    Hey guys,

    I made a template for a client. Recently, they told me that it was messed up on IE6 and IE7. I took a look, and it's really bad. I have no clue what's wrong, so if anybody can help me out, I'd gladly appreciate it:

    It should look like:

    It looks like this in IE6 + IE7:

    Check your CSS, IE isn't reading it properly. In this case, i would make 2 stylesheets, one for every normal browser, and one for IE, and modify it by playing around, to see what IE is reading properly and what its refusing to read because of its retarded existence.

    use table for each and every part of your website.....

    use 100%width and 100% height of yr table...

    if u don't than download some ready made template .....and open it...and than check that temlate with ie <8.....ok ????

    That's my client asking the same question.

    No, tables cause more bad than good.

    ok, this is a common problem, if you're going to have divs floating left right, this way adn that, earlier ie hates this, try dividing your header and whatever else in to seperate columns, having their sum total width equal the total width of their container div, float all of them in the same direction (Left.)

    under the search box could be -lineheight, or... probably lineheight, setting this to 1em or .9em should be good. it could be the height of the div as well.

    As for your navbar, you may want to declare it's display as INLINE... it looks like it may have inheirited a block display from further up in your hierarchy.
