Hack for IE6 and below needed

Question

Hi,
my website is http://mysafety.be and although the site displays perfect in Firefox and IE7 and IE8, there is a problem with the display in IE6. The layout has a header, a left column (for a flyout menu) and a main content body to the right of the left column.
The pages are deisgned with fluid design; I use some specific rules for IE7 and IE6 to get the dropdown and flyout menus work. The dropdownmenu is formatted "menu" and the flyout menu is formatted "menu1". The dropdown and flyout menus have each specific rules for IE6.
What happens in IE6 is that the main content body drops to below the left column.
Following style rules are applied:
1. the main body style:
width: 90%
margin right: 5%
margin left: 5%
max-width: 1200px
min-width: 900px
2. the left column (menu1) style:
float: left
height: 920px
width: 200px
3. the main content style:
height: 900px
overflow: auto
padding: 10px
4. in the main body style (main.css) I also have following specific IE hacks:
* html #body {margin-top:0px}
*:first-child+html {margin-top:27px}
5. the IE6 only style for the left menu specifies no dimensions other then this:
display: block
left: 105px
position: absolute
top: 0
width: 105px
There are no IE6 only stylings for the main content, which is why I am puzzled that in IE6 the main content drops below the left column.
Any clues please?
Thank you!
Erik

Answer 1

yes, it is fixed; sorry I did not give an update yet. I will now.
I discovered several things wrong.
1. I used a styling for the flyout menu that was not correct; this is the page I got my flyout from: http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/flyout_4level.html and I discovered that I used two stylings (one regular, and one for IE), while the styling included with this menu had the IE instructions included. Conflicts.
2. I found another error in the positioning of the picture below the ol in the page; IE would read the styling in such a way that the "maincontent" was wider then allowed.
3. I had two hack lines that assigned values for IE7 on one line, and on the other values for IE6, this last one was incorrect.
So, solved now. Thanks for the follow up, Murray.
Kind regards,
Erik
