Topic: Problem in IE6 with forum

I integrated my forum in my website, which is 740px wide. In Safari and Firefox, my forum is correct, but in IE6 I have a problem. At the bottom of my forum there is a scrollbar, see this picture :

I don't know how to solve this problem. You can find my forum at www.bendevannijvel.com/forum/index.php

Hrmm, seems to be a problem with the footer. Search the CSS, maybe you have it the wrong fixed width (or a for IE unreadable entry).

According to the Developer Toolbar for IE, <p class="conr"> is set to 60% width and <dl id="searchlinks" class="conl"> is set to 55% width. That's the issue.

And how do I solve the problem? In my CSS from my website I also have thing called 'footer'. Can that be the problem?

.conl {
    FLOAT: left;
    WIDTH: 55%;
    OVERFLOW: hidden;
    WHITE-SPACE: nowrap
}
.conr {
    FLOAT: right;
    TEXT-ALIGN: right;
    CLEAR: right;
    WIDTH: 60%
}

That's from base.css. It should not be greater than 100%

Re: Problem in IE6 with forum

That solved the problem. But now I have one problem in IE6. In forum/index the text isn't standing next to the squares. In all the other browsers I don't have that problem. See the picture :

As you can see, the text isn't standing at the same line as the squares.

I don't have a copy of IE6 handy and it looks just fine in IE7, so I can't help I'm afraid wink
