I have some text that I have placed in a div floated left... The text outsite wraps around it.

The problem I'm having is I'm getting this stupid 3 pixel text jog error. I don't want to use any hacks... Is there a way to fix this so that I don't get this error and still have my text wrap around the div?

Thanks

Do you a sample page somewhere online?

I sent you a private message.

In the mean time, if anybody has any suggestions it would be great.

Never mind the PM. Here's the link: http://6dollarmills.com/free_non_instant

The problem is at the press release section... I have "click to see a press release..." and the google ad in a div floated left... I mean everything looks good, but I got the three pixel jog error... I wanted to get rid of it while still having my text wrap around the div like it is now.

what the hell is a three pixel jog error?

What kind of validator?

The validator in Dreamweaver Chris

How do we correct it exactly. I have no clue how to use dreamweaver or html

That's what I'm asking... It really doesn't affect my layout at all, but I just hate having errors, period... LadyRed, this would be a goodtime... Anybody?

Yeah, Its not that huge of a problem, but it makes my side bar and text overlap. looks unprofessional.

Ah, there's your problem.

Sorry, im not too sure what exactly the problem is.

On a side note, your background makes my eyes hurt when i scroll. If it were me, i would add the following code to your stylesheet:

background-attachment:fixed;

That will make the background static and wont move when you scroll.

This thread is becoming more and more bloated and yet no answers... Dreamweaver is not the problem... this bug only affects Internet Explorer... It is not something Dreamweaver causes... Every web designer knows that Internet Explorer is the ****iest browser and most annoying to deal with... Plz anyone-- I need help with this.

Exactly how does this "Three pixel jog" manifest itself?

Because I've just looked at your page in 5 different browsers and I can't see a difference.

they are a few other little idiosyncrasies but nothing that merits any major work.

idiosyncrasies like what Chris?

Thanks for pointing that out... didn't realize this.

The h2 & h3 heading format is slightly differently in IE than FF because of the base font-size differences.

Not that it matters in the slightest! the only visitors who will ever view the page on the same machine using the same monitor setup is zero plus you.

Ignore what the DW "validator" is saying. it's merely programmed with a certain set of conditions which may or may not be of any consequence at all.

This is a well-known IE bug, you can read up on it here: http://www.positioniseverything.net/...reepxtest.html

If you have a version of IE6 and you have installed the patches over the last couple of years, this bug should no longer be an issue as the patches/updates actually fixed IE6's box model. I wouldn't even worry about older versions of IE,which still have this bug.

Ok then.
Obviously not something that has ever concerned me enough to bother looking it up before then
