I am having trouble getting something to line up the same way in IE 6 as it does in Safari, etc. Please keep in mind, this site is under development, and has only test content.

On my homepage, I have navigation arrows on a slide show that display well in Safari and Firefox, but the alignment is off for IE 6 (have not tested 7 yet). Can someone please help me figure out how to add a CSS "hack" that will help me get the alignment right for IE? I can post the code, but don't want to clog up the forum. For those images, I am currently using position:relative css.

Again, the site has only test content- nothing meaningful. It can be found at Saint Louis-Clayton Orthopedic Group - Introducing the HiveMind Design

Thanks

1. Go here, and download
2. Include lines of code to activate hack:
Code:
<!-- compliance patch for microsoft browsers --> <!--[if lt IE 7]><script src="/ie7/ie7-standard-p.js" type="text/javascript"></script><![endif]-->
3.Test in browsers

It should be noted that Microsoft is forcing the Explorer 7 upgrade this month (I think), so while there may be some left out, most of your userbase will be using IE7, which fixes most of the CSS problems.

If you have a margin tag you are using to position elements. You might need to use a display:inline on the CSS tag, in some cases IE 6 will ignore the margins, unless there is a display:inline tag.

mytag {
margin: yes please;
padding: whatever;
}

needs to be

mytag {
display:inline;
margin: yes please;
padding: whatever;
}
