Website problem

[Nigel]

I've nearly finished this site for a friend. There is a one dud link I'm aware of. However the problem is on IE6 when you first enter the site, theres a red column right and left if you click on any of the links more than once the right red column dissapears. Anyone know why?

Feel free to comment on the site, good or bad. Don't bother with anything that isn't constructive though!

I'm pleased with it for my first real go. It really took shape once I had advice off here with using CSS. It's in it's third revision now and pretty satisfied overall.

Way off the standard of your sites, so thanks for the nice comment!!

Just need to sort this IE6 problem out.

Looks good mate, i cant get it to make the fault though?

One word of advice, remove the spaces in your file names. They can cause problems in browsers.

Looking real good. Better than my site www.leeshez.co.uk
I might try to make a decent one.

The space issue is a major issue, never have file names like /website/page 1.html.
BAD, BAD, BAD.
Use website/page1.html.

No spaces please, makes browsers insert %20 everywhere. As for the site, looks good, remember IE6 doesnt implement CSS and isnt complient, so it may not work properly at all.

IE6 doesnt implement CSS and isnt complient

I'll give you the none-compliant bit, but it does do CSS...

It does microsoft CSS which is not the same as the W3 version. In a perfect world microsoft would finally start rendering websites how they should be rendered.

A solution will be to have two style sheets, one for IE and another for all the proper browsers out there.

^^How do I implement having two style sheets?

^^How do I implement having two style sheets?

from the online store I did at work:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="componentbin.css" type="text/css" />    
         
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
          <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie_legacy.css"/>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE]>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ie.css"/>    
<![endif]-->

different style sheets for ie (and different style sheets depending on the version) and all other browsers.

The IE ones will override the standard stylesheet in the case where it's ie that is viewing the page. Other browsers will ignore the ie code.

Edit:

Basically, I used alpha blended PNG's for the edges of my page. This works in all browsers properly apart from IE versions less than 7.

So the standard style sheet defines the PNG versions of the page. If the page happens to being viewed on IE<7, then it includes a stylesheet which overides the images with a plain background and the non-alpha blended images so that it looks correct in old versions of ie.

Finally the last one includes all the fixes required to make the page render properly in all versions of ie.

^^ Thanks for that. I'll trya nd get my head round it this weekend.

Has anyone managed to recreate my problem in IE6?
