layout problem in IE

[r.emmerink]

Hi,

Concerning the page: http://www.vrijgezellenfeest.nl/cms/problem.htm

Here in Firefox the page shows like I want it to be.
In IE 6, there is a repeated table header background of the table that
is in the right column.
I've got no idea why IE shows this repeated below the object manager.
Please let me know if you know what went wrong or when you might have a
solution to the problem.

Much thanks in advance,

Roderik

Roderik,

Very strange. Looks like some sort of IE bug.

Suggestion: Change the DOCTYPE from Transitional to Strict (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/...#version-info). That may
help.

And then run it through the validator at http://validator.w3.org/. You
have some xhtml stuff mixed in with your HTML, which isn't going to help
things.

I presume you are expecting the rightmost column of "artikel overzicht"
to shrink down to the image's size.
It looks like IE is setting that column's width to be the same is the
one to its left, rather than having anything to do with the <th>.
Try:
1. Using a <colgroup> to set the widths for the columns
2. Create a class just for that <td> to set its width

Why are you using HTML 4.01 Transitional? What are you transitioning
from? Transitional was meant as an intermediate step from pre-v4 pages.
Use HTML 4.01 Strict. It also has the advantage that rendering is most
uniform across browsers.
