[Solved] Noobie formatting question - IE 6

Remove the width from #centrecontent - it'll automatically fill the remaining space left over after the margin anyway. And you don't really need a leftpad and centrepad - just add the padding to the left and right column elements.

Thanks Tyssen for the reply!

I tried your suggestions and didn't see any difference when I tested the site with Windows IE6. I think this is less a formatting issue and more of an IE6 bug issue.

I am still trying to figure this out. I am going through the validation issues. Another problem is that I can't test Windows IE6 at work, we just have IE7 on our Windows machine, and run Macs everywhere else.

Any other suggetions?

Thanks, Paul

Works for me:

This is a shirt that we apply our flock letters and numbers to.

How long does it take?

Normally this process takes anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the complexity of your order.

How much does it cost?

Shirt and setup fees on average are $15 plus $0.50 per letter.

Can I write anything I want on a shirt?

Yes you may! We are in the business of making shirts, not dictating what you say on them.

What can you apply letters to?

We can customize hoodies, hats, underwear, and just about any other piece of clothing. If needed we will test your garment first to make sure we can apply letters to it.

Can I bring in my own shirt?

Yes, we will customize your own shirt. We change $10 for the setup and $0.50 per letter.

Do you have group pricing?

We can accomadate any size order and do give price breaks for larger quantities. Group orders take 7-10 business days, but often less time than this. The pricing depends on the number of colors in your transfer, the number of prints per shirt, and the number of shirts ordered. Minimal order for this process is 6 shirts.

  Photo Shirt Information

We can put any image you want on a shirt! We call the process a Photo Shirt. To make the process quicker and easier for everyone here are some guidelines for photo shirts.

We prefer digital images in Jpeg, Photoshop (.psd), or Illustrator (.ai) formats - we may not be able to work with other formats.

We can work with digital images from a CD, DVD, or USB driven device – sorry no floppy disks! 

We can scan most any printed item, though if it is larger than our scanner bed there may be an art charge added.  

We can usually enlarge an image, but how much depends on the quality of the source image (dpi and dimensions) – enlarging an image may cause pixilation.

The entire process usually take under 20 minutes.

Finally, we can only print photo shirts on white or light colored shirts. 

You can always send us your image in advance at [email protected] with the subject ATTN: Photo Shirt Order, but you will still have to come in to place your order.

You can click on the image below to see what a photo shirt looks like.

  Artists In Residence

At the start of 2006 we decided that our neighborhood, Lakeview, home to the Chicago Cubs, was becoming just a little too sterile and losing character. We have certainly seen the neighborhood change in the last 20 years. To remedy this problem we started the Strange Cargo “Live Art” program.

Here’s how it works: We are looking for musicians, painters, belly dancers, jugglers, sword swallowers, just about anybody with some kind of talent.  All you gotta do is contact Jaime Dahms at [email protected] and tell her what you do.  See if it works for her.  Then she will schedule a time and you will get paid (Jaime will discuss that all important detail with you).  You get great exposure and we get something interesting to shake things up a little.

Thanks Tyssen, your version worked! I had misunderstood your suggestion and my code was referring to an old stylesheet! Shame on me!

Thanks a bunch!
