two IE problems... I'll donate $ for help!!

Thanks to this forum i ficed my last issue, but IE is still fuckin with me.

Unfortunately, I'm on a mac, I can't develope for IE because I don't have IE immediately available.

The site is
http://www.thepetnurse.net

CSS:

Works great on FF in windows now, but in IE there is a small gap where there shouldn't be, and the entire content box is smashed together.

I'll donate $10 or more if someone can help me :D

Thanks!!

The first issue is with the way that IE handles spaces in its HTML in regards to images.  My suggestion is to hand edit your HTML so that your first two divs and images have no spaces what so ever.  It may not be readable, but it will fix the issue.

Also, I noticed a ton of extra tags - font tags which are deprecated - a lot of divs, etc.  Not that all are needed.  ( don't use tables tho - so thats good!)

Its making it hard to figure out exactly what the issue is.  I think it has to do with IE's mishandling of the absolute and relative positioning you're using.

This is what I'd do:

<top div with image></div>
<content div with background image>
<div left float left width 150px or whatever><links and junk ></div>
<div right float left width 500px or whatever - padding 5px background grey border on there>
all your content
</div>
</end content div>
<footdr div if needed give 'clear' with css>


Just my 2cents.

Is there a way where I don't have to re-code the whole damn thing? I have a lot of other work today :/

Well the first thing is - I'd try removing the spaces to see if the blank line will go away.

The next thing I'd do - if I didn't want to reprogram it more compliantly, I'd start looking at each of my ID's in my stylesheet, put a border of 1px solid #000000 on each (so you can see them) and experiment with the heights of them.  THen, you'll get an idea of what IE is doing with each one of them.

Good luck :)

I'd love to do that, but as I said, I'm on my Mac, no windows computers around atm. :(

I fail :/

Oh woops - didn't catch that - hahah.  Sorry!

My guess - without actually doing the editing myself - as I'm lazy ;) - is to put 100% height on your content divs.  Just an idea.

No vms or wine available? ;)

Thanks to aaron_s, he helped me get it all fixed.

Why did you quote me? All you added was "great day to you all" in the body...WTF?
