IE6 ALAP Holy Grail Woes

Sent by Bob Cohen on 28 November 2007 13:01


Hi All,

I'm new to the list and to coding CSS by hand.  I finally drew the  
line in the sand.  My WYSIWYG editor and tables are on one side and  
hand coding, CSS and I are on the other.  So now I am trying to  
execute my current project using the ALAP Holy Grail layout as the  
basis for the site.  (http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail)

My proof-of-concept template works on Mac/Windows Firefox 2.x and  
Mac: Safari and Win IE 7.  (Though I have arrived at this point via  
trial and error rather than actually understanding the concepts.)

T&E isn't helping with the IE6 problem.  When first opening the link  
with an IE6 browser, the left column is missing.  Resizing the  
browser window causes the column to appear. Refreshing causes it to  
disappear.  Matthew Levine suggested using this IE6 hack:

e.g.,

  /*** IE Fix ***/
* html #left {
   left: 150px;           /* RC fullwidth */
}

but that doesn't seem to do the job.

Here's the link to my page:

I can provide my CSS if necessary.

Thank you in advance.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bob
