lesley Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hello, can anyone give me a clue to what i need to tell internet explorer to do? The following page works well in Firefox, but not in IE. My css for rightrun and leftrun is what is messing up. http://loomtechnologies.com/allvalley/index.php Thanks for the help, Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) Your side divs with the shadows are floated and floated divs have no height (height: 100% doesn't work as you have discovered) so you have to nest the content div inside both the side divs which drags down the backgrounds to the height of the content. The content div should not have float: left if it's inside the side divs. It then has a height which is used by the side divs. See the principle in item 17c here:- http://www.wickham43.net/firefoxbackground.php Item 19 shows another way using position:: absolute divs as backgrounds. Edit: I can see that you've changed the page, but my version of your original is:- http://www.wickham43.com/forumposts/lesleyindex090907.html http://www.wickham43.com/forumposts/lesleywrapper090907.css http://www.wickham43.com/forumposts/lesleycolors090907.css (same as your colors.css) I made a new image leftrun3.jpg for the left side but it doesn't seem to be quite wide enough. I used the nested principles as in my first link but had problems at the top because of the #menu and #right divs which have to provide a different side image for the top part, so my version is very complicated but it works in Firefox and IE7.
