position: relative fixes for IE

Hello hello.

I am having some trouble figuring out why/how FF and IE are reading my positioning for the sidebar links at
btpolympia.org

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

As a side note, I am trying to use a conditional filter for the IE6, but I’m not having any effect?
I can’t quite put my thumb on why its not being read?

Thanks, in advance.

Matthew

Beats the shit outta me.

I can’t even figure out what’s not working.

Re: position: relative fixes for IE

I know it’s kinda obvious, but is IE caching all the CSS (and not responding to hard refreshes)? If you use the dev toolbar you can see if your non-ie specific styles are being loaded CSS. I wasted two hours a couple days ago (styling an address tag to block, of all things), but IE wasn’t updating, even with * { display: none !important } as a test. I ran CCleaner and got it working (for the moment, anyways).

Re: position: relative fixes for IE

Walker,
LOL! Thats great.

What I had been seeing in IE: (running parallels on my intel)
Was that the rollover states for the sidebar are not lining up.

I will check JOn’s thought here.
I’m not familiar with IE’s innerds,
so I couldn’t find a empty cache
command?

I’ll try CCleaner.

Thanks fellas.

SO you’re telling me, that in IE
everything appears as it should be?

No :(

Same here on Windows XP, IE 6 – works just fine in Firefox 1.5

Re: position: relative fixes for IE

Edit
Per the peculiarities of Satan himself I cannot figure out what went wrong,
however, my conditional is now working.

I hate having to use these dumb things.

NOW, I have to figure out what is wrong with one of the links, that it shows up (in that not kind of a way)
Faqs? Doesn’t have a hover state?

Weird.

I’m diving in. Watch my back.

okay, good.
I’m not crazy then. Definitely still crazy.
I’ve just got to get my positioning correct,
or get the conditional to work :)

Any thoughts there?

This is the conditional I’m using:
<code><!—[if IE 6]>
<link rel=“stylesheet” href=”<txp:site_url />css/ie.css” type=“text/css” media=“screen” />
<![endif]—></code>
