Hi everybody!
I have a problem with IE Mac 5.2, though not with any other Mac Browsers, apparently. And there's the added difficulty that I don't have a Mac to experiment on. So I was hoping some of the cross browser gurus here might have a simple solution...
If you're not on IE Mac 5.2 and want to have a look at the intended design, see
and for a screenshot of the MAC IE 5.2 version:

Here's the main, positioning css -
body { background:#002255; font-family: Verdana, geneva, Arial, sans-serif; /*font-family: Times, palatino, georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif;*/ font-size: 80%; font-weight: normal; margin: 0; padding: 0 0 2em 0; text-align: center; /* needed to center the container in IE5.x because it doesn't like 'margin: 0 auto' */ voice-family: "\"}\""; voice-family:inherit; font-size:small; } html>body {font-size:small;} #mainlayer { width:720px; margin: 10px auto; text-align:left; border:1px solid black; background: url(afoebg.jpg) repeat-y; z-index:1; } #banner{background:url(nafoe.jpg) no-repeat top left; height:200px; z-index:2; } #bottombanner {background:url(nafoebottom.jpg) no-repeat bottom left; height:10px; z-index:2; } #leftcontent { float:left; margin-top:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:14px; padding-top:200px; padding-left:30px; padding-right:20px; width:184px; background:transparent; z-index:3; } #centercontent { width: 426px; padding-top:135px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; padding-left:0px; padding-right:0px; float:left; background: transparent; z-index:3; overflow:hidden; }
And here's the main HTML
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>A Fistful of Euros</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="newstyles.css" type="text/css" /> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function OpenComments (c) { window.open(c, 'comments', 'width=480,height=480,scrollbars=yes,status=yes'); } function OpenTrackback (c) { window.open(c, 'trackback', 'width=480,height=480,scrollbars=yes,status=yes'); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="mainlayer"> <!-- container --> <div id="banner"> <!--mainbg--> <?php include("sidebar.php"); ?> <div id="centercontent"> <div class="blog"> <!-- <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" ... </rdf:RDF> --> <h2 class="date"> January 30, 2004 </h2> <div class="blogbody"> <a name="000302"></a> <h3 class="title">A New European</h3> ... </div> </div> </div> <BR style="clear:both" /> <div id="bottombanner"></div> </div> </body> </html>
I'd really appreciate any comment!
Thanks in advance,
