Bug in IE?

Hey All,

trying to do a fluid layout with 3 columns, i will list what i have below, see if you can help me please.. the problem is it works fine in Opera but not ie? whats the deal.. thanks

CSS

#contentarea {
position: relative;
}

#mainmenu {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 10px;
}

#content {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
margin-left: 145px;
margin-right: 145px;
margin-top: 10px;
}

#submenu {
position: absolute;
right: 10px;
top: 10px;
}

HTML

<div id="contentarea">

<div id="mainmenu">
Left Nav
</div>

<div id="content">
<img src="images/image.gif" width="115" height="21" alt="alttag" />
<h2>HEADER>/h2>
<p>
MAKE SURE YOU PUT HEAPS OF TEXT HERE.
</p>
</div>

<div id="submenu">
Submenu
</div>

</div>

It's ok, i fixed it but let's see if anyone else can see the problem?

just a little test :p

and if you want to see that I actually HAVE fixed it instead of lying to you all the answer is this..


DO NOT LOOK IF YOU WANT TO TRY AND FIX IT URSELF


























#content {
/* this was the problem */
/*
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 0;
*/
margin-left: 145px;
margin-right: 145px;
margin-top: 10px;
}

Don't worry, I still think you're a liar. ;-)

mauahaha yes.. yes i am :p

Liar.

ummm....

;-)

Well if you want IE problems just do a pile of image alt tags with long descriptions in small cols.

It'll bust up your layout.

*ROFL* Something tells me that tip is from personal experience... ;-)

Yep a quarter million pages worth in fact

They worked correctly in many browsers but IE made jelly out of them.

Oh well, at least commenting the php code out was a lot easier than having to edit every page :grin:

That's all I gotta say...

Take care,
