    Strange large space in IE

    I haven't been able to find a solution to this mysterious large space in
    IE6Win for this page:


    There is a large blank space in the main box, between the 3 icons
    (Published, Waiting for Aproval, Need Edit) and the table that lists the
    products. It only happens in IE. (Please don't worry if images don't load,
    I removed them).

    Have you seen this before? What's the trick?

    There's something generally weird, the vertical borders are broken, it
    probably has s.th. todo with your space.
    Validate the page first, maybe then it's easier to find a solution.

      You should validate your page and fix any errors before asking for
      help:

      IE has many, many problems with the CSS box model and with floats.
      There's too much going on to narrow it down to one particular bug but
      the cause is the style
      #prodlist { WIDTH: 100%;}
      Remove the width: 100% and IE behaves.

        Whoops! Sorry, actually the original page here on my computer had 4 error
        (4 IDs repeated), then I saved the page with IE to send it as is to the
        server and IE re-wrote a whole bunch of invalid stuff :( Good to know
        anyway...

        Thanks! It fixed it, actually setting to 99% works fine, one more box
        problem...
