My search table shows up all the way on the right of the screen. I know there is something in the CSS that is doing this but I cannot figure out what. here is a screen shot emunah attached the following image(s):  screenshot.JPG (104kb) downloaded 40 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

Have you tried using Firefox browser with Firebug (or similar add-on), It really makes viewing what part of the code and CSS are controling things. All you have to do is click on a part of your site and it will display all the CSS related to it as well as the code structrue.
I would suggest you look into it, makes most of the questions you keep asking about CSS so much easier. |

Right. There are many, many sites and even books that document the different ways Internet Explorer and FireFox interpret CSS. Using FireFox and FireBug is still the right tool to use. After you familiarize yourself with the various CSS differences, you can use FireBug to find the elements and related CSS that is causing the problem. Edit the CSS. Then refresh the page in IE to see if your edit worked. Another option is to use IE8. It has some (rudimentary) developer tools that you can use to explore the elements and CSS. Using either FireFox/FireBug or IE8, you can click on the element that is out of place (such as the table surrounding the search fields) and see exactly what CSS the browser thinks is being applied. Once you know that, you can edit the CSS to fix the problem. |

Andy's exactly right. Plus, without the original code, and at least the markup output, providing the CSS only shows a third to half of the pictures.
I consider browser compatibility my strong suit and I still fall into strange issues. Unless you really understand what's going on in the way different browsers render things, you're just going to code in circles until you get lucky (hopefully).
I'd suggest looking at everything, using Firebug, and tweaking until it works, also keeping in mind that something like you're seeing in the screenshot could be caused by incomplete markup, CSS floats, etc. |
