Question Posted Tuesday March 16 2010, 10:37 pm

Theymos,

Recently I've received a message saying that my layout does not display properly in some web browsers, particularly IE (the person did not provide the version of his IE). From his email, "[...] the center column appears below the two side columns in IE."

However, when I did a cross-browser test, with IE6 and IE7 environment, IE8, Safari 4, Firefox 3.6, Opera 10.50, and Chrome 4, I was not able to find any noticeable problem.

Could you please take a quick look and help me out? [Link: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) ]

Thank you,
ThirdQED

Try IE6 with low resolution.

IE6 doesn't handle overflow (and many, many other things) correctly. A long link broke your layout. Notice this comment in the layout you used:

elements within the mainContent div should be 300px or smaller (this includes images).

Use a different layout that can bypass this bug. A pixel-based one would be easier (that's what I use), but a percentage one is probably possible.
