issue between IE and NN

Hi all,

i see that we can't post links to problems so i shall attempt to explain this as best as poss.

My page is almost all CSS and using <div> tags, but i am using 3 graphics to make a horizontal bar for the main content section (then 2 down the side, and 3 along the bottom) to create a blue box type shape. For the life of me i can't make this work in CSS (something i have to try and learn later) so within the <div class="navigationbar"> (which is where this box is... & excuse the poorly named style) i have placed a 3x3 table. Top row 3 graphics, middle row 2 graphics and text content in the middle. Bottom row, 3 graphics. The table is set to 100% width, and almost all is well.

My problem is thus:

when that div area is perfect in IE, you need a horizontal scroll bar to view the whole area in NN. and when it is perfect in NN, the div area drops down the page and you need a horizontal scroll bar to view in IE.

The change comes from altering my CSS.

Perfect in NN:

#navhorizontal {
margin-left:160px;
margin-top:0px;
margin-right:0px;
}

Perfect in IE:

#navhorizontal {
margin-left:160px;
margin-top:0px;
width:100%;
margin-right:0px;
}

(the left margin is because the left navigation div is 160px wide)

Any insights appreciated, this is confusing me.

Thanks,

Jules

Hi, it was NN6.

Actually this issue has been resolved elsewhere.

[editor's note: the issue was resolved by removing an xml declaration at the top of the html document]

Thanks for your time though,

Jules
