Lightbox v2.03a opacity doesn't span full width?

1) Script Title: LightBox v 2.03a

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...box2/index.htm

3) Describe problem:

You can view the example page here (stripped down to basics):

The problem is in IE6, not Firefox. Try it in both.

I really like the Lightbox scipt but I'm having a bit of difficulty in IE 6 - The opacity does NOT span the full width of the page. There is no problem in FireFox. I think the problem may have to do with a margin set in my style.

In my css, I have the <body> left-margin set to 200px. When the script is activated, the opacity stops about 200px short of the RIGHT side of the page, and the image is off center to the left. It's almost as if the script thinks the the page is 200px shorter than it should be and centers the image on the left side of the page. When I set <body> margin to zero, the problem goes away.

I tried to change my style by using a left padding instead of left margin, but the problem still persists. Again, setting <body> margin and padding to zero remedies the problem.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

A 200px left margin is a bit extreme. In this case, it makes the page look like it was made wrong to me, lopsided. There usually are ways to tweak IE 6 into line, though. I use IE 7 which doesn't appear to have this problem. One thing you could try is instead of applying that margin to the body tag, where it can influence the way IE 6 sees the window's dimensions, apply it to a containing division:

Code:

<body style="margin:0;padding:0;">
<div style="margin:10px 10px 10px 200px;">
