IE6-only; gap in page

[Mim McConnell]

There's a gap in this page when viewed in IE6 and I don't remember
what causes it or how to fix it. Help please? BTW, I can't post links yet so I've changed the address to use "dot" instead of .com.

Thank you!

I tried adding display:none; to #contentwide but that didn't work and now I have a phrase in brackets showing up on the webpage:
[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Never seen this before...

Getting rid of the display:none; doesn't get rid of the message.

???

I don't see any gaps anywhere in IE6 ....

The error message would be from the server's pre-processor - are you including anything in your code at these points?

[Mim McConnell]

The includes are not loading, thus the error messages on the left and in the footer. I don't know why they're not.

I'm stumped about the IE6 gap not showing up for you. I'm seeing a dark blue gap about .5" wide going across the page below the header.

Thanks for the help.

I do not see a gap in IE6 either. Could it be a cache issue?

[Mim McConnell]

Thanks, everyone, I fixed the error message issue (bad links) and I'm assuming it's a cache issue with IE6. I did a screenshot check and it's fine.

It's fixed!!

Here's what I learned from John of Explorer Exposed!

"The problem stems from the height you put on the header
div, which is 17.1em. That value makes the header the
height of 17.1 capital M's turned sideways, so if someone
(like you) has their text size different than other people,
they will see the header displayed taller.

I predict that if you check you will find that your
IE has its text-size set to "Larger".

However, the BG image used on the header is a px height
and can't expand! What you want is to set the height of
the header div to the same px height as that BG image,
then it can't cause this problem."
