Hi yet again,
first can I say a big load of thanks to everyone who's replyed to my posts
so far, I *think* this should be the last.
I've got the page looking practically perfect in FF but in IE the leftcell
div covers part of the maincontent div. I tried margin-left:-255px; and this
fixs it for IE but in FF the div disapears of the page.
So,
a) is there something i've missed with the posistioning of the leftcell div
?
or
b) is there someway of making FF ignore the margin-left selector in the
style sheet?
TIA
Paul

Paul, this is not a FF problem, it's a MSIE problem, since it looks just
fine in Opera as well. If you must hack, hack it for MSIE, not FF.

Hi Grey,
Why cant everyone use firefox??
Is there a hack that will allow me have a statement in the stylesheet that
all other browsers will ignore and only be visible for MSIE? All I need is a
margin-left:-255px statement and all my worries will be gone.
cheers
Paul

Because some of us use Opera :P

Look up "MSIE conditional comments" and serve MSIE an additional
stylesheet.

you can write rules like this:
* html .foo
{ margin-left:-255px;
}
IE is the only browser that thinks there is an element above html when it
looks at css rules, so you can use it for stuff you only want IE to use.

Sounds like something I've seen before. Try something like:
* HTML #maincontent { margin-left: -255px; }
It's a hack, and it won't work in IE 7. (But perhaps the big won't appear
in IE 7 anyway? One can but hope.)

Got it sorted. I used the "underscore" hack in the end. _margin-left:-255px;
did the trick
Thanks to all who helped!

You already used your last question in an earlier post. Sorry.
I obey no mans rules, not even my own :p dw************@gmail.com wrote: ie measures the box model differently than the others do.
Um, IE6 in standards mode uses the same W3C-standard box model other
browsers do.
You shouldn't be using quirks mode anyway, which does use the IE5x box
model.
