Hi all, I have put together our own web site, its only small so I
decided after reading up on CSS web design to do the site myself.
The site looks good in IE7 but when you use IE6 the green and red box
buttons on the right shift down to the bottom of the page instead of
being at the right. Also, in Safari the web site appears ro move down
by an inch which results in the horizontal tiled background being out
of place with the rest of the site.
If anyone has any pointers or suggestions I would appreciate it. http://www.neighbourhoodcomputers.com/
Many thanks for your time

This is probably due to your attempt at exact pixel sizing. That never
works. See: http://allmyfaqs.net/faq.pl?AnySizeDesign

There are other problems as well: http://k75s.home.att.net/show/neighborhood.jpg
In the Firefox Web Developers Toolbar/edit CSS, I see some weird
characters at the beginning of your CSS that affect my display (removing
body settings), but they don't seem to be in your CSS file. I don't see
this at any other sites. http://k75s.home.att.net/show/neighborhoodcss.jpg
"font-size: small" may work for your eyes, but not for mine. Use
percentages instead, and default to 100%. See this page and also note
the section on Verdana: http://k75s.home.att.net/fontsize.html
These are new pages, you say. New pages should use a Strict doctype as
you aren't Transitioning from anything. Also, best to eschew XHTML and
use HTML 4.01 Strict (for the oft-mentioned reasons).
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
Hope this gets you started.

#header h1, #main-image h1 { margin: 0; }
See CSS 2.1 spec re "margin collapsing" (which I've heard IE7 gets
wrong, which might explain why your page "works" in IE7). This should
get things lined up with the background image in Safari.
Thanks both for your commentrs - I will implement those suggestions
and re-test.
Thanks for your time
Lee

This three-column layout is busted in Safari. It's built with a fixed-width container, with three percentage-based columns inside.

The box-model hack is present to ensure that the columns display correctly in IE.

The idea of this is very simle. The site is 800px wide and sits in the
middle of the browser window, on either side of the site I want a different

Hi,
I'm new to this group, but in need of some help with a css based two
column layout.
The layout consists of a short left nav and a content section. The
problem is that in IE, the content is shifted approx. 2 pixels to the
right where the left nav floats next to it. This shouldn't be and
isn't in FF.

How do you provide a consistent gradient fill as a background in a
liquid layout?
If I make a gradient fill image say 1000 pixels wide (and repeat it down
the page) to suit a typical computer display, then only a small portion
of the gradient will show if the viewpoint is a smaller PDA or phone
display.
On the other hand, if viewed full screen on a 1920 pixel wide display, I
would run out of gradient on one or both sides of the page....
