IE 7 issue

[NuCoder]

Good morning guys,

 

If you have a moment could you visit my link - www.creativeeyedia.com - 2 things I am experiencing in IE 7:

 

1) On the Stories page - the state links are pushed up and I can not seem to figure out why.

 

2) On all the pages - the content is pushed up close to the navigation? I know with IE 6 & 7 - it is not recommended to add a bottom margin to the parent container - but better to add a bottom padding. I have a bottom margin on the navigation UL, not the #navigation - would this be the factor of my issue?

 

Any advice is greatly appreciated -

 

thank you

Brian

overflow: hidden is the issue to your first problem. Remove it and then adjust to suit.

 

As for the second problem, I don't see it being to close to your 'states' links.

 

I couldn't help noticed that you have your header and contents within the #header div. You might check to see if you have a misplaced closing tag and then maybe the content will position accordingly.

Tip: When you want to know how your divs are being laid out, just add a border temporarily to each with differen colors so you can tell which is which.

Thanks Newseed

 

- I removed overflow: hidden, removed the bottom margin and added a height to the nav and this seemed to fix it (contents pushed up as well as the State Links)

 

Thanks for the tips on adding a border on the divs while building - I will try this
