: Select all
href="http://feed2js.org//feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsrss.bbc.co.uk%2Frss%2Fnewsonline_uk_edition%2Fhealth%2Frss.xml&chan=title&num=4&html=y">View RSS feed
If you delete that code from the leftside div, all content aligns itself perfectly.

I don't know if that's some type of left over code from something else, but I'm sure you can figure that out!

Not sure how to fix that link but at least you know what is causing the problem!
