Hello there. Me again!

http://premierautosource.com/testingyo/index.php


If the above site is viewed in IE7 and Firefox it looks somewhat how I am intending it to. In IE6 NOOO! I have no idea how one browser can screw something up so badly. The menu I installed, uses conditional css files, but I'm not sure if I did that right. (I know that dropdown_ie.css isn't styled like the other one - i'm getting there), but it displays it something horrible. Also if you view it in Firefox, you will be able to see the left and right columns below that I have achieved with floated layers side by side. Why is there about a 10px gap between them and the "mainwindow"? Also, in IE7, at the very bottom, it ads about 140 or 150 pixels worth of div layer that isn't supposed to be there. Can anyone help me with any of my problems? Thank you for taking the time to look at it.

I do. You can read the laundry list of IE bugs here:

I'm not sure where you got that dropdown menu, but there are easier ways to achieve that menu without all those conditional comments to force IE 6 to stick it into table cells. That's just way more work than is necessary. It is also the source of your problem. Once I take out all those conditional comments, your page appears, though it needs some fixing.

In IE, your container seems to contain, well, nothing, so your page appears mostly blank.

Your #outer isn't containing the right and left columns because you haven't cleared your floats.

In analyzing your code, it appears that EVERYTHING inside of #outer is stuck INSIDE #menu - which I'm sure you didn't intend. So, you have misplaced </div>s in your code, everything is nested incorrectly.

I don't see the menu in IE6 at all ?!
fix that first

Yah.. that IS the problem. Once you take out all those conditional comments on the menu, it appears, doesn't work, but it appears.

I realize now that you got that menu from CSSPlay. Stu has some great stuff there, but I have to take issue with his method on that one. You can get a drop-down menu w/o all those CCs.
