Angry [SOLVED] IE6 issue - help required

I have developed a site for a client that is okay in safari, IE7 and Firefox but in IE6 on all bar the home page there is a large white space appearing on the right hand side.

Unfortunatley most of my clients customers will be using IE6 so I need to get this fixed.

Please can someone have a look and let me know if they can help?

yours pleadingly

Scott

Re: IE6 issue - help required

If you look at you margin and padding on your main container div then you will see the issue (see attached).

Although modern browsers won't render this, IE6 is a moany old git and insist's on rendering it.

To get around this you will need to supply a IE6 only style sheet.

You can also use multiple IE for your testing.

They are the same as your normal style sheet, but by putting it into conditional comments it will only be read by IE6. You can therefore re-set the widths etc so that it looks ok in IE.

give it a go and if you get stuck just come on back and we can help out.
