Strange IE6 issue.

Hi,

I seem to be getting a white gap between the header and the content but only in IE6 - IE7 and Firefox seem to be fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Richard

I'd have said the height applied using your block_top class is causing the problem.

However, your XHTML is invalid so the browser has to "interpret" your code and try and guess what you're trying to do (i.e. it tries to work round the mistakes). All sorts of odd things will happen in browsers if you don't write valid (X)HTML. See this URL for the errors:

The same goes for your CSS, which also contains errors:

You may be able to resolve this with a simple hack to your tpl_header.php file.

(The original of this resides in templates/template_default/common/tpl_header.php , so you'll need to make a copy of it, then save it to: templates/YOUR-CUSTOM-TEPLATE/common/tpl_header.php).

Find the following...

<?php } // no HEADER_SALES_TEXT or SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 ?>
</div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
<!--eof-branding display-->

... and try COMMENTING OUT the <br class...> bit...

<?php } // no HEADER_SALES_TEXT or SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 ?>
</div>
<!-- <br class="clearBoth" /> -->
<!--eof-branding display-->

If you use categories-tabs (categories in the header) or banners under the header, this may cause problems. Try it and see if it suits your needs.
