CSS\IE issue

ok here is my web page:http://krumkast-pa.krum.name/php/

And i have 2 issues:

1) how do i make the height of the main section of the page dynamic? Currently i have it hard coded with a height and many of the other pages are much shorter so there is lots of left over space at the bottom for no reason.

2) Why when you open it in IE does it insist on putting scroll bars everywhere?



Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

 

Re: CSS\IE issure

Well, I don't really have time right now to review your code much, and I'm not very experienced with using frames, but I'd probably try to get the scroll bars gone by adding some overflow attributes to your css for each item that you want it gone for. Try

overflow: hidden;

for everything you don't want a scroll bar for.

 

Re: CSS\IE issure

i am pretty sure that i already do that

 

If you do, my bad. I thought I saw a couple that either did not have it set or were set to auto. But like I said, I only skimmed over it.

Have you tried not setting the height for some of your block level elements like your tables? I don't know hardly anything about frames, but I know that tables should expand to enclose the content if no height it set. So, if your tables are still getting scroll bars if they don't even have a height set, then you know you've got another problem somewhere in the code. Maybe conflicting css rules or attributes. Another thing you might want to try, just for the heck of it, it setting your overflow: hidden; rules to important.

overflow: hidden !important;

If it then works, then you probably have a contradicting rule or attribute somewhere.

All of your css, for everything, is in your styles.css file, correct?

 

You might consider looking at your validation results using the W3 online validator. This link may work: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0

Note that each frame renders the same result. Also note that I'm just guessing. I figured my guesses are better than none.

I know that I've seen AT LEAST one instance using IE in which something as simple as a different doctype is the difference between something working and it not working. Which is a coding error, not a browser compliancy issue.

 

1) First off there are no frames on my page. The different pages are in object blocks.

2) almost everything is in styles.css

3) !important didn't change anything

4) good catch with the html tag not validating(they keep changing the validator on me) but no change.

5) Seeing as the code validates and Firefox renders it correctly i am going to still work on the assumption that it is an IE issue(if for no other reason than i have IE)

Find anything else???
