URGENT !!! - unwanted padding-top in IE but not in FF - HELP !!!

Aug 22, 2009 6:33 AM

Hi guys - please help me urgently!

 

The attached page is self-explanatory. This is regular 2-columns setup: main content, right sidebar, header and footer. Right sidebar is floating DIV element. Whatever is inside it is positioned well in Firefox but is moved down some 30 pixels in Internet Explorer (I have IE 8). This inconsitency is very frustrating.

 

Any ideas how to fix this nasty issue?

I need to complete the stuff today !

 

Thanks ahead,

Ziggi

    Well, it is really not all that self explanatory, you should post a link to the page so people can see the code.

     

    My guess is that the right column has an <h2> tag that may be adding margin to it. You can try this, but again a guess

     

    <h2 style="margin:0;">

     

    Or post the link.

    The answer is in your code. You have:

     

    
<![endif]--><!--[if IE]>

<style type="text/css"> 

/* place css fixes for all versions of IE in this conditional comment */

.twoColFixRtHdr #sidebar1 { padding-top: 30px; }

.twoColFixRtHdr #mainContent { zoom: 1; }

/* the above proprietary zoom property gives IE the hasLayout it needs to avoid several bugs */

</style>

<![endif]-->

     

     

    This conditional adds a top padding in the sidebar if you're in an IE browser. This may have been a hack to fix earlier versions' rendering.

     

    Take out the conditional style (or change it) to see if that is what is causing the 30 px drop.

    **** - I simply did not notice this conditional piece of code. I overlooked it as some meaningless comment or so...

     

    Thank you once again!

    I'm sorry, I did not see that you have attached the code.

    I liked it better with the text down a bit

    Perhaps, but at least Ziggi will be able to apply spacing/padding as desired instead of having it wrested out of control...
