[thelist] Site critique/check of CSS positioning in IE 5 (PC)

OK, platform is win 2000

In IE5.5:  Site looks ok at fullscreen 1024*768 but upon resizing to a
smaller window causes the text to overlay the bottom blue bar.

In NS6: Again site look ok fullscreen but even a small amount of re-sizing
causes horizontal scrollbars and the text to start overlaying the bottom bar
again.

Opera 5.11:  I'm guessing that this is what it's supposed to do, re-sizing
causes the text and blue bottom bar to re-flow properly, and the scrollbars
that appear to cause the body text to move up and down/side to side while
all the other elements stay positioned.

Netscape 4.7:  Surprised the hell out of me, but things see to work OK.
Text and bar re-flow sensibly when re-sized and everything looks OK.
Scrollbars move the entire page, but I'm unsure if this is what you want or
just something opera does so I can't comment.

Cheers

Alastair

Hi list

Wonder if some of you could take a look at the test page I have up at

    http://www.creed.co.uk/home.htm

I'm using CSS positioning to emulate frames but am having problems with
divisions "flickering" and content disappearing or not being positioned
correctly in PC IE 5.0.

Everything is great in Mac IE 5.0, so you can use that to see what should
happen.

I'd like a few people with access to other platforms/browsers to have a
quick look and see what sort of errors are being thrown up.

All comments, good and bad gratefully received.

Feel free to critique design as well, though it is early days so there isn't
a lot of it :)

Thanks in anticipation.

Andy Warwick
