    Really?? I've checked in both IE 6 and 7.

    Please look at it on an actual page:
    http://granthansen.com/bg_test.html

    Do you see the red square on the second style?

    I found this article that explains IE doesn't handle positioning well for non-block items:

    Thanks!

    inline background image in IE

    OK, so here's a new one for the group...

    I have the two following classes:

    .ratings_link {
    display: block;
    background: #ffeec1 url(image.gif) no-repeat center right;
    font: bold Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #176fcc;
    text-decoration: none;
    margin-top: 3px;

    replied to a:link doesn't work correctly in IE6
    I think what's happening here is that, since you've already been to the link, what you now see is the visited state. Make sure you put in the visited state as part of the styles, and that should fix the problem.

    Put them in the LVHA order: link, visited, hover, active = Love Hate :-)

    getting columns to expand 100%

    Hi, I'm back with an almost finished template that is pretty accessible :-)

    My only woe at this point is to get all three columns (leftcol, midcol, rightcol) to expand vertically 100%. As you can see from the code I tried some hacks, but that hasn't worked. My main priority is the right column. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!!!

  • I agree with drhowardrfine ... Most clients I know do not have their windows maximized. Plus, wider doesn't always mean better. When reading, the eye can only go so far left to right before getting fatigued or lost, so content shouldn't be in any columns that are excessively wide. Design should be functional and reflect the content/purpose of the site.

  • Take a look at the changes I made and let me know if that helps ...

    I increased the width of your wrapper to allow for the borders ... if you truly want something 818px wide and have 20px wide borders, it's actually 858px wide.

    I took out any classes in the HTML that I didn't see styles for.

    If you want the first and last menu items to be closer to the outside of the wrapper, you can a) increase the margin...

    Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. You were emailed a logo, yes? Did you save the logo in a directory to be used for your site?

  • You need a # before your background color; for instance,

    black is #000000, not 000000

    Just another update ... still working on getting all three columns 100% high ... had some success with making one dependent on another, but not all three are gelling. I'll keep at it.

    This can be done in CSS ... basically, you can mimic the behavior of a drop down navigation ... check out how the right nav works on this site:

    http://alanschindler.c om/

    Basically, the "main nav" is a list ... the "sub nav" has a default position of, say, left -2000px ... then on hover it's positioned, say, left 400px ... so it's "invisible" until rolled over.

    Make sure you...

    replied to Image with footer link problem
    Are you asking to somehow turn off the link on the text while NOT updating the HTML code? Local styles will over-write an external CSS ...

    Otherwise you can just put the anchor tag around the image:

    <DIV style="width: 100px;">
    <a href="empty.htm l" target="_blank" ><img style="WIDTH: 100px; HEIGHT: 50px" alt="alt text" src="sheet.jpg" ></a><br...

    Closer than ever!

    Instead of having the entire container div positioned 50px from top, I have a div inside each column with a top margin of 50px. Kind of a work-around for my problem.

    Looks great in Firefox and Safari ... with IE the right column isn't being cleared by the footer ... I have to fix that.

    Well, I think I need to step away from this a little while and get some lunch ... I've tried just about every variation and that top position for the container continues to wreak havoc for me ... fun stuff!
