strange ie6 effect with rollovers and floats

Hello everyone

I am baffled by the behaviour of a webpage that I am trying to design(when
viewed in ie6).

I believe the problem arises when I use floats(at least that is the only
occasion when I notice it).
My page is set up so that I have a content box centered, and a box to create
an interior margin(both divs).
I also want to have a third box which would float to the right. For some
reason, if I have a link within the content box, when I rollover it the
containing box resizes.

I can't find anything to explain this, and I tried searching for various
terms which describe the situation in google in case it was a known bug, but
found nothing. I think it is probably my mistake, though I have tried to
rebuild the page twice to no avail.

I would really appreciate any help on how to fix this, as I have been stuck
with this problem for over a week now.

thanks in advance

I have uploaded the page here so you can see what I mean:

and this is the source code:

<tr>

Firefox and Tim Murtaugh's Mo' Betta Rollovers

I also cross-posted this in comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html. I think it's more appropriate here. I read somewhere that you can get Tim Murtaugh's Mo' Betta Rollovers to work in Firefox using just CSS (no javascript) . Can someone tell me how to do it? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/rollovers/

Hi, I while back I was having a problem with rollovers, even though I do them in a very conventional way: function roll(i) { document.src = eval(i + "_roll.src") } // in which value passed to function is "name" attr in img tag.. but on my home page, www.francesdelrio.com, I have rollovers like this: function doRoll(Img,newImage) {

Rollovers over a hotspot

by: Shahid Juma | last post by:

Hi, Is it possible to do roll overs over an area of an image. I know you can setup up a hotspot but can a roll over be done on that particular hotsop. Additionally, when the image changes on the roll over, can a certain area of this new image be shown instead of the whole one? Thanks, Shahid (remove NOSPAM from the email address when replying to my email address)

strange behavior

by: Marlene Stebbins | last post by:

Something very strange is going on here. I don't know if it's a C problem or an implementation problem. The program reads data from a file and loads it into two arrays. When xy, x, y, *xlist and *ylist are ints or floats there is no apparent problem. If these variables are doubles, the program crashes. Furthermore, the crashes occur only when xlist and ylist are free()ed. When the above variables are doubles and the calls to free() are...

very strange effect with anonymous delegates (.net 2.0)

by: cody | last post by:

I have a very funny/strange effect here. if I let the delegate do "return prop.GetGetMethod().Invoke(info.AudioHeader, null);" then I get wrong results, that is, a wrong method is called and I have no clue why. But if I store the MethodInfo in a local variable I works as expected. I do not understand why this is so, shouldn't both ways be semantically equal?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
