having some troubles with this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.samingle.com/dontemp.htm">http://www.samingle.com/dontemp.htm</a><!-- m -->) page again. How would I go about shiftiting div#extracontent to the top of the document flow (just under the navigation) I've tried a few things with negative margins and floating the left content, but have came up blank so far. any ideas?Does this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/01/23/friday_chall/">http://www.mezzoblue.com/archives/2004/ ... day_chall/</a><!-- m -->) article help any?it is up there in MacN and MacFF, Safari is not, don't know about PCs. Amazingly, MacIE5 is actually trying to as well but only gets one link, then the rest are shoved down below.

I'll take a look. Do you want your header non-anti-aliased? Is that intended?

edit - here's a link I posted earlier today, actually, needing help with something lese. But at this link I used the same idea to get 2 areas side by side. You could employ the same technique. It's the same idea as what lavalamp has posted here.

edit again > this link (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.brookgroup.com/test/mvis/round05c/test.html">http://www.brookgroup.com/test/mvis/round05c/test.html</a><!-- m -->)Lavalamp, I've seen that article before, unfortuanately, attempting to apply a negative margin to the container div works when the layout isn't centered, but it forces the container to be right aligned for some reason in this instance.

TimeBandit: what link? and the header is just a placeholder until i decide what I want to put up therestill need some help bumpI must be missing something... It looks fine to me, in Moz FF. :confused:yes, but in IE6 its below the rest of the documentOriginally posted by samij586
yes, but in IE6 its below the rest of the document

Oh I see! Hmm, I've been working on it for a few minutes but haven't come up with a solution. :( I'm sorry, I don't know what the deal is on this one.Originally posted by Jona
I must be missing something... It looks fine to me, in Moz FF.lmao, you thought the problem was with Moz FF. Nonono it's ALWAYS IE.

I'll take a look, but I don't hold much hope.Sorry it took so long, I had to fix something else up.

Well, I just took Ryan's example and swopped a few right's to left and a few left's to right and it worked fine. Here y'are:but once you try to make it less than 100% width, everything breaks... I can't seem to get it to float correctly and be centeredHere you go. This one is of width 35em and is centred (even in IE 5).thats more like it, thanks a bunch... I'm sure i'll be back for more...Happy to help, but it was Ryan's code not mine. :)well, it worked in theory... when i tried it on my document, it ended up messing it up in firefox, and butchering it further in IE6... any ideas?:rolleyes: Can you take it from here?
