Horiz. navigation ul problem in IE

Hey everyone.

First the requisite links:

site: http://www.joshrenaud.com/bodies/index.html
css: http://www.joshrenaud.com/bodies/stylesheets/style.css

I have a UL that I'm using for a horizontal navigation bar on a website. It
looks decent in most browsers I've checked, except for IE5.

In IE5, the links break and wrap onto a second line. But the links on the
second line overlap the upper ones.

In what is probably a related problem, I've also noticed that the navigation
bar seems to float up too high, touching the top of the page. Other browsers
(Safari, Netscape, etc) don't do this. The margin isn't set on the nav bar
itself (#MainContent ul#Menu) but on the parent div (#MainContent).

Can anyone suggest solutions to either of these problems (or a solution for
them both?)

Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

--Josh

I read this as selecting the id'ed div if it is a descendant of html
if html is a descendant of any element. But html, being the root
element, is never a descendant of any element.


Oops. That one got right by me. The op's css included a commented link
explaining it; I should have read it before replying. After reading Jim
Dabell's post in this thread, I now see that it is some way to fool some
version of MSIE/Win.

Obviously, that part of my reply about selector weight should only be
considered in light of Neal and Jim Dabell's additions/corrections.

I am having some trouble with some old code revolving around custom form navigation buttons. My main form has a sub-form with these custom navigation buttons. In other words, the code should be modular and work across forms and sub-forms. My previous code was taken from the Access Expert Solutions 97 (Leszynski) many years ago. As my database became more complex with multiple sub-forms and intricate combo boxes, the code faltered. Some...

I don't want to get into a frames discussion here. We all know they have numerous drawbacks, especially with search engine visibility. (Google, ironically, uses framesets for displaying individual news group posts). Despite the trouble they cause, it is still tempting to use frames, occasionally, for instance for machine-generated pages that might have a large number of left-side navigation links. If you do use frames in that...

I am sure I must be missing something about building navigation bars with CSS. Yes it is a very clever and efficient way to format navigation structures on simple one navigation level webs, i.e. six buttons which when clicked go to a separate web page. But here is where I must be missing something, am I right in thinking that if you wish to have nested navigation structures then each individual page of the web site must have a different...

I have a strict doc type: However, I am still unsure about css. Problems I have now are to do with floating both navigation lists. I have used tables and divs, as layouts are just too difficult for me to take on right now, but maybe this is causing problems. The left navigation does not sit right ie flush to the left of the page. The top navigation does not float to the right flush either. I hesitantly post this question as a previous post...

Hello and TIA for your consideration. I have created several db's for a non-profit and they want custom navigation buttons to display "You are on the first record, last record, etc". With this ng help I've created code for all except the add new record command button. If I create individual sub functions behind each form, no problem. The problem is I am trying to create a re-usable module.

Hi there. I have been attempting (for a few days on end, sadly) to get a navigation section of my new site to work. Granted, this is the first time I've ever written CSS...although I had PLENTY of practice using tables...tee hee. Anyways, this should be EXTREMELY simple...as I want NO rollovers, no fancy hovers, no current-page differences...I just want the navigation bar image to be "click-able" where the words are. You can see the...

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