I hope someone will be able to help me. I can't get to work this website I'm working on in ie. It looks good in firefox, but in ie the left menu pushes down the middle div. Or, more accurately, they don't overlap. I tried to make different stylesheets for ie en firefox, but it still won't work. I need advise on how to build me ie stylesheet, so i can get it to look the same as in the firefox browser.

Stylesheet

Looks like your middle div and menu div need adjusting. Reduce width of both divs and float both left. The middle div should then float up against the menu.

First, you need to use conditional comments (google it) in order to target ONLY IE and the CSS file needed to contain ONLY those fixes.

You are getting the drop because of widths and IE's busted box model. The suggestion to use floats is the right track. You'll find lots of info on the IE bugs and how to combat them at www.positioniseverything.net.

thanks, I'll take a look at the floating and the website on positioning. Reducing the width of the divs doesn't seem to work though.. But I'll try some more!
