Another IE related problem - 6/6/2004 1:49:56
With this next problem I'm not sure if IE is right, or the other browsers are just being nice. I'll try, and explain this as clearly I can (it is a bit weird). I have 3 main divs (ignore the logo, and footer). The first div holds the other 2 divs, I call it the "container" div. The next div is the "menu" div which holds the menu, and the third div is the "content" div which holds everything to the right of the menu.
My first div (container div) has a background image which is a sad attempt at a chainlink. This chainlink image expands to the height of the "content" div, so when there is a lot of content, and it exceeds the height of my menu it will keep going down (click on "empty" link in menu to see how it works). The problem is if my "menu" div is larger then my "content" div IE shows the background across the screen, as shown in the link below.
http://206.116.224.94:447/exp2/winxp-menu.asp
Firefox, netscape, and mozilla do not display the background across.
Just load the link up with IE, and then another type of browser to compare.
The result I am looking for is how non-IE browsers are displaying it, but I'm not sure if thats really hows supposed to be displayed, or maybe it's just another stupid problem related to IE. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears., any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Both look fine here. Try clearing out the cache on you PC and try again

Hi and welcome to outfront.
I have the page loaded in Mozilla right now and the background is not displaying for me.
I'm not sure what the problem is though. If someone doesn't give you an answer, I'll try to see if I can find it on a search for it.
Have you vallidated your html/xhtml and css? Sometimes it is just a matter of something that isn't done in the css correctly. Like a ; left out etc...

RE: Another IE related problem - 6/6/2004 21:02:39
I cleaned out my IE cache, cookies, and everything else, and the background (chainbackground) still displays across the page. The way I want it to look is how Firefox, netscape, etc display it, by covering up that chain background under the winxp menu box (content div).
If you load it up in IE you will see how that chainlink background goes across the bottom of the "content" div, whereas other browsers do not have that displaying. I'm sorry if it's confusing, but it's kinda hard to explain. My best advice is to load up the link with IE 6, and then compare it to some other browser (netscape, firefox, mozilla). Thanks for the help, and support :)
I forgot to mention that I validated my xhtml, and all css files, and there were no errors in them.

Hi, I looked at your code and you have margin right auto. It could be that because the content does not extend down on the first page that the margin is setting itself as the far right of the page. Try giving the margin right as the width of the image and see what happens.
To test it out, you could always give your content div a pixel height. figure out the pixels on one of the other pages and then do this for the one that has the image going across the page. This would let you see that it appears to be a margin thing right now. I hope I am making sense

I agree with the margin: auto; etc, but I also think it's due to the background:
#container {
background: url("chainbackground.jpg");
width: 770px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 0px;
}
One, you're not supposed to use quotation marks unless it's more than one word. Two, You haven't set the repeat, whether its horizontal, vertical, or not at all.
You may also need to set a height.

I changed my code to the following, and it has fixed the problem.
#container {
background: url("chainbackground.jpg");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
width: 770px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
padding: 0px;
}
I just want to say thanks again for all the great help, and support. I have been to other forums, and it usually takes ages to get a good decent response.
