Hi CSS people,
My second attempt at this message :)
I'm using a 2 column float/margin layout where left-hand navigation bar
is floated to the left with a width of 200 pixels, and the main element
has a left margin of 200 pixels.
Some content in the main element is being "scraped" from another site,
and had tables with a width attribute set to 100%. This has the
unfortunate consequence that content in the main element lands up below
the content in the navigation element in IE (works fine in other
browsers) (see http://www.dotcat.org/stuff/break.html).
I have fixed in two different ways, firstly by setting the table width
to 99% as a table attribute, and secondly using CSS
(http://www.dotcat.org/stuff/fix1.html and
http://www.dotcat.org/stuff/fix2.html, respectively). Neither of these
solutions are ideal.
My question is, is this IE bug (if it is a bug) documented anywhere, and
is there a more elegant solution?
Best Regards,
Rob Shields
