Css Layout: Trouble With Ie the scrollbar and margin-bottom

[Lozbo 0]

I have a site which I'm developping and trying to get a frames-like layout design.

But IE does not propperly show the scrollbox, its hidden behind the fixed divs of the top header and the bottom footer...

Firefox does alright, so If you dont understand what I mean you can check it out here:

Seems like Opera and Safari are doing also good...

And also, the margin of #content (which is the main content area) is not working, becouse it does not go up above the footer, I don't know what is going on (that rule is inside a 'fix IE only hack' which i think is called holly hack or something).

I change the values for margin and margin-bottom, and it doesnt work and i switched to padding and it does pull the div above, but thats not what I need, becouse of the background-image...

The styles are on

dude don't bother fixing this. it's most likely because IE is not w3standards compliant. view my spudgun site with IE. IE does not interpret stylesheets correctly and it's not your fault, it's Microsofts.

You are probably correct, the problem is that 90%+ of people use IE. So if you want 90%+ to not be able to view the site properly, then don't fix it. Now of course that is a silly thing to do isn't it? Sorry to say, putting your head in the sand and ignoring the problem is not an option, regardless of who is at fault.

The problem is IE doens't recognised position:fixed for any element other than the body.
Stu Nicholl's has a few examples of similar types of fixed layouts: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/layouts/bodyfix.html

I know IE does not work with fixed things, thats why it has a special hack to put ie with position:absolute. Ive seen stuff like that that works perfectly fine in IE, particularly in a wordpress template, lemme find the link.Yes, I know its microsoft's fault but avalon is right, more than 90 percent of users browses the web with that darn thing, I have to fix it... Thanks, ill keep looking and ill give a glimpse to that site Tyssen... thanxGot that darn thing! All bymyself! I am my own Idol hahaha never mind, if a mod sees this you can close this thread, or if some one who was checking this out wants me to explain how I manage to do it just post a reply here and ill gladly tell ya...good luck and good coding...
