have noticed a strange problem in IE. When the page is loaded everything looks as it should but once I scroll down or up I'm getting this strange effect in the right hand boxes (see attached jpegs).

Could it be because the background spacer for those boxes is a gif? Is anyone else seeing the same thing? Any comments/help would be appreciated.

Hmmmm...I see what you mean. This is a weird scrolling thing in IE. Happened to me once. If you scroll up and down these effects appear and disappear.

I can't think of a way round it. Disable the bg image and see if it still happens with a solid colour bg.

but some of the time it takes away the text as well

cant do that... the white border is part of the image.

Just do it to see if it's a bg image problem though. If it doesn't happen with a plain bg then it shows it's the bg image that's the problem.

okay tried it... obviously not the bluebox bg has changed to just a colour and same problem occurs

Baffled me then. Have you used 'z-index' at all in your CSS? Or transparency in those kiddie/header images?

no to both.
What I have done is to have a 1px high spacer image that repeats y for the div,then over the top of that there is a 'h3' header (no-repeat), a 'p' bg image (the gradient - no-repeat) and a footer (no-repeat and aligned to the bottom of the div).

Anyone else?

don't know if it applies, but worth having a look

Off-topic, but the new look is an improvement.

link

which is definitely the problem I'm experiencing but I cant seem to apply it to my page! FUCKER!!!!

trying the line-height thing or giving the divs a fixed width does not work?

gray · 12-09-2005, 09:55

html{
background: url(null) fixed no-repeat;
}

not work?

yeah the fixed width on the divs works... fucking thing. I must have deleted the width unintentionally. I had been checking the pages while building the template and css and I knew I hadnt seen the problem then so couldnt figure out what the fuck was going on.
What an absolute arsehole. Ive just spent the best part of today trying to figure out what was wrong. Just as well noones taking much notice

the problem with this was that I couldnt figure out what to apply it to on my page . It didnt work for html and other people on the link I posted previous had mentioned the same thing. So I was going through my various elements trying to figure out which one would have the desired impact

finbarr · 12-09-2005, 10:04

btw: does everyone who saw the previous design agree with pgo when he says its an improvement? Please say yes! I dont think I can take rejection after the morning Ive had

emil · 12-09-2005, 10:09

haha, it's better, still too "correct". I would've tried something more cheerful, and less rigid, but it's ok.
