    Default Problems with list in IE6

    Hello,
    Problems, once again, with IE6. I've created a list that for some reason is not viewable in IE6. I played around with margins, padding, and width but nothing seems to work. It does work okay in IE7, firefox and safari.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Here's the link for the page:

    Here's the css:

    I think I found the problem but cannot be sure since I do not have IE6 presently. Could someone check the posted url to see if there is a list present with a purple triangle preceding each line?

    Thank you.

    I'm on mac right now, but I'll confirm for you that Mozilla and Safari both work correctly.

    I am also on a mac and it looks good to me on safari and firefox. My pc has IE7 , which also looks good, but I am unable to check IE6, which is usually problematic.
    Any chance, you have IE6 on a pc to check this?

    It looks fine in FF and Opera.
    But I just checked - still no good in IE6.
    Whatever change you made, the building hours now show in IE 6 in the left portion. (earlier today they didn't) But the footer and content still don't show. It's just blank white.

    I bet it's with the margins or padding, or perhaps the triangle gif instead of bullets. As I mentioned, I played around with the margin and padding but without any luck.

    The hangup with IE6 seems to be maincontent. Try taking everything out from maincontent except the float

    #maincontent {
    float:left;
    }

    That seemed to make the content display in IE6 without affecting the other browsers, but this was just on a scaled down version of your page that I made.

    I'll try that tomorrow and then try to bring in the other elements, text and list, gradually to see if I can figure out what the problem is.

    Thanks!

    Well I got the list to view by adding an additional div. The only problem is that the triangle gif does not show up, only the bullets. Any idea why?
