DESPERATELY NEED HELP
Posted: Thu, 2008-07-24 22:36
Before I say anything I want to say that I know there are technically HTML errors. I really really really am at my wits end, and I know that this is a CSS based issue.
In Firefox, my page loads fine. In IE7, no matter how many adjustments I make in any number of ways, I ABSOLUTELY CAN'T FIND A FIX. I tried the Holly Hack...I tried using tons of combinations of margins, positionings, absolute, relative, fixed, etc.
The site: http://www.starsandscars.com/index2.html
The CSS: http://www.starsandscars.com/css/sxs08.css
It may be messy, and this may not be the proper way to ask for help, but I am desperate for a quick fix. I have worked on this for weeks and CANNOT find a fix. PLEASE help me out...and forgive my ignorance of the rules. This is a short time frame situation.
Thank you soooo much for your help!

Move #logo (and all its contents) inside #main and then use this (I tidied up the CSS and removed all the unnecessary stuff):
body { margin: 0; background: #0060B6 url(../images/smallguitar_BG.gif); color: #a10000; font: 12px Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; } body.photos { margin: 0; background-color: #ffffff; } table, td, tr { color: #FFFFFF } a { color: #a10000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; } a.table { color: #a10000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; } a.leftnav, a.rightnav { font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } img { border: none; } ul { margin: 0; padding: 0; line-height: 1.2; list-styl: none; } p { color: #a10000; } #main { float: left; margin: 110px 0 60px 60px; border: 2px solid #999999; background: #ffffff url(../images/star.png) top right no-repeat; width: 720px; min-height: 180px; color: #a10000; } #text { float: right; position: relative; width: 500px; margin-right: 50px; min-height: 450px; } #topNav { position: absolute; top: 99px; left: 180px; width: 540px; height: 1.5em; z-index: 5; color: #a10000; } #leftnav { float: left; border: 2px solid #999999; background-color: #ffffff; margin: 60px 0 30px -25px; padding: 7px; width: 125px; } #rightnav { float: right; margin-top: 20px; padding: 5px; width: 100px; } #logo { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; margin: 0; z-index: 3; width: 100%; } #intPicL { float: left; padding: 1em; } #intPicR { float: right; padding: 1em; } #copy { clear: both; position: relative; padding: 3em 0em 0.5em 1.5em; }How to get help
