CSS in IE not working right…

  • Hello. This may already been asked, but oh well.

    If you look in Firefox, it looks correct. but in IE, its totally messed up, and I have no idea why. Dreamweaver says there is no problems with IE reading the doc, so its very fustrating.

    @quasistoic:
    Thanks! that helped to make firefox and IE look the same, but I still have the problem of the orange bars not going all the way down the page. Any ideas? I tried height: 100%;, height:auto;, height:inherit;, but none of them help. thats putting that into:
    #left {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 0;
    padding: 0;
    width: 230px;
    ----I put the height here----
    background: #f90 url(left-edge.png) top right repeat-y;
    overflow: auto;
    }
    #right {
    position: absolute;
    right: 0;
    top: 0;
    padding: 0;
    width: 230px;
    -----I put the height here----
    background: #f90 url(right-edge.png) top left repeat-y;
    overflow: auto;
    }

    desk003: the most common solution to that involves using a background image.

    By the way, the most useful tool I’ve ever come across for page design is the EditCSS plugin for Firefox.
    If you install no other plugin, let this be the one.

    I tried that, using that code, in #rap, which i put between <body> and </body>, but for some odd reason, the image wouldent show up.
    https://desk003.com/back1.png is the image i used..
    #rap {
    background: #ccc url(back1.png) repeat-y 50% 0;
    }

    What is that repeat y 50%?

    is what the site said to do. repeat-y for it to go down the page, 50% to center it.

    desk003: instead of using that image as the background for #rap, use it for body.
    body {
    background: #ccc url(back1.png) repeat-y 50% 0;
    }
