margin or padding?
Could someone take a look at the white space occuring to the right of the sidebar and below the content column ( in our favorite IE6 Browser :)
Thanks,
Matthew

Matthew, i have a look tomorrow if still needed. it is pretty late here in germany and i have to rest :) in my pillow now.
Usually i have the same problems as you in IE6 when mixing margin and padding on a site / div. I noticed padding causes those problems.

I don’t know that this is the problem but you seem to have given #sidebar a width that can’t be read by IE.

Stuart,
Good to see you around. I had placed that !important bit behind the width, and had forgotten to place another width after it.
Does that clear it up?
Thanks.

Still there. This is one of those things where I just go in and start changing things then putting them back until I find the critter. :)

Re: margin or padding?
yeah, I know the feeling.
I tried that earlier today.
I guess tomorrow, when I am in front of a pc for work, I’ll take some time at lunch to go through again.
padding and margin are zeroed for everything in there, (I think), so what else could it be?
I don’t usually like to set negative margins, seems akward.
Hmm. Thanks for your thoughts Stuart.

Re: margin or padding?
Hi Matthew, i solved your right sidebar problem. It is the input form which causes the problem.
I did uncomment the following in your css stylesheet:
/*
form#feedblitz {
margin: 0;
padding: 10px;
}
form#feedblitz p{
margin: 0;
padding: 5px 0;
font-size: .9em;
}
form#feedblitz a {
margin: 0;
padding: 1px;
}
input#submit-to-feed {
margin: 8px 0 0 0;
font-size: .8em;
width: 60px;
}
input#email-to-feed {
width: 160px;
line-height: 1.2em;
font-size: 1.1em;
color: #56B600;
}*/
and everything looks fine then. So it is this bit of CSS which you should go through and change.
change the padding here:
form#feedblitz { margin: 0; padding: 10px; -> set to 5 or so. }
btw. you can use CSS Vista to check and change and debug the css in IE and FF.

I think Matthew is on a Mac Alex which would rule CSS Vista out.
