Box model problems
Dec. 15th, 2005 04:02 pmSo, I have a mostly working version of the new puddletown website up at http://www.iagsdc.org/puddletowndancers/
Now, I am a big believer in standards compliance, and putting the content rather than the way the site looks first, but I don't get much practice and all my tools are from the bad old era of using tables for layout so I cobble things together by hand with some help on the typing from DreamweaverMXs clunky CSS tools.
The basic format is the three column layout from Glish and it works on all the browsers on the Mac, and in Firefox on the PC, but in IE on the PC, the center table slides about 100pixels underneath the static column on the right. I can't figure out how to make it stop doing that and I have content that I would like to run over the dark blue in that column below the graphic so it really needs too.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? I suspect there is something large wrong since my text colors are not showing up either, but I don't see anything wrong in the code (things I suspect aren't necessary, yes, wrong, no.) All the sites I have book-marked that talk about three column layouts seem to think ie6 handles them just fine, so I'm really not sure what to direction to go in trouble shooting this. I have a lot to do and this really just needs to be working...
(I'm using the feed from my livejournal till I get this working and make a puddletown account to use with the puddletown site. It is going to hold the weekly "what is happening" e-mails I send to the club.)
