IE6win bug
Posted on December 12, 2002 @ 12:37 in Webdesign
Well, I bumped into a serious bug in how IE6win renders percentage based layouts (Tantek mentions related problems here). Simply put, if you use percentages for paddings or margins, IE6win will mess up royally, disregarding said paddings for some elements but not for others, plus it will interpret a percentage margin completely different from a percentage padding on the same element. That means I will have to rethink the layout for the groupblog for my course. *grumble* *mutter* *kick*

So that's what I saw at work when I migrated from Win95+IE5.5 to Win2000+IE6. Oh well. Time for another MS workaround...

Probably. IE5/5.5 has different problems, but you can use Tantek's box model hack to compensate for them.

As of yet, I haven't found any way around the IE6win bug. I'm looking into how to get it filed and fixed.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
