Ok, i've spent 3 hours trying to resolve this bug with IE7 as shown in the screenshot below and have gotten absolutely no where.  Basically what happens, is the page renders fine, but then if you scroll down, part of the background vanishes.  Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Code: Select all

div#wrapper {
/*      height: 100%;*/
      margin-left: auto;
      margin-right: auto;
      min-width: 750px;
      max-width: 1050px;
      _width: expression(((document.body.clientWidth)) < 750? "750px": ((document.body.clientWidth)) > 1050? "1050px": "auto" );
}


Kill the height declaration in the wrapper

my savior!!!!  thanks barrie, i've really found some weirdness with IE7, it appears to be just as quirky if not different from IE6.

I wouldn't count on IE7 ever being a stable browser until Vista actually starts shipping.

And even then it will be a 50/50 proposition! LOL

Oof...that same darned template gaffe with IE7 was driving me up a wall for the last couple days  :laugh: (as I'm building a template that's a derivative of Andy's soon-to-be-ubiquitous master work)

Thanks, Compass!

Yeah, the 100% height thing is needed for IE6's broken box model. It got half fixed in IE7.....
