Looks fine in IE7 and FF3, weird in IE6

Jan 23.2009

Hello all,

I have noticed that this is asked in other cases, but couldn’t apply the suggestions there to my case.

I tried validating the HTML and CSS, but failed to make sense of the outcome, since I do not have extensive knowledge of both.

I have helped a friend to match a wordpress website to the design he drafted on paper, I modified the CSS to try to match the looks in the browser to the one he sketched. I more or less succeeded, with one exception, the site looks weird in IE6, but fine in IE7 and FF3.

I very much think that the CSS I’ve played around is bloaty, I merely hacked and plundered through the css to make things look like I want. I am a beginner, so please don’t hit me in the head too hard 😮 I’d really appreciate any help that will fix this issue.

I’m not asking anyone to work instead of me, I just hope that some of you have experience enough to see the problem with a glance.

I’ve attached how it looks like on ie6 and ie7

Thanks for your time

@CoyotelabJan 23.2009 — get rid of margins use padding instead just for IE 6 (double margin issue)

can be done:
[code=html]<!--[if IE 6]>
Special instructions for IE 6 here
<![endif]-->[/code]

or inline hack
[CODE]
#sidebar-1 {
color:#5F5950;
font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:11px;
font-weight:bold;
_margin:0 0 0 0;
padding:5px 20px 0 0;}[/CODE]

thanks for your response Coyotelab, however I could not fix it with the suggested change. Did you mean to change the pageleft and pageright classes because thats where the borders are bad

Nice layout, but you've really messed it up. W3C-Validator recognizes 'some' errors. And it's not because of the wordpress-template. No idea if somebody here will be able to fix it 'with a glance' unless you care for a valide markup.

Success!
