  1. you most likely aren’t using IE but the icons cause an over­lap with your right column in IE, IE’s rou­tines are all jacked up.

  2. hmmm this removed C - S - S from my com­ments

  3. yea i have a lot of workin to do to get it to not only look nice but to actu­ally be worth doing. but one day at a time, eh?

    i’m still learn­ing all of this garbage.

  4. i played around with the bor­ders a little bit and i think i’m close to fixing it.

    prob­lem is, the page ren­ders fine in all other browsers. IE for win­dows just isn’t standards-​compliant (but every­one uses it, so i’m SOL).

  5. well what you need to do is instead of using per­cent­ages for the colums find a happy fixed width… IE for fruity­pants I’m using 500px for the arti­cle area. I’m using a com­bi­na­tion of CSS floats and tables to achieve the basic layout…. the prob­lem with IE is that say with CSS it isn’t very stan­dard com­pli­ant so it ren­ders things funny like if you have a 500px width x 50px height box with 2px border on all sides and 10px padding inside you actu­ally have a box of 524px width and 74px height. IE treats things as you would think they where basi­cally a 480×30 area inside of the ini­tialy 500×50 box. How­ever, with the rest of the browseres that are css com­pli­ant you get the over­laps. That is actu­ally what the css stan­dard says….

    Exam­ple:
    http://​www.​fruity​pants.​com/​m​t​-​s​t​a​t​i​c​/​i​c​o​n​/​j​u​n​k​.html it plays nice in mozilla and ie unlike the main page cur­rently

  6. actu­ally thats the wrong url…. http://​www.​fruity​pants.​com/​t​e​s​t​.html :)
