Rendering in most others ok, but IE is giving me a headache
Howdy, Ive run the gammet with this one.. Ive tried everything.. and this has been my one goal for the past 6 days straight.. What am I missing to make this render in IE the way it does in other browsers?
2nd question: how do I make the scroll appear in the scrollbar?
Thank you

The xml encoding line before the doctype throws IE back into quirks mode
2/ make the content larger than the div and use overflow:auto;

sorry, but what do you mean by 'make the content large than the div' ?
I got rid of the quirks code, then added overflow:auto;, pushed up the #nav box only.. uploaded - take a look.

alright, forget - after chatting with some IRC'rs, fixed ain't gonna happen in IE.. maybe IE7 may surprise us.
For now, it's the whole scrolling page effect. Usual CSS style I suppose.. still elegant - alright, time to sleep.
Thanks

What do you check your designs in first IE or firefox/mozila? IE is the browser with the biggest marketshare, I would always design for that browser first.

I agree with Talkfreelance 100%. IE is used dramatically over other browsers (including IE compadable browsers of coarse). If you do not have IE, download it and use it formost for your web development. You lose a lot of visitors without catering to it first.
P.S. When will all of these browsers cooperate with each other with at least JavaScript? Not to mention CSS, HTML, etc... Cross browser development is annoying, but I guess someone has to bee on top, an make the most money (I.E. MSN), but otherwise, it might be NetScape (eeeeek). Sorry for the spazm
Just do what we do, and love it.

I always start with MOZ then Opera last IE... Once you get things straight in MOZ (actually the browser that supports standards is moz)... Then you can hack away with Opera and IE... Thats why itll make your site cross browser compatible, the way all my sites are... (thanks also a lot to CSS)...
