I don't really se the point in custom scroll bars do they actually serve any REAL purpose?

A lot of things changed in Netscape 7. Many css problems I had before disapeared. Still, it still won't do custom scroll bars. >_<

Yes especially remember the problems with adding borders, padding, and margins for IE5. Renegade I noticed that since you designed for version 6 browsers your site looked distorted in ie5. This can be helped by putting a div inside a div.

Be careful with that. The majority of surfers still use IE, so don't just forget it entirely. What you want is to design first for Moz/Opera (standards-compliant), then fix the code to work with IE's quirks too.

Well 2 tips that I find usefull

1, design for mozilla nad opera because if it looks good there then chances are it'll look good anywhere
2, it also helped me by setting

body {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

that way it gets rid of the default page margins and padding (that IE sets)

#sidebarRight
	{position: absolute
	;top: 107px
	;margin: 0px
	;right: 0px
	;padding: 10px 10px 50px 10px
	;width: 165px
	;height: auto
	;background-color: #dda /* #cc9 */
	;border-top: 1px solid #000
	;border-bottom: 1px solid #000
	;border-left: 1px solid #000
	;voice-family: "\"}\""
	;voice-family: inherit
	;width: 165px}

I assume you've validated your code and fixed all errors?

Here's what I think the problem is -- the margins and padding. First off, margin should be margin: 0; not margin: 0px;, but that shouldn't affect things. I think that the issue is maybe the way IE adds padding?

I do everything in my power to avoid doing things that require precise pixel precision, but try checking out css-discuss.org for similar problems, and glish.com/css/ for template samples (and links to more) that may resolve your problem.

#sidebarRight is absolutely positioned, but it's compatriot, #weblogEntriesDiv, isn't...

#weblogEntriesDiv /* This is the main 
panel that displays weblog entries, all
 inclusive. */
	{margin: 10px 195px 20px 0px
	;padding: 10px
	;background-color: #ffe
	;border: 1px solid #000}

Have you tried using float instead of absolute positioning? I find it more cross-browser.

sidebarRight is the one that's having the problem.

Suzanne — Mon, 06 Jan 2003 18:18:25 +0000

hmm... see you are using that elsewhere. which id is the problem?

IE has a broken box type, try using Tantek's box model hack?
