Index + Exhibit

Hi all,

This site: http://www.risdcareers2010.com/project/test3/

I am using a div called "wrapper" to center the content. I am also using a background image in the "body" CSS to make my header image, and in "wrapper" i am giving it a margin to drop everything down so we see the header image:

margin-top: 194px;

This looks great in everything other than IE6, where the right "content" column starts at the very top of the browser, instead of dropping down below my header image. I am going nuts trying to fix it, it is as if the "content" column completely ignores my margin.

I also tried to do the header image as just an tag in the index.php template, and that also worked in everything, but IE6 did the same error, PLUS it moves the "content" coulmn all the way over to the right. The way it is now (using the background) is at least the lesser of two evils.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

oH IE6!!

The first thing I would do is forget that it exsists, If the unhealthy practice of supporting it is in some way essential, It might pay to try putting your margin-top: 194px;
on the #content div.

However I don´t have IE6 or any love for it so who knows if that´ll work.

I left a few links in this thread that you might to take a look at.

Plus IE6 is nearly obsolete.

There's a few scripts that would block users to see your content when using ie6 and suggest to use an alternative...

There's a jquery plugin that crashes IE6. In the developers words: A jQuery plugin for crashing IE6. That'll teach those motherf!%@*#s to upgrade their s#*t.

I completely agree that IE6 is nuts to code for, usually. however there is a big enough percentage of user base that will look at this on IE6 so I need to do my best to make it work.

should i be trying out some stuff in the ie.css file instead of just the style.css file?

yes.
