Now it looks fine in IE, but falls apart in Firefox where the elements of the overall page seem to disappear, and the page elements size themselves with a mind of their own. Any ideas where I am going wrong? Thanks.]]> 11/18/04, 323 20 2004 2004:%i:1100838025 23:20:25 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1591 Schomer said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1592
What do you mean by "disappear?" What exactly happens... divs are missing on the page in Firefox?]]> 11/18/04, 323 32 2004 2004:%i:1100838767 23:32:47 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1592 Baxter said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1593 11/19/04, 324 37 2004 2004:%i:1100875045 09:37:25 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1593 Mccavity said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1594
This time I have adapted a simpler design I have worked on for another site. Now the problem I have is a page that validates (css and html 4.01 Trans) and works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. (6):

The inner container (#boxpagehash) is out of place and the 2nd column refuses to float left to join the first. It's probably something dumb, any ideas?]]> 12/14/04, 349 06 2004 2004:%i:1103076385 21:06:25 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1594 Joe Gillespie said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1595
Aside from that, use the 'Outline Block Level Elements' feature in the Web Developer Toolbar to see what your divs are doing. The div below the text 'Click on a picture for a smaller version' looks too wide to me and you haven't specified what should happen to the overflow it creates explicitly.]]> 12/15/04, 350 33 2004 2004:%i:1103103224 04:33:44 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1595 Baxter said: http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1596
Using the WDT to outline, I also notice you have A LOT of DIVs, way more than you need. Near as I can tell, this site needs two divs, three tops... one for the gray box, one for the off-white box and MAYBE one of the links, but a UL would be better.]]> 12/15/04, 350 55 2004 2004:%i:1103122527 09:55:27 http://www.wpdfd.com/forums/wpdfd/layout/css_layout_in_firefox/#p1596
