Trying to resolve issues with IE6

I have a website that looks fine in IE7, but looks out-of-whack in IE6.
I has someon look over the main css file and they said this:


Here is the first thing you need to change. The wrapper needs to wrap entire development. Right now it is stopping after the navigation on line 295. Bring the </div> to line 725. The second thing is adding margin and padding on everything even if it is 0px. IE 6 and 7 needs this configuration. Change those things.."[/font]

Can you help me clarify this?
What does this mean: "Bring the </div> to line 725"?
Please clarify "Adding margin and padding on everything even if it is 0px".
Thanks

They mean line 725 in your code. That is where they suggest you put the closing div wrapper.

Thay are referring to the point that browsers add their own default padding sometimes. If you declare nothing, the browsers will all put something different, however, if you put "0", then the browsers will put 0 instead of their default. So, in which case "padding:0;" is actually different than not specifying the padding at all.

That is basically referred to as a "reset". You can find out more here:http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/ (Most people make their own resets based on what they use most)

Thank you for your reply. It was helpful.
I provided the main .css file to the person who made the suggestions, so I don't know which file that I need to "bring the </div> to line 725".

Thanks for explaining the padding, but I don't know how to add it on everything.

Any additional help will be appreciated.

Lets see either URL for the page in question, or post ALL of your code, CSS and HTML both. We can't really help if we have to guess.

...Once again, this is why I can't stand web designing any more. The little things that the web browsers IE, Firefox, etc.. can't seem to agree on, like cell pading. It's amazing that people still develop for the internet...I could see many people just giving up on the whole website idea if the browsers keep this up much longer. So sad.
