 Internet Explorer Problems
I've been coding a couple of layouts, but i have a problem with IE6 which has really been bugging me.
When i add in a new div and position it, in Firefox it looks exactly how it should do, but with the IE6 browser, it leaves a lot of space at the bottom.
Sorry i can't be more descriptive, and i can't post a screenshot or upload it because i don't think the owner of the layout wants me to. If someone could add me to msn or maybe suggest something here would be great.
Thanks.

@spawny: sorry for hi-jacking your thread, but i also have this weird problem with ie6 concerning 3 column fluid layout.
it renders properly on all browsers exept ie6. the third column slips down below the mid column (but still in it's proper column). BUT when i drop the DOCTYPE declaration, everything's fixed.
can someone please tell me what to do with it.
thanks for any help!

@wemasterneo, try giving your main id a width, something like width:646px or whatever you like.
@spawny, can you post your code or a link?

Here is the example, i can't post the layout as the owner doesn't want me to. But i think this explains it fairly well.

Can you please make an example of what code you are using (just the structure for the HTML and the code used to position the elements). From there, I would be glad to help.

Sure ...
Code:
#container {
background-color: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 700px;
height: 700px;
}
/***********************/
/****** right bar ******/
/***********************/
#rightbar {
width: 434px;
height: 556px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
position: relative;
top: -556px;
left: 242px;
}
#leftbar {
width: 244px;
height: 556px;
background-color: #EFEEF6;
position: relative;
top: -45px;
left: 5px;
}
And the html for the right hand side is:
HTML Code:
<div id="rightbar">
<div id="banner">
</div>
</div>
All the right hand side content will got in the "rightbar". If you need anything else about it i'll be glad to provide it.
