[css-d] IE6 and absolute positioning

Sent by Aliotsy Andrianarivo on 27 August 2002 17:05


I've been humbled once again by CSS and IE6.  I'm working on a CSS-based 
layout that I intend to be compliant XHTML 1.0 Strict (although I admit that 
my naughty cheat.js file for colored scrollbars is not exactly in the spirit 
of standards).  Unfortunately, the layout falls apart in IE6.

The page is located at http://www.thethousand.net/v2/index.php .  The 
stylesheet is located at http://www.thethousand.net/v2/default.css .

It's basically a two-column layout, with one column fixed-width (300px) and 
the other dynamically resizable.  The dynamic column is set 0px from the 
left and 300px from the right, so it should theoretically resize at screen 
resolutions.

Theoretically.

In IE6, the right edge of the dynamically resized-column disappears under 
the right column.  Screenshot available at 
http://www.thethousand.net/v2/ie6.jpg .  I posted a similar question to the 
mailing list a few months back, but the solution I found then didn't work 
this time.  I scoured the web a bit and learned all sorts of interesting 
things about IE6 bugs, but I had trouble implementing anything...yeah, I'm a 
newbie.  I tried Andrew Clover's position.js file, but for some reason, it 
caused Mozilla 1.0 and NN6.2 to have spasming scrollbars.  Any help would be 
greatly appreciated.
