What went wrong in IE6?

password to see the post is password... if there is one.

Anyways, I'm coding this theme and for some reason when I add markup to posts manually, it breaks.

If I put the markup in the actually theme files, it does ok.

Weird.


Any help? would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry for not being specific, I have a problem with IE6. In firefox, all the three columns are presented neatly. But in IE6, the right column suddenly fall down below the adjacent column. Can somebody help me with this?

 

you will most likely need to use a CSS hack, although this practice is frowned upon. Sometimes, due to the nature of browser compatibilities, it is necessary to achieve the same effects across all browsers.

here is an intro to the world of CSS hacks:

and more specifically regarding IE:

This is becuase of a margin error. IE sometimes does something similar to doubling a margin-left/right

for example


#col1
{
blah;
blah;
blah;
margin-left:30px;
}


to fix this for IE you could do this

*html #col1
{
margin-left:15px;
}

But I always include an IE.css when I do this, just copy and paste style.css, then go through it and delete all the parts that say *html

for example you'd remove this whole thing

*html #col1
{
margin-left:15px;
}
