IE6 CSS layout problem

From a quick look is it the centering? If it is IE6 doesn’t calculate margin-left: auto correctly. Try something like:

body {text-align: center;}
#caja {text-align: left; /*to re-set text-alignment*/}

also you can short hand the margins to margin: 5px auto 0;

Does that help? If not let me know and i’ll try again.

Thanks for the answer, unfortunely it doesn’t work. The problem is not only the centering but also the width of the “caja” DIV. The odd thing is that the “pie” DIV (the grey footer) renders OK in IE (and both DIVs share almost the same CSS code)

The width issues are probably connected to the Box Model Hack
see https://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html for an explanation of what’s going on or google it for others.

You really want to avoid hacks though as you could be storing up trouble especially when IE7 comes out. Avoiding this basically means setting padding: 0 and setting a margin on the child element(s).

If you like i can have a go at that on the source you supplied?

Thanks plodder. I’m going to check the link.
One more odd thing: If I copy and paste the code from the page rendered by WP into a new HTML file it’s shown properly in IE6! but i doesn’t in localserver

The code is here:
https://personales.ya.com/poper/index.html —> HTML from a page rended by WP
https://personales.ya.com/poper/style.css –> CSS
Thanks a lot!

And here are the template files i’m using for WP (no loop, just the layout): https://personales.ya.com/poper/cole3.rar (header, index, footer and style.css)

Poper, got your files and i’ve started but unfortunately i have to go. Will post back later if that’s okay.

You can reset your margins by adding this to your stylesheet:

* { margin:0;
padding:0;
border:0;
}

Then use a conditional comment to fix any other IE errors that pop up.

I have made some ammendments to the CSS and posted example to:

and
https://www.fiveyears.co.uk/cole3/style.css

I hope this is what you are after.

Just as a heads up Plodders CSS displays fine in IE7

Thanks a lot plodder, you rock!
It works ??
Thanks again!

No problem, glad to be of assistance.
