IE6 ignores width?

    Hi,

    I've a strange problem, page renders fine in Opera 9.5, Firefox 3, IE7 but not IE6.

    Here's code:

    #menuleft {

	position:absolute;
	left:-179px;
	top:70px;
	width:145px;
	height:260px;
	border-bottom:solid 1px #ddd;
	background:#f7f7f7;
	padding:8px 10px 10px 9px;

}
    Code (markup):
    When viewing via IE6, that menu size becomes like half screen and covers all the elements (content).

    If I make it width:auto; other browsers starts to do the same as well (just though to let you know). Any ideas on this? Can't provide url, sorry.

    That's not enough info to do more than guess at a solution.

    Make a minimal test case—a small page that illustrates the issue. Use dummy content if proprietary data must not be shown. Post the code.

    cheers,

    So far the only fix is to remove background color and use iamge instead with no repeat. However, height is messed up well.

    Will try that.
