Topic: IE6 Issues (who would have guessed?)

Hey all,

Quick IE issue I thought I should share, in case someone has a fresh view on it for me... I just recently added a new footer design to http://www.falkencr eative.com [remove spaces]. It works just fine in Firefox, and IE7 & 8, but of course IE6 hates me. smile If you compare Firefox and IE6, you'll notice that the main issue is that the footer's background doesn't stretch all the way across the page.

Any ideas? At this point, I'm almost considering ignoring IE6 for this issue... It's still functional, just doesn't look as pretty as in newer browsers.

Nevermind, got some help via Twitter and figured out the source of the problem.

you can also post here solution self: it could  help somebody with the same glitch. IE6 strangely enough keeps hanging there.

Re: IE6 Issues (who would have guessed?)

Here was my issue... IE 6 ignores the overflow setting unless the surrounding element has a fixed width. I had to add "width:100%" to my footer wrapper div (despite the fact that I thought that it was a browser default and I didn't need to include it).
