Hello there,

I've just finished the layout-demo of my site with a quite complex structure (fixed sidebar and header, scrollable text-area aligned to the center of the screen) and I've one request and one question concerning the site (http://web.pr.hu/~ipeto/proba3.html):

The request: Since I'd like to make the site accessible as wide as possible, I've already checked with couple of browsers (Mozilla 1.6-1.7, Firefox 0.9.2, Opera 7.52, IE6, MyIE2 0.9) and it appears to work fine with them more or less.
So I'd like to ask you to check it with other browsers (mainly with IE5.5 and Macintosh-browsers) and tell me if the site seems to collapse - I suppose that fixing the sidebar and the header won't work with IE5.5 but it should be usable though...

But it has a really weird bug with IE6 and MyIE2: When I uploaded the files to the server I found that scrollbar "slips in" with about 10-12pixels after almost every refresh. It's really bizarre since in my local PC the site has worked fine with IE too... Shock :-k
Here can be found my CSS-files:
http://web.pr.hu/~ipeto/skin/default.css
http://web.pr.hu/~ipeto/skin/msie.css

So every comments about the above-mentioned issues or about the design of the site are greatly appreciated... Smile

First XHTML/CSS site, plus weird IE6 'bug'

Yes you have a couple of differences happening in IE5 (PC/Win 2000). First, the page is aligned flush left with the screen window where it's supposed to be centre-aligned. Second, the scrollbar scrolls the whole page but in Firefox 0.9 it only scrolls the main content panel and the rest of the page is fixed. Otherwise, looks fine in IE5 AFAICT. Smile

First XHTML/CSS site, plus weird IE6 'bug'

Okay, thanks a lot... Smile I expected something like this concerning IE5... I'm afraid, I can't fix sidebar and header for IE5, but the alignment issue might be solved...
But the "wandering scrollbar" seems to be more serious, it make the layout worser... ](*,) Evil

In Mozzy 0.8, looks fine.

However, I would have preferred to see an actual footer visible, and have the content between them and scrollable. It looks like a standard page that you have to scroll, but only parts of it scroll.

Good though.

First XHTML/CSS site, plus weird IE6 'bug'

Thank you for the comments...
I suppose I've managed to fix this mysterious scrollbar-bug that I mentioned bellow... \:D/ It was caused by the following code-snippet from my css-file:

#pg-content ul {
	padding: 0;
	margin: .2em 0 .6em 3em;
	/*list-style-image: url(image/bull02.gif);*/ 
}

If I remove list-style-image attribute, the problem simply disappeares! Shock

First XHTML/CSS site, plus weird IE6 'bug'

Hi there,

I remade my test-site a bit, you can find it here: http://web.tvnetwork.hu/~ipeto/root50/... I'd like to ask you guys to check it again and tell me what you think... (You should see something like the attached piccie - sorry for the poor quality - with a scrollable main area...)
Any feedback (especially from mac users) will be welcomed again... Laughing out loud

Again, in mozzy ff 0.8 looks correct.

And might I add that is a fine colour and layout scheme you've chosen? Fantastic!
