Very strange, especially as it displays fine in IE 6. At a guess it is a css display error. Probably not hard to find if you know what your looking for!

Hi Caroline!

I am really enjoying your blog posts and I see you soon becoming a blogging success story for us hardcore newbies to emulate.

But, it’s almost as if you’re avoiding making a buck (what’s the phrase in the UK .. do you make a pound?).

Why didn’t you use a FireFox + Google affiliate link through CJ? (Why didn’t I reference you using the FF&G link using MY affiliate link … lazy?)

With the traffic you surely are getting with your wonderful commentary and the notices you are getting in the blogging community you should be making some money almost by accident.

GOOD LUCK & keep it coming,

Jeff

It looks like the div that holds your header has a set height of 120px, but the content actually needs more pixels to fit in. You could try and change the css to this:

#header {
height: 165px;
width: 924px;
background-image: url(images/header-bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}

instead of this:

#header {
height: 120px;
width: 924px;
background-image: url(images/header-bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
}

And see if it helps… :s

Caroline, I had the same sort of issue with a nav site on my blog but I fixed it after eliminating various code around the problem area.

I actually had various problems in various browsers, so installed Opera, Netscape, Safari (now in windows format), and of course IE7 and I use FF (all of which show your nav bar fine except IE7, and I assume IE6 and IE5).

It is a good way to take a look at the design.

I had someone even tell me I had a problem with IE4 and IE5, but I can’t even look at it with IE6 since I am using Vista (maybe there is a way).

I will look at the code real quick but I am certainly no programmer, so I probably can’t help much past that, sorry. Scott

Shot in a dark. Add class=”topnav” to the tag that holds the Top Navigation links.

That was, add class=”topnav” to ‘ul’ tag. Comment ate it up.

@Jeff, the answers to all those questions will be revealed in tomorrows blog post!

Thanks for the link. Glad I could help.

:)

Firstly if you are viewing this on IE7, go install Firefox

That advice should be printed on every computer in the world ;) IE is slow, bugging and it just sucks!

Glad you got it fixed though.

Good to see that you were able to solve the problem. I never use IE, so I wasn’t able to spot the problem. Now that I come to think of it, the last time I used IE was when Firefox was in it’s very early stages — about 2,3 years ago I guess. I don’t know why people use IE. Even Safari is far better than IE…

IE7…you should switch to FIREFOX. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about IE7.
