layout issue in IE6 4 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0  
First of all, great template. I really like how simple it is to customize.

It's been brought to my attention by some people that in IE6 there is a problem with the layout of the page on my church's website. I've tried to readjust the widths of the sidebar, main content and even the content wrap, but to no avail.

I've attached a screenshot and the code for the Serenity template index.php. Any ideas on how to correct this? Thanks in advance.

Code:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/images/favicon.ico" /> <?php if ( $my->id ) { initEditor(); } mosShowHead();?> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="top_shadow"></div> <div id="top_a"> <div id="top_a_left"><?php mosLoadModules('user4',-3); ?></div> <div id="top_a_right"><a href="/index.php" title="home">home</a> | <a href="/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21&Itemid=9" title="contact us">contact us</a></div> </div> <div id="branding_header"></div> <div id="top_shelf"> <div id="top_shelf_left"><?php mosLoadModules('top',-2); ?></div> <div id="top_shelf_center"><?php mosLoadModules('user1',-2); ?></div> <div id="top_shelf_right"><?php mosLoadModules('user2',-2); ?></div> </div><!--top_shelf end--> <div id="top_seperator"></div> <div id="content_wrap"> <div id="sidebar"><img src="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/images/spacer.gif" height="5" /><? include ('menu.php'); ?><?php mosLoadModules('user8',-2); ?></div></br> <div id="main_content"><?php mosLoadModules('user7',-2); ?><br><?php mosMainBody(); ?></div> </div><!--content_wrap end--> <div id="bottom_seperator"></div> <div id="footer"> <?php include_once('footer.inc'); ?> <p align=center><a href="/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=9"><font color=#ffffff>Admin Login</a></font color></p> </div> </div><!--wrapper end--> </body> </html>

Hi

It looks like your left hand nav is too wide, have you applied padding or borders to it?

Hi,

I suggest you unpublish content (modules in sidenar and main content) bit by bit to see what is causing it to break, it is something in the content that is pushing the column/s wider than the main wrapper, this is the natural flow of ie when content is wider than the containers.

Once you know whats causing it, you can look to see why.

My nav width was fine. The problem was I had added a module above the main content and used a <br> to separate the two. Apparently that's a no-no with IE6. Once I eliminated that extra module, the display was fine. Thanks for the help.
