Problem rendering in IE7 3

[LonnieJohnson]

I have a website that I took over and the footer will not move down in proportion to the size of the body in IE7.

Can anyone give me some suggestions?

These are the two pages that look jacked up.

You don't seem to be dealing with content that doesn't fit in the div , your code is not layed out very nice, so having a aquick look I think it's this line..

#right_content {font-family:tahoma;font-size:9pt;width:530px;background:url(/images/corner.jpg) left top no-repeat;padding:0;margin:0;float:right;text-align:left;[b]overflow:auto;[/b]}

Try adding the overflow:auto; to it as shown

Your problem is as follows. You limit your #content height to 350px. Why? I don't know. So, every browser should obey that height (except for IE6, but that is not the issue here). And every browser should render the page just like IE7 does. However, you seem to try reversing this effect by making the display value of #content be table. Here's the core problem. Tables by default will expand to fit the content (and successfully ignore the height). This is what happens in FF. But IE does not support display table so it reverts it back to block. And block is displayed correctly there.

Your case seems to be fixing one problem by introducing another, more severe one. I would replace the height with min-height and remove the display: table;. That should make it work in IE7 and all modern browsers. You can hack in height to make it work in IE6 as well.

I see what your saying now vragabond, having looked at it in FF.

I assumed, probably wrongly that they wanted the height to be fixed, and thus suggested adding the scroll bars for the overflow.

Good job as usual! have a star.

Mr Vragabond,

You are a king. I am not much on html. I do asp.net programming which is a lot of dropping and dragging of the presentation. I am more into the visual basic code.

Thanks a bunch.
