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.
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. [ theymos's advice column | Ask theymos A Question ]
