Ok this is definitely the wierdest thing I've seen from IE ever.
This is a simple 2 column site with header/footer.
Here is the site: www.roaddogproductions.com
Everything is fine in FF and IE7...however in IE6 the content text starts to angle off to the left? Running outside the h3 and p element tags...IT IS JUST PLAIN STRANGE. :shrug:
I've never seen anything like it and I've tried just about everything I know and after about 4 hours of trying to fix this I need someone more knowledgeable then me to take a look and maybe provide some kind of solution.
Anyone up to the challenge?
TIA,
TheWebGuy

First things first, lets fix up those teensy validation errors:

and see if it fixes it in IE.

Hey Hugo...yep that's exactly what it was..
Used your css and that fixed it.
Any recommended articles on this hasLayout?
I know I could google it (don't like to sift)...but if you know it and can recommend a write up on it I'd appreciate it.
Thanks! :thumbsup:

There is a recentish authoritative study on the subject:

It explains the nightmare in detail, thankfully the fixes have always been fairly straightforward.

Thanks again...
On to the read...it always seems that there is something amiss with all this CSS design/layout stuff. All the "hacks" and workarounds are quite annoying sometimes.
Almost causes me to want to go back to tables...although it's been quite a long time...but I don't remember having this much markup and code to do the simple things that tables provided.
Oh well...keep up with the standards (whatever they are :shrug: )
Have a great day.

There are problems that is
There are problems that is true but in reality they are on a par with any language that you care to examine.
As for the table debate that's not a discussion I care to participate in any longer, suffice to say that css-p and correct semantic markup allows for a degree of visual presentation that is so much more sophisticated than the constraints of a table used to layout content that there simply isn't any debate to be had.
Most of the problems to which you refer are likely a result of one single browser, a browser that has caused immeasurable harm to the reputation of CSS and that continues to hold us back from using the current level of CSS that is available and that actually - if we were able to use the properties - makes CSS simply a joy to use.
May that so**ing browser rot in hell!
