Classic IE problems
I know there have been a few post on this subject, and i´ve really tried to find the solution myself before posting here. So, here we go.
Currently doing some redesign on my site and got two major IE css problems. (IE 6.0)
1. My search area (the blue upper left corner) produces a gap downwards.
2. Comment Form (example this article ) break the layout. My guess is that it may be to wide. But have failed to find the right way for IE.
You know I´m very thankful for any pointers as usual.

Re: Classic IE problems
Do you have duplicate style entries in your CSS? When I took a look at it, I saw multiple entries that related to the same element (such as the search area… fieldset, #sokning, etc.). If they exist on your end, I’d clean those out first, then move on to any fixes.
However, I think the search area can be fixed by making these changes:
fieldset: padding: 6px 6px 0 6px;#searchform: add margin: 0;
For the other problem, either reduce or take out the margin-right: 14px; setting for the #fullarticle entry. The margin is causing the width to be larger than specified in IE, which is making the floated element drop down.
I may not have to mention this, but please keep in mind that these apply to IE only, so you will need to either use IE only CSS selectors (like the “Holly hack”) or use IE conditional comments.
Hope those help some.

Re: Classic IE problems
Thank you whatbrick
No wonder I scratched my head… had duplicated my css (one of those CTRL + V moments I guess). Your fieldset example did the trick. And you were also right about the margin-right thing. Thanks again!
