Site looks great in all browsers except IE8 and under

HTML & CSS
1

Hello,

First of all, I’d like to apologize for my first post being about the dreaded IE, I’ve been hanging out for a while and finally need some help.

I’d also like to mention as a precursor that I’m using Javascript to modify some of the widths and heights as well as some of the css of elements in real-time to make the site always fill up the entire screen with a min-width as well.

The site works great in Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE9 and Opera.

Could you take a look at the site in IE6 and 7 (haven’t tested in 8 yet) and let me know what I’m doing wrong? Site is valid HTML4.01 Transitonal.

Thank you!

EDIT: There is one tiny “bug” in IE9, not sure why, but any height from the panel div with scrollbar is added to the bottom of the document. Any ideas?

Alright, I fixed the IE9 scrollbar problem, for some reason the #container div was triggering a scroll bar it didn’t need, so I set overflow:hidden for #container.

As for it looking ridiculous in IE6 I’ve discovered that even though the width should be set to somewhere around 1100 in this statement

$("#leftcontent").width($("#container").width() - $("#rightcontent").width());

it somehow gets set to 400,000px+…it doesn’t make any sense. I’ve “alerted” the math and it comes up lower (1100ish), then I alert #leftcontent’s width and it comes up 400,000+…

EDIT: Alright, got a little closer. Removed “px” from the if statements for the min-width and max-width javascript code. Now I can at least see MOST of the content on the screen…
