i can't get my information in the footer of this page to the left like it is in IE7 and FF. Why does IE6 center the information in the footer?
i think your footerwrapper isnt declared in your style.css and i saw "</style>" tag at the bottom of your style.css
Yet another double margin thread (YADMT) Add in the bolded statement and it should be good. It's because you're assigning horizontal margins to a floated element, and on IE6 the margin is doubled. The margins are actually coming AFTER this rule, for anyone who's curious.
i took out the style tag and took out my footerwrapper (thanks btw ) as i didn't need it. but the IE6 problem still persists, though. anyone else?
sorry- i just saw soulscratch's thread. that fixed it. do you have a good recommendation for a IE double margin online explanation anywhere on the internet? Thank you again!
There isn't any real explanation to it. It just so happens that is the only property/value combination that fixes it. Piece of shit Trident engine.
Though for future playing with floats you should read this: http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1374925&postcount=15 Soulscratch is right about the double-margin bug. The name says it all. IE6 sees any side margins on the float closest to the edge of its container and doubles them. Display:inline; magically fixes it and what's even dumber is that when something's floated, it becomes display:block anyway, and display:inline cannot override it (which is why none of the other browsers puke when you add that). But there is a whole magical world of IE6 bugs and seriously someone should think of writing a book about them, taking the profits and donating it to helping people all over the world switch to Some Other Browser.
