Of course it’s broken! You give an element 200% width and right:100%…a whole bunch of crap which I see absolutely NO reason why you did it in the first place. Not to sound rude 
Try this
#left-bar_new{display:inline;overflow:hidden;}
#content-container2{width:auto;right:0;}
#center{left:0;width:auto;margin-left:170px;float:none;}
Then switch up your HTML. Place #left-bar_new in the HTML before the #center elemnet
The site’s been operational for awhile and working on all browsers. The slide show will be replacing the 3 static graphics on the bottom of the home page - wiseguysliquors(.)com/. That’s why I wanted to get a working version of the jquery slideshow, replace the static graphics on the home page and then continue to work on the test page to fix the rest of the bugs.
I know its a little backwards but the slide show has to be operational now. I could easily build the slide shows in flash, but the jquery plugin seems to have more flexibility for quick on page editing (with a future built custom interface to easily choose the ads to display form our sql db) as well as SEO advantages.
** I just created and condition that the new-slide page doesn’t get the <?xml …> line and poof! the slide show is working, but now my vertical nav bar is shifted over a few hundred pix.
We’re definitely getting to the crux of the problem. Any ideas why the nav bar is shifted ( Ithink this screws up other columns on other pages as well, but I have to leave the <?xml…> line in for now since the site’s live.
That’s ok Ryan, I have tough skin. As I mentioned in a previous post, alot of the “crap” css is from the original ecommerce skin (i.e. width 200%)… I’ll make the suggested changes and see where I’m at, thanks.
I cleaned up all the errors on the new-slide page and everything seems to be working with the exception of the navbar position.
Ryan, I tried all your suggestions. It did move the nav bar to the left but pushed it down the page past the middle content. I’m going to have to create a few test pages and redo the some of the css in the middle content. The problem is that when the software calls the many templates to create a page, its bring levels and levels of css and html formatting (overkill) and I have to decide whether its worth sifting through that to simplify.
Because the vert nav shift and middle content garbling when I remove the xml line (IE6), I had to keep it to make IE6 display properly. Hopefully I’ll be able to redo the css to accommodate, but I think the ecommerce company that created the original skin designed the css with the <xml line in place and created IE6 hacks to get it to display the same as other browsers
@Stomme Poes thank you very much or all your input, it has certainly made things a lot clearer.
