Exclamation Weird extra spacing on ie6

Hi there, thanks for reading.

Please have a look at this page on internet explorer 6 and compare it to any "real" browser

http://countymarquees.co.uk/newsite/portfolio.php

you will notice at the bottom there is extra spacing. any ideas how to fix this?

By the way, if you dont have ie 6, I found a great link to enable you to put multiple versions of explorer on your pc:

I guess no one knows the answer to this. Dont worry I will find a solution somehow. I just wish the browsers all read the html and css the same...

Re: Weird extra spacing on ie6

Did you validate your code. I think you might have an extra closing div in there.
I'd also check the 100% height in the wrapper div. The wrapper div doesn't look like it has anything in it. I don't see anything obvious but a few ideas to play with.

There were a couple of validation errors, but now they are all sorted and theres still a problem. Its the only page affected. Thanks for the advice anyway.

Re: Weird extra spacing on ie6

Is the spacing twice the length of the cubes on either side? If so it happens in Safari on Mac too....

Re: Weird extra spacing on ie6

I don't know but ie6 doesn't render the box model properly and can sometimes doubles the margins on elements in certain situations. To correct the box model the onnly real way to do it nested divs although this isn't ideal. To correct the double margins problem then just diplay: inline; that element. This seems to work but I don't know why.

Don't know if this helps, I'll take a closer look at your code/css tomorrow.

Pete.
