IE not playing ball with bground image - 8/26/2009 5:13:45
I've used a background gif that's 1200 x 1px to frame a container 800px wide.
View at http://www.rightintoit.com/shadow.html
In Firefox 3 it seems to work as intended. But in IE, the main container is move over to the right about 170px.
Here's the main part of the applicable CSS.
body
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0;
color: #000;
background-color: #ddd;
background-image:url(images/bground.gif);
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
#container
{
/*margin: 0px auto;*/
margin-left:120px;
background-color:#FFFFFF;
border: 1px solid #333;
width: 800px;
padding-top: 0px
}
The bground image is 1200 wide and has a space 800px wide, 120px from the left hand side. That's why I put a margin of 120px on the container.
Can anyone explain why I haven't managed to get it to work in IE yet please?
Ciao

Are you saying that the margin of 120px isn't the way to go?
Is there an alternative with this style of page - or should I just ditch this sort of style?

I used the display:inline; command, but it doesn't appear to fix the problem in IE7.
The CSS doesn't validate - there is one error with text-shadow being incompatible with CSS 2.1, but that shouldn't worry the divs.
The XHTML does validate OK.

Thanks again Tailslide.
Once I got my head around making the image smaller, it all worked perfectly.
Thanks heaps.
