Well I am back to that troublesome IE6 again with a problem on the background image nbot aligning correctly with IE6, in other browsers you can see the background image along the sides of the container but in IE6 it does not show at all. Can anyone help with this?
| Code: |
body {
font-family: helvicta,verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.88em;
height: 1%;
color: #FFFFFF;
text-align: center;
background-image: url('images/background.gif');
background-color: #000000;
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: center top;
}
#container {
width: 798px;
height: 100%;
margin: auto;
text-align: left;
border: 1px solid #625e00;
}
#centercontent {
width: 798px;
float: left;
background: #000000;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: inline;

you can see the effect I am after if you view in a browser that is not IE6, and then when the thing is worked in IE6, it does not show, only a bit at the top and the bottom. The background image is exactly 800px wide. |

| It's very hard to tell with partial code and no image. Is the page live? |

I have played around with this for about 90 minutes. I think a separate stylesheet for IE6 is the answer.
One of the big things I noticed is the background being in the body instead of the main container which would work better. Also , doing away with some relative positioning and floats and using margins corrects alot of the problem. But some of these mess up IE7. |

| thanks for your response, I did wonder whether I should put the border on the container. I am looking into some training for browser issues. |
