IE Height Problem - Content Won't go past the set height
Hi All
I'm creating a content page for my site.
http://www.ja.net/temp/Project/inner-content-russ.html
ie css =
http://www.ja.net/temp/Project/content-russ-ie.html
Ive spent a good part of the afternoon on this problem, just sending this post before I go home.
At first in ie6 when there was little or no content added the page shrunk, so i added the coding
#wrapper {
position: relative;
width: 770px;
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:left;
background: #fff;
height: 875px;
}
to my ie6 stylesheet.
However, if a lot of page content, the page now stops at 875 px. Would anyone know how to fix this?
I need to make ie6 expand with content. I've tried all different things with overflow and clears but none have seemed to work.
the coding for the content is as follows
.content {
font: small Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
background: no-repeat;
width: 610px;
float:right;
padding : 0;
clear:both;
margin-right: 5px;
}
.content p {
margin-right: 20px;
line-height: 2em;
}
.content a {
color:#FF6600;
}
and the footer below is as follows
.footer-content {
font-family: Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
width: 150px;
margin-left: 340px;
text-align:center;
}
.footer-content a {
color:#666;
text-align:center;
}
.footer-content a:hover {
color: #999;
}
I really appreciate any help which I receive on this

Hmmm... I know you said you tried the overflows, but when I applied an overflow:visible to your #wrapper it seemed to work.
Code:#wrapper { BACKGROUND: #fff; MARGIN: 0px auto; WIDTH: 770px; POSITION: relative; HEIGHT: 875px; TEXT-ALIGN: left; overflow:visible }

Yes, the overflow:hidden from your main css is still being applied to IE, so it needs to be over-ridden in the IE css.
