IE Space problem 1

[k4ghg]

Hi - I am redoing my webpage and have received permission to use a CSS layout. Everything seems to work fine in FF, but, when I look at the page in IE 6 I have some problems and was wondering if someone might point me in the right direction.

My main problem is that there is too big of a gap between the first paragraph and the header. My second problem is that in IE a second scroll bar appears on the screen. I think this is because of a hack that I tried to keep my menu fixed.

Here is the page:

Again any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Ronnie

You should begin by making your page validate (

It is no use fixing browser quirks until you have a clean and valid code.

Thanks, I just check the page and it validated. The problem is still there and not it does strange (disappears, jumps around) things to the menu. Thanks again...

Hi Ronnie,

Try this:

.menu {
width: 150px;
margin-top: 25px;
position: absolute;
left: 15px;
}

Also there are some autoflow and z-index lines which should be removed. Or you could set a div called nav with the absolute positioning and put the menu inside it.
