    IE is breaking the CSS I made.

    The first who posts in this thread the solution will win and I will send $20 to and get a link here.

    Here are the files:

    My after.css did not work in IE and I don't know why. Please fix and give a css file that works both in FF and IE.

    Thanks.

    Jim,

    Could you describe the problem a little more by pointing out a few issues that IE is having with the CSS you made? I see spacing issues, is that it?

    You can't scroll ...

    I am also trying to solve it. I removed position: relative; from .content1 and .content2 and then you could scroll but you got some more fuck ups ....

    Can you solve it?! :D

    Maybe I just clicked too late, this page allows scrolling in both FF and IE7..

    Oh ... but not in IE 6 which is the IE browser that I have. The stupid problem is that so many are using IE 6 so it has to be fixed somehow.

    Oops. I'm wondering if I could run both IE6 and IE7 on the same puter since they look like completely separate browsers. Since I upgraded to IE7 I am no longer able to check on what's going on the older version. Question for you: is the IE6 issue that bad or do you think users can live with it? If you believe they can, you'd better save your money and nerves, and wait for the world to bin the old IE6 and get their latest "fantastic" release that will end ya problem. Scrolling is OK with my Opera 9.1..

    I know, that sounds kind of "I can't do it, but we don't need it anyway" but well.. IE6 has gone with the upgrade, sorry..

    Ok. The problem is crashing the site as the visitors can't scroll to continue read but this version is not live.

    I'm remaking the whole site at the moment with an alternative solution.

    For the page not scrolling its because you have everything set as "position: relative;"

    If you take out all occurrences of "position: relative" most of the page will function including being able to scroll in IE 6.

    However, after looking through this the XHTML/CSS markup is really bad. There is all sorts of weird markup that doesn't need to be in there and could be breaking the site..

    I would suggest finding someone to modify the original base template/design instead of trying to go at it solo. If you posted it someone could probably make the changes you need in a very short amount of code versus what you have.

    cheers
