IE6 giving me grief. Buggers up column widths. HELP!

[ozzie1234]

I've just created a site which tests perfectly in most browsers except IE6 which ruins the column widths. The third column is pushed below the middle column and I've tried numerous fixes to no avail. The site can be viewed at http://www.clearlygreendesign.com/endcruelty/index.html

The original CSS for the problem div is:

Code: Select all

#content {
width:270px;
height:615px;
background:#6a5126;
float:right;
margin: 0 5px 0 5px;
padding: 18px 18px 18px 18px;
display: inline;
}

I've also tried adding a conditional comment to my page as follows:
<!--[if IE]>
<style type="text/css">
#content {
width:260px;
height:600px;
}
</style>
<![endif]-->

I've never done this before but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this problem? I'm ready to pull out my hair with this IE glitch!

Thanks so much!

It's working for me.

You must have fixed it, it looks fine on my IE6

Thanks for checking for me. I did find the solution by adding "display:inline;" to each of my floated divs. Gad to hear that it does look okay. I'm on a Mac with nothing Microsoft on my machine so I appreciate hearing that it looks fine.

haha true enough but we need M$ and their failures to make everything else that much more enjoyable. Without M$, the good would just seem ok.

Am I the only only dreading the Yahoo take over?

[moojoo]

No but in reality from a tactical stand point it makes sense. M$ needs Yahoo! to compete with Google. Especially if the rumors are true that Apple and Google are joining up. I heard a while back (Haven't researched it further) that Google may be developing the next gen of .Mac etc. And I have seen more and more Google/Apple integration and cooperation.

Not to mention Googles CEO is on Apple Computers board of directors.

And now Google's getting involved (or dragged) into the fight...
