More IE6 FF issues!

Hi Guys

Sorry if this has been asked before, but a search today couldn't find anything that answers the issue :o(

I've re-designed my site using CSS, and it now looks cool, both in FierFox and IE7: www.uk-climbing.co.uk/bouldering/ however when i had a look from work on IE6, the layout is all over the place?!

I've done a search, and found that the issue might be IE6 adding padding defaults. I have since added padding 0px too all the classes, which made it better but there's still the layout issue - home page content and the left-nav.

Has anyone got any ideas what i've done wrong?

Here's the stylesheet: http://www.uk-climbing.co.uk/boulder...tyle/style.css

And am using this doctype (with no white space above):

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

Thanks for all your help!

Re: More IE6 FF issues!

Hmm, well no response today - maybe i didn't ask it right - but will try and battle the issue when i get home from work - and with a bit of luck all will be cool!

I'll let you know as it seems a lot are having similar problems with IE6, but i think it's going to be some sort of default padding that's creeping in...

Have a good one!

Re: More IE6 FF issues!

Hi Lego,

First of all you need to select the right DOCTYPE. You are not using framesets so you need a different type.

Suggest you use at least:
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
but better to get used to using:
Code: Select all
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
as a minimum.

Correct that then lets see where we go.

Hi Geoff

Thanks for that - i've changed the doctype (they always confuse me?) and taken away all default margins and padding - it's fixed some, but not all!

I think it's something to do with the the layout DIVs - will fiddle more!

Hi Moojoo

I wish i saw that before i started out? I'm going to try and fix it, but it might be easier to start at the begginning! Maybe the next iteration...

BTW do you know any way i can see the page in all browser types? I have IE7 at home, so have to come to work to test it on IE6?

Thanks - have a good Friday!

Re: More IE6 FF issues!

Hi Guys

Managed to sort it!

I finally had to resort to making additional style sheets for IE6 and IE5 (didn't bother going below that).

I had to slightly adjust the the positioning of the layout DIVs for each, but still not sure why!

There's still a bug in the top nav in IE5, but it's not critical so not too bothered - i'll wait for some spare time...

Cool, cheers for all the help.

Re: More IE6 FF issues!

My opinion is get it working for IE5.5 and if it's not worth fixing in IE5.01, don't worry about it.
