DIV and Browser Compatibility

[jbtman]

I am having an issue with a site displaying in IE6 and IE7. All is fine in 7 but things are out of align in 6. I have the following Div setup:

Wrapper (894px)
leftcol (202px)

lefcol
content (692px)
advert (380px)

advert
remainder (312px)

remainder
content
Wrapper
Footer
Footer

How do I make it look the same in IE6? The remainder div drops down pushing the footer out. Forgive me as I am still learning this css stuff! Thanks!!

Make sure your markup validates first. That's the first step when things "aren't right" - but should be.

Markup validator -

http://validator.w3.org/

CSS validator -

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

If that validates, then you might find it easier to provide a link to your page so we can take a direct look at the code.

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

look up "faulty box model"

with IE6

380 + 312 != 692 and 202 + 692 != 894

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

The CSS seems to validate fine (a couple of warnings) but it won't do the markup. Probably because it is ASPX with master pages.

You can and should still produce valid HTML pages regardless of which server-side language you use. I know in this case (i.e. using ASP.NET regardless of whether you are using Master Pages) there is no reason why you can't. Ask in the ASP.NET forum if you have any specific problems with this.
