CSS Forum

I'm new to this forum, so sorry if this have been posted before.

So the problem is, I'm making this website and now, when I'm almost done with it I realize that the CSS menu doesn't work properly in Internet Explorer 6. Maybe one of you guys can help me?

Here is the css code:

#menu2{text-align: center;font-size:1.08em;list-style:none;}
#menu2 li{text-align: center; }
#menu2 a{display:block;float:left;height:30px;padding:0 10px;background:url('img/nav.gif');background-color:inherit;color:#ffffff;font-weight:bold;line-height:38px;text-decoration:none;}
#menu2 a:hover{background:url('img/nav.gif') left bottom;background-color:inherit;color:#6972a8;text-decoration:underline;}
#menu2 .selected{background:url('img/nav.gif') left bottom;background-color:inherit;color:#ffffff;text-decoration:underline;}

The links in the menu are uneven and everything just floats to the left instead of in the middle.

I think that Internet Explorer 6 doesn't read all the CSS code, not sure though...

Does anyone have a thought about this? Or do I just have to accept that it doesn't work in IE6 and rebuild the menu?

Thanks!

Yes, I would suggest doing it for IE 7 or http://www.microsoft.com/windows/Internet-explorer/default.aspx (IE 8)

I have IE 8, let me check out your website and I will see what it looks like...

78% of all ENTERPRISE users (meaning most of corporate America) is still using IE6, along with a still-hefty percentage of home users, so you can't ignore IE6.

The CSS you've shown us here, IE has no problem with. There has to be something else. We need the site, or ALL the code in order to see what is really going on.

You can go and look at the website http://www.singsby.com/index_theone.php

But I've already checked it with IE7, IE8 and firefox, the site looks fine in them

Yeah, I know. It's a shame that a lot of people still use IE6 imo, I don't like that web browser, makes my life miserable.

haha

If it's not the CSS code, maybe it could be the !DOCTYPE, read that somewhere, but I've already tried to change that too.

Thanks for your answers anyway, really appreciate it
