IE6 giving me grief. Buggers up column widths.

1 New Member
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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.  #content {
  2.     width:270px;
  3.     height:615px;
  4.     background:#6a5126;
  5.     float:right;
  6.     margin: 0 5px 0 5px;
  7.     padding: 18px 18px 18px 18px;
  8.     display: inline;
  9.     }
  10.  
I've also just added the display: inline; code to the other two column divs in my layout in the hopes that this will make a difference.

I've also tried adding a conditional comment to my page as follows:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1.     <!--[if IE]>
  2.     <style type="text/css">
  3.     #content {
  4.     width:260px;
  5.     height:600px;
  6.     }
  7.     </style>
  8.     <![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! I'm new to CSS and have Googled this problem to death. Any help is graciously received.

Thanks so much!

I seem to having a little trouble getting a table to display correctly in both msie and firefox. I want to set the table and column widths in pixels, and have some cell padding too. The table displays correctly in standards compiance mode in firefox, but not msie, where the padding is added on to the column widths. the table size is always correct, but the column widths are not what I expect them to be. If I change the column widths to...

I have a subform that displays a datasheet. There are a couple of different queries that can be displayed in the datasheet. The queries are available in a combo box on the main form. The problem I am having is that when I change the query all the column widths remain the same. This doesn't look very good. I can't figure out a way to set the column widths. I have tried.. Subform.controls(Name of Column).columnwidth = IntColumnWidth

Hi, I am working on an existing code base in which a lot of data displayed to the user is formatted in tables. Most tables are printed row-by-row using printf() with "%s" print conversion specification for each column (e.g. printf(%10s %25s %15s\n", pszCol1, pszCol2, pszCol3)). My problem is that when a string is longer the column's width, it overflows the column and takes the table out of alignment. What I want it to do is word-wrap...

I am using a table with no column widths specified, letting the table layout manager do its thing for figuring out the column widths, and this works just fine. Now I want to make the table dynamic. I have added a filtering mechanism (in javascript) that can be used to hide unneeded rows. However, each time I hide or show rows, the column sizes change, and this doesn't look good. Is there a way that I can preserve the column widths...

I'm setting the column with for a gridview (25+- columns) and have paging turned on. When the gridview is first displayed, the column widths are all set to the default. But after paging to another page, the widths are set as they should be. Going back to page one, the widths are still correct. Not a clue what's going on here!

Hi. I have an Access database with a form containing 4 datasheets and I allow the user to change column widths. On closing the form, a routine is fired that saves each column width to an INI file. When the form is opened, the INI file is read and sets up the column widths for the user. Works well, but there is a slight delay on closing the form, so I would like to detect if any column widths have been changed and save them only if...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
