More Deviant behavior from IE

[mRko81]

This is a new one on me.

when the page loads:
-->

http://81art.com/projects/kramedart/real_estate/

everything falls nicely into place but when i mouse over one over the menu items it throws the whole column out of place.
and it only seems to be happening in IE. go figure. A second pair of eyes on this would be much appreciated.

THANKS

You will be happy to know that in IE7 your page works as well as on FF. Other than that, I would say your design is overly complex. You have a fixed width website, so it should not be a problem simply floating three fixed width columns one next to each other. You, however deal with removed elements (right: 200px on #left), negative margins and paddings and so forth, all of which makes design more complex and more likely to fail across browsers.

I would suggest you either forget about IE6 and only support IE7 or simply simplify the design.

Thanks Vragabond.
Do you know if IE7 was like a mandatory download? or what is the portion of the population that could still be running IE6 and below?

K.I.S.S. ... always seems to be the key.

IE7 is a critical update to IE6 -- every windows update should eventually download and install the new browser. It does require the genuine windows validation passed though.

Of course, there are massive corporate exceptions. I still haven't heard when IE6 will go away at my employer.
