    Default Left column alignment in IE

    Okay, I give up! I need the help of experts

    I have a space under my header, and my left column is moved over my side image.

    Of course it's fine in Firefox, but looks rotten in IE.

    Here's the site: (still in development)

    I've tried changing the pixels, etc. in the wrappers but I cannot get the write combination.

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

    I should add.... I'm using IE6 since IE7 broke a bunch of my other applications! It may work in IE7.

    Default Re: Left column alignment in IE

    I've found out a few things...

    The border and spacing for the left column:

    Spacing: For IE to work I had to increase the width of the column and change the padding from 10 to 1 px. This seemed to help the alignment some. But I still wasn't seeing the black border, it was white.

    Border: If I add a background image to my #navColumnOne, I am able to see the border in IE; but it shows up TWICE in Firefox.

    /*changed padding from 10 to 1 for #navcolumnone Woohoo background image fixed the problem but only in IE, broke it in Firefox background-image: url(/zencart/includes/templates/custom/images/border.gif); */
    #navColumnOne { width: 170px; background-color: #fff ; padding-left: 40px; }


    The border is defined in the Mainwrapper, and it works great in Firefox. But in IE the border.gif doesn't show up where the left column is.

    #contentMainWrapper { background-color: #fff; background-image: url(/zencart/includes/templates/custom/images/border.gif); background-repeat: repeat-y; width: 754px; padding-right: 35px; padding-left: 35px; }

    So I'm not sure where to go now.

    Okay...

    Found out IE can't handle just the "Border.gif" for a background that will have a border on each side of the page.

    Had to separate the image and have a left side border and a right side border.

    What a pain...
