Problem: Various sizes, margins and padding attributes can display differently in Internet Explorer, this coded snippet can help you sort out these problems.
Add this code with your required settings underneith your pages <style> or external style link:
<!--[if IE]>
<style>
.item {
margin: 5px;
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
<![EndIf]-->
These setting will now only be loaded when your page is viewed in Internet Explorer. I often use this setting to tweak areas of my layout that do not quite display the same as in other browsers.
Problem: When trying to create a DIV tag and the height will not go below about 12px
Simply add the following attribute to the DIV tag
{line-height: 0px;}
If this does not work try adding the line-height attribute to a <p> paragraph tag within the <div> tag itself.
Your final code should resemble one of the following:
<div style="line-height: 0px; height: 5px;"></div>
<div style="height: 5px;"><p style="line-height: 0px;"></p></div>
Problem: Setting the margin attribute for any CSS element in Internet Explorer it will often appear either double the size or with added width, which can seriously disrupt detailed layouts.
Simply use the {display: inline;} attribute on the tag containing your margin setting.
Your final code should resemble the following:
<div style="display: inline; margin-left: 5px;"></div>
Problem: The CSS Light box script will not appear on top of a Flash movie, this disrupts the actual function of the script.
Add the following setting(s) to the Flash HTML code:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"/>
Also add this to the <embed> tag
wmode="transparent"
Be sure to add both of these settings for this to work properly, your final flash code should look similar to this:
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value=" movie.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src=" movie.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#000000" wmode="transparent" width="232" height="218" name=" movie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /> </object>
These days to keep ahead of the competition most web hosting companies do just more than provide hosting services. They find ways to provide cheaper services such as cheap dedicated hosting. Not only that but you can also register a cheap domain name with them.
They offer business software for free for a limited time to people who take up business hosting packages. They give away free dial up connections to attract customers and they offer services for website design as well. Not only that but they very particular about the people they hire too. They only look to employ the best out there such as cisco's 642-586 certified.

I could french kiss you right on the mouth... Birds are chirping, sun is shining... the double margin in IE6 was making me want to jump from a bridge and the display: inline; did the trick. BEAUTIFUL!

font-size within a div tag will also allow you to make boxes less than the minimal size

{line-height: 0px;} on the DIV tag! THANKYOU!

The minimum height bug usually shows up in empty div spacers like: div id="spacer" style="height:8px;" this is because IE is applying the page (or default) line height to the row. to compensate i just put an empty comment in all my div spacers: div id="spacer" style="height:8px;" works like a charm every time!

Just use Firefox!!!! Nice post - personally I do the yahoo reset http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/reset/

Pretty much all of these bugs can be addressed simply by remembering to do a CSS reset in your stylesheet. It's good practice anyway, but it also helps to eliminate those pesky IE 'bugs' (many aren't bugs, they are simply browser pre-set styles that haven't been specifically overwritten - hence the css reset) http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/

If you are doing height-specific absolute placement then a fix I found useful is to add: p {line-height:0.95em} to only IE viewers. Lines everything up nicely, especially if you are using WYSIWYG

Thanks for the info Joshua, although I do remember my version of the error working properly in Firefox so I guess i just assumed IE was the culprit, I guess its just one of those things you can never be 100% sure of :)

The Flash thing isn't an IE bug, it's an issue in all browsers. And wmode=transparent is only necessary if you want content below (in the Z order) the Flash movie to show through the transparent parts. wmode=opaque works just as well if your lightbox (or whatever) is going to be over the flash movie. Both of these are in contrast with the default wmode=window. And the double margin bug only happens when you're floating the element, and only in the case of a floating element can you safely specify display:inline without your block-level element actually becoming an inline element.

There's also the mysterious disappearing elements bug that can be fixed just by applying the style "position:relative". Details here: evolt.org/article/MSIE6_bug_with_floating_divs_and_spacers/17/23899/

Posted by: tehsemanticcss on 14/07/2007
the minimum height bug was solved on IE only when I used the
tag. But now it is my Firefox which is creating a bigger div!!
