Topic: Character Issue

View this site in IE6: doo rshox.com/ds-tem plate.htm (remove spaces)

Down near the bottom of the page you will find INSTALLATION. Look at the last line of the paragraph in Step 1 and tell me if you see two characters ( t. ) that shouldn't be there.

I have seen this issue before a few years ago but I do not recall what the cause it or how to resolve it.

Re: Character Issue

Nevermind. I had to clear floats.

Re: Character Issue

It's probably "IE6 double character bug". I have fixed it in one of my demos before (don't remember which). If I remember correctly, It has to do with floats and comments (or something). I "think" I added a <b></b> with a negative margin next to the afflicted area to fix it.

You are right. I don't recall that the fix you used is the method I used before but just simply applying a clear:float just before the close div where the paragraph resides seems work well.

Nevertheless, either one works.

Thanks.
