I am about to loose my patience with my layout in IE
I have spent the good part of 6 hours trying to figure out why my layout is got weird widths to it in some places (only in IE 6). Could someone please take a look at it and see if anything pops out at you. I am trying to design a more pleasing layout for a Miva Merchant store, but it has been a headache. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks!

Re: I am about to loose my patience with my layout in IE
I'm sure this might be the last thing you want to read, but you might struggle for many more hours until you correct all the site errors. If you achieve validation, you'll have much more control over your cross-browser results.
Your validation results

Re: I am about to loose my patience with my layout in IE
I can't tell you how to fix the problem, sorry -- I just don't code using tables and it's too hard for me to follow.
I can, however, give you some hints on getting started at building cross-browser: 1) Take out all the padding, margins, and borders. 2) Keep the file loaded in both IE and FF, and everytime you change something, save it and refresh both browsers. Of course it's a big headache -- that's why we earn the big bucks

Re: I am about to loose my patience with my layout in IE
You guys are right, I need to validate my code. All the tables, though were generated by "Miva Merchant". I would have rather made the whole thing using CSS if I had the choice.
I did however a suggestion from another site that saved my bacon, and it really was a "duh" moment on my part. I changed my doctype to "strict" and most of my cros-browser issues went away. I can't believe I forgot this! Thanks!

Re: I am about to loose my patience with my layout in IE
Haha, I was working and this dawned on me, I came to the forum to suggest you do just that. Try this one:
