Rendering problems in IE

Hi,

I've done some extensive reading on the subject of IE and how it has so many bugs as far as rendering CSS correctly is concerned. I have also read about the various possible fixes, but as yet have not found one that works for me.

Being new to this forum, I'm somewhat confused as to how to ask for help from other members if we cannot post the code (all the code, since it seems thats the only way anyone with knowledge would be able to identify the problem!)

All I can say is that one of my divs has a "negative" figure for the margin, and it seems that the dimension in question is roughly how much my menu appears outside the viewport on the left in IE5.5 and 6, but not in IE 7 onwards.

Ive tried applying rules to all divs that ensures they have "hasLayout" but this doesnt appear to resolve the problem.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Jules

One option is to use conditional comments to target various versions of IE:

I find the best method is to test in your target browser versions early and often to catch the discrepancies as they happen. If you leave it to the last moment it can be very difficult to find the cause of the problem.

Hi,

Yes leaving it until afterwards makes life difficult, but then as amatuer webdesigner I wasnt even aware of this issue until after it happened. Now it seems like I will simply have to redesign the whole website :(
