CSS in IE5.5 and below (was "Please please help - URGENT.")
Hello,
I really need your help please, and it's quite urgent! We have a new corporate layout, using CSS. I have removed all styling so the attachment contains the HTML and CSS *shell* and nothing else. It works lovely in: - Opera 6.12+ - Konqueror 3.1 - Netscape 7.1 - IE6 - Firebird - Mozilla However, on anything previous than IE6, for example: IE5.5, 5.0, 4.01 there are a few problems. With IE 5.5 and 5.0 there is a problem that when the "content" div contains a table, such as the one given in the attachment, it "pushes" the content div into the right blocks which it shouldn't. In IE 4.01, there is a space beneath the "title2" div which shouldn't be there. I've tried in the CSS using different things i.e. only giving the table a 99% width, but nothing fixed it. We do need a width on the table so it always fills the width of the "content" div as we have different screen resolutions on different workstations. I realise a table shouldn't be used, as the main layout doesn't, but this is from a corporate PHP script that generates a table, so there's nothing I can do about it. Any help you can provide for this would be gratefully appreciated, I really cannot see anything "wrong" as such, and hope you will be able to help me get this work in the older browsers too. Thanks in advance. Regards, Last edited by jacktasia : June 22nd, 2004 at 04:40 PM.

Probably few of us have Win IE<6 to test with—I don't. IE4? Tell your client there comes a time to abandon support for obsolete browsers. Why are they still using two generation old browsers? IE<6 doesn't grok W3DOM/ECMAScript or CSS. Hell, IE6 doesn't understand CSS, but we're stuck with it.
cheers, gary

IE5.X is notorious for its broken box model. You have to "cheat" in the CSS and take advantage of other bugs in IE to get it to work right.

Hiya,
Thanks for your reply. I couldn't agree more, I don't know why people still use those old browsers. However, people do ... I just wondered if you could spot anything that would cause the problems, or more so, how to stop those problems in at least IE5.5? IE5.5 is one I'd really like to support.. 5.01 and 4.01, if it cannot be done, isn't a problem... Any help greatly appreciated. Regards,

Hello,
Sorry to post again.  Does anyone have any ideas of anything I can do to even get it just working with IE5.5, as a lot of our visitors seem to use that version. We can live without supporting 5.01, and 4.01, I created a PHP script to alert browsers of those versions... If you're able to help in anyway, it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks again. Regards,
