Positioning in IE vs. FF

Hello again!

I should know it by now, but again I get a problem with the positioning of a div.

When you visit http://www.spongy.nl with FF, the page looks like it's intended. With IE the left div is pushed beneath the right div. I tried to change the order in the XHTML, but that doesn't do the trick.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance,

Spongy

Man spongy, again with the FF/IE position post?
kidding...

Glancing at your XHTML, I cringed when I saw align="right"
It has nothign to do with your problem, just doesn't help the seperation of presentation and information.
#cblock { text-align: right; }

similarly, ID'ing <div>'s as left,right,whatever are presentational words... what happens if you decide to put that column on the right... the code would be kind of weird, no?
#left { float:right;}
you'd be better of naming it "Navigation" or "nav" or "menu" or something meaningful

Also, I would avoid using keywords as Id names... who knows what that might do to some browsers.

*anyways*

I had this problem once with my own site.
My problem was the margin setting and the width. I found that changing each value (trial and error) would shift my page in odd ways. I eventually settled on values that made the page look decent.
This offers no significant value to you as I've given no direct advise.

Your problem directly, likely caused by IE's Box Model.
I recommend massaging the Width values slightly to see what happens.

Hey MadCowDzz!

THANK YOU!!! Changing the widths did it! I hope that I can remember it this time...

I hope that there's no permanent damage because you cringed while looking at my site. I changed it to your suggestion, but the layout was screwed because of that. So, for now I will keep it there until I find a better solution. But thanks anyway.

Again, thanks. Now I will try to learn textpattern in a way so I can use it as it's intended. And I will proceed with my plan to take over the world!! Muhahahaha!
No, just kidding. I'm happy now ;-)

See you next time

good stuff...

I noticed the S in your top post (the word Stage) is kind of overlapping the rounded border.
Normally I would recommend a little padding, but I know that will likely cause the same problem you originally posted about.
I'll leave the ball in your court on this one
