I'm new to CSS and DW, so I tried starting with DW's new CSS layouts. After
working on this off and on for about a year, I finally got the design to look
okay in both FF 2 and IE 7. Wouldn't you know my client has IE 6 and the
layout breaks in 6. In 6 the middle section, including the banner image, float
drop down to the bottom. If I make the width on #container2 to be 956 pixels
instead of 950, then 6 lets the middle section float up, but all browsers have
a background colored gap between the banner images and one or more of the
sidebar images. I'm ready to pull my hair out!

Here's the link to the page set to work for IE 7 and FF and to break in 6.
The entire site, of course, has many more pages but this just has the index
because I'm experimenting.

and here's the style sheet that has the problem.

The reason I added the #container2 is to get the cream colored background to
show in both IE7 and FF. One or the other was giving me the dark green
background in the main content and the other was giving me the cream colored
main content background like it was supposed to.

Any suggestions? Is there a quick and easy way to fix this so it works in all
browsers? Or a hack to fix it for IE 6? I can live without it working in any
IE before 6, but I need 6 to work.

In general, it is a mistake to start with DW's included CSS layouts? I
thought it would be such a smart thing to do but now I'm not so sure!

Hi,

you could try replacing yours for mine...

..leftMargin198 {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
height: 175px;
width: 554px;
float: left;
}
