    Internet Explorer 6 page layout wrong

    Uploaded new V8 site using executive theme but product pages on IE 6 drop below level of left hand column making it look as if the page is empty.

    Works fine on IE 7 but 40% of my traffic still comes from IE 6.

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong.

    Thank you

    They are too wide for the area you have given them to work in, so they are forced to move into the next available space. Check your sizes and what you are putting in them, to make sure you are not trying to put something 550 wide into something 500 wide.

      get rid of the spaming text you have at the bottom of the page too, it will do you more harm than good

        Your competitors will also report you to google for SPAM if they have not done so already

          Thank you for your help, I think my images are too big.

          Thank you also for the spam warning, have removed text at bottom of page.

          Cannot afford to fall out with Google these days.

            i'm not attacking your page, honest, but...


            why so many image maps? webbots are quite bad, imho.

            i can see you used frontpage for your design, but do you realise the amount of markup it inserts?

            your page could be a quarter of the size, and load faster with these millions of maps on every image replaced with the basic img tag.

            for example:
            HTML Code:
            <!--webbot bot="ImageMap" rectangle="(2,1) (79,77) http://www.gretnagreenweddingring.com/acatalog/engagement_ring_catalogue.html" src="images/engagementcat07_1.jpg" alt="Free engagement ring catalogue" border="0" startspan -->
            <MAP NAME="FrontPageMap12">
            <AREA SHAPE="RECT" COORDS="2, 1, 79, 77" HREF="http://www.gretnagreenweddingring.com/acatalog/engagement_ring_catalogue.html">
            </MAP>
            <a href="_vti_bin/shtml.exe/index.html/map12">
            <img ismap usemap="#FrontPageMap12" border="0" height="78" alt="Free engagement ring catalogue" src="images/engagementcat07_1.jpg" width="80">
            </a>
            <!--webbot bot="ImageMap" endspan i-checksum="62693" -->
            could simply be this:
            HTML Code:
            <a href="engagement_ring_catalogue.html">
            <img border="0" height="78" alt="Free engagement ring catalogue" src="engagementcat07_1.jpg" width="80">
            </a>

              Thank you, I did not realise how much code Front Page added.

                I would move the homepage into actinic which would make it alot easier to manage and get rid of the frontpage crap
