Bug in IE 5.x on Mac

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 30.2004

I’m a newbie, logging in here because I am STUMPED. The layout for my page works it seems in almost everything, including Safari, but it IE5.x on Mac won’t comply. Here is the link and the css link:

[URL=http://www.artbytech.com/testsite/jb/masterStyle.css]http://www.artbytech.com/testsite/jb/masterStyle.css[/URL]

I suspected it had to do with the clear issue, but when I removed that, the floats didn’t work in IE Mac at all. I have assigned widths to every single DIV and I’ve measured to make sure they include border and padding. Any ideas?

Thanks,

@toicontienDec 30.2004 — Could you post a screen shot of IE5-Mac? I don't have a mac available to me, but I've done extensive trouble-shooting in IE5-Mac.

A couple quick notes about bugs.

Internet Explorer 5 Mac inherits the clear property, meaning, all child elements of a parent with clear: both|left|right|none; inherit that property and value. This is irreversible.

Sometimes a float directly containing another float will cause IE5-Mac to grossly miscalculate the width of the parent float. Try adding background colors to your major DIVs to see how IE5-Mac is sizing them.

@gina_bauthorDec 30.2004 — Thanks, but actually unbeknowst to me, a friend figured this out. It was a clear property bug. She created a special class for "clear", removed the clear properties in #subheader and #content and inserted an empty div with the clear class before each of those DIV's. She said it worked, I'm just waiting to hear from client, but if not, I'll post a screen shot.

Thanks for the fast reply!
