Hello,
Well, after almost completing my very first real CSS-only design, I'm
just trying to iron out the last problems. You can see a mock-up of the
page at http://www.kidsinaction.org.uk/freds/freds-css.html
All HTML and CSS validate without warning. If you use FF (I have 1.0.7)
or IE6, it looks fine (from a technical point of view - you might not
like my design!!), but in Opera and IE5, it does not look how I
expected.
In Opera 8.53, the top div (#header) does not reach the top of the
window, leaving a green band across the top of the page. I have set the
margin and padding for both html and body to zero, and the #header div
has margins of zero as well, so I can't see where this gap comes from.
In IE5, the header part is fine, but the main content div (#main) is
lower down the page than I intended. In FF and IE6, the top of the #main
div is right below the search box, whereas in IE5 it moves further down.
This is not a huge problem, but I would like to remove the extra space
if I can.
Any ideas what I have done wrong, or what browser issues I may have hit?
More to the point, what can I do to work around them?
TIA

I duplicate the problem with Opera 8 -- but the cure seems to be to
download Opera 9 (beta) which is now my everyday browser -- the problem
is NOT to be seen in that. Can't help with IE5, I'm happy to say!

Well, I found the problem here. Due tothe fact that this page will
eventually be part of an ASP.NET site, I had added a <form> tag that
enclosed pretty much the whole content of the <body>. I discovered that
Opera adds a margin to a ,form> and that was what was creating the gap.
I just changed the first CSS bit to...
html, body, form {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
and it fixed it.
Any help on the IE5 problem would be appreciated.

As I posted afterwards, the Opera problem turned out to be a margin on
the <form> element. That was easy to fix!!
It would be nice to ignore an issue in one version of a browser and just
assume that people will download the latest version, but the real world
doesn't work that way. As it happened, the problem here was a simple
oversight by me, based on a perfectly reasonable default setting for a
margin that seems to be unique to Opera (up to version 8 at least). Had
this been a more insidious problem, I could not have simply ignored it
and expected people to use a later version.
Can't help with IE5, I'm happy to say!
I'm not happy about it. No, I don't use IE5, but some people still do.
Thanks anyway.

I haven't installed IE5 on this computer, so can't check it myself.
However are you aware of the old Internet Explorer box model and the
Tantek hack used to copy with IE5 foibles? If not, you could do a web
search on them.
Having said that, I think that IE5 can now be considered an old (not to
mention broken) browser, and the number of users is decreasing quite
fast. Pages still need to be readable in IE5, but if they are
cosmetically a bit less attractive I would suggest that really doesn't
matter much any more.

Thanks. I was sure it was some sort of IE5 bug, but without knowing
which one, it was hard to track down. Now I have some words to use for a
search, I should be able to track this one down.

Probably. I guess it depends on how complex the hack is. The problem
isn't very serious, so if it's going to involve anything complex to fix
it, I won't bother. If it's simple, I might as well.
Thanks for the reply.
