Layout in IE6

[ariana]

Hi,
I'm having a layout issue with my website in IE6. It is fine is IE7, FF, Safari & Opera. I'm tearing my hair out with this one, i wonder can anyone seeing something in the html/css which i am over-looking ?

You need to tell us the exact problem you are having as it looks ok to me in ie6

your problem is with 'haslayout'.

look it up.

to close elements in ie6 that are floated, without haslayout, consider:

<div>
 <div class="floated">text</div>
 <div class="floated">text</div>
 <div class="floated">text</div>
 <div style="clear:both;"></div>
</div>

ensures that the outer div expands around the floated divs, and not cuts off inside. however, this constructional markup is frowned upon and better css can be used.

also, you could use the developers toolbar for ie and the firebug plugin for firefox to narrow down these problems.

some of the problems you ahve in the page, are actually due to internet explorers misinterpretation of the box model.

good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm being told by people using it that the product images are appearing over-lapping the text.

When i try to load it in IE6 myself here, IE crashes.

its not crashing for me, but the layout looks awful.

Yep it's trashed in IE6 for sure. A lot of it is overlaying and cramped up.
99.99% sure to be a width problem for starters. Reduce the central areas width. Better still while trying to solve the riddle, increase the overall width of the site until it lays out correct, this will give you a clue on what is pushing what out and by how much.

I read up on haslayout and seemed to have fixed the problems, CSS isn't my forte but it seems to have worked

Thanks for all your responses.
