Webmaster Forum / HTML, CSS, Scripts / CSS / September 2007ie6 float issue driving me crazy
Hi all. Any advice appreciated - I'm floating an image right and the text to the left of the image is being forced down about 5px from the top of the containing area. You can see the issue here: http://www.cbcgroup.com.au/drupal. No issues in ie7 or Firefox - can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks. > Any advice appreciated - I'm floating an image right and the text to > the left of the image is being forced down about 5px from the top of [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > No issues in ie7 or Firefox - can someone tell me what I'm doing > wrong? Perhaps fixing errors would help. It appears you are using an underscore to comment out changes in the CSS. That's an error; use real CSS comment markers: /* this is a comment */ <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css2&warning=2&uri=http%3A% 2F%2Fwww.cbcgroup.com.au%2Fdrupal%2F> Fixing these may help as well. <http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cbcgroup.com.au%2Fd rupal%2F> "This page is not Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict!

So what? A couple of pixels. img {vertical align: bottom:} perhaps? > No issues in ie7 or Firefox - can someone tell me what I'm doing > wrong? You are using stupidly small font sizes. I tried to find the font size you are using using firebug but your CSS is just so way over the top bloated that I gave up. What is it with this reset.css and all the others? You are worring about pixel perfect positioning. You have a fixed width page that will never exactly fit in *my* browser canvas. You are wasting a huge amount of vertical pixels in a picture of some sort of building at the top of your page. To what effect? Does it impress me? No. You have failed to gain my attention within the 10 second timespan you have. Just another one of *those* sites.

I'm entitled to my opinion and that page simply did not grab me. Being in alt.html.critique I actually looked at it for over a minute trying to find out what the company actually does, to no avail. Now, piss off, bitch and stop whining. SignatureRichard. > >> You have failed to gain my attention within the 10 second timespan you > >> have.

It looks bad to act like a pompous sh.t all the time, to treat your expertise as a license to crap on others. Try to behave yourself. An interesting use of the word "entitled" here, you really do see the payoff for you as being dumping on your fellow earthlings. You must have other ways to get your kicks. No? What a shame. You would really think that a couple of residents of a small country like this one could at least get on, but you have proved to be such a waspish w.nker, ready to fly off the handle, misinterpret so much, fail to read between lines, unable to take some mildly meant jocular references and the list goes on. You are what my old pa used to call a "sh.t of the First Waters". I have never really understood this phrase... ah ... what's the use of chatting to you... Now, go find a hill and ski down it, it does not matter that there is no snow, try to adapt and ski down it anyway. (I know some bits at the cliff edges near Coogee that are a bit downhill that might suit. Want some jpgs to help you locate them?)

You can see the issue here: http://www.cbcgroup.com.au/drupal. What image? Which text? As a debugging tool add borders to the various parts so you can see where they are laying out. Or get one of the development add-ons for Firefox. BTW: What does CBC do? Nowhere does the home page mention its product or service. I am guessing building construction of some sort but there is no indication of what type (home? skyscraper? bridges? remodeling?).

You may see this yourself if you enlarge the font size in FF, on say the "current projects" page. SignatureBen. > Hi all. > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > No issues in ie7 or Firefox - can someone tell me what I'm doing > wrong? You have a "Collapsing Margins" occurrence, causing the extra white space, below the horizontal red line. It may be possible to locate the cause, but it's not worthwhile. The reason is embedded somewhere among the numerous and superfluous divs you use to create vertical space. Many, many, in fact most of the divs should be removed from your markup, the page simplified and in other words completely redone, IMHO. I will give you an instance of the image of a man wrapped in a div which is not necessary. Simply use the image and float it left and the subsequent text <h1> and <p> will all flow around the image. (Wrap the whole thing in a single div wrapper.) The second instance is that of the patio image floated to the right this time and the <h1>, <h2> and the following text will all flow around this image as well. Also lose the <ul> which you use simply to create vertical space. (Again, wrap this complete section in another Div wrapper.) On the right side your "Latest News & Events" should have only a div wrapper without the other divs and again a <ul> for vertical spacing. On the bottom right side you don't need a div - at most a div wrapper (if at all necessary). The bottom line is to use the KISS principle and use a 2-column method, eh?
