Possibly Simple. IE and outlines?

[Irishjugg]

Using IE6 I'm unable to display outlines, is there a work around to actually use the outline element or do I have to code for borders unless a user has IE7 or better?

I hope its not IE6 Peekaboo Bug.

If that ain't help, show us your code, or better a link.

To be honest I haven't bothered to write anything yet, I wanted to check on the styles I could have because I am forgetful and visited:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/css2/sec18-04c.htm

If I load that page in FF2 I can see all of the outlines just fine, loading it in IE I saw no outlines, only the gray inner border.

His code is pretty darn basic, any idea whats up, I could code my page into outlines but I dont really have it aside from a local copy yet. Also I wasnt able to see borders for my div's. Im pretty sure you can outline a div cant you?

Just built a super simple page with the outline on a div and its good in FF not existant in IE.

There a workaround for outline element in IE6?

CSS outline, does'nt work in IE.

You'll need to replace outline-style with border-style which works cross-browser.

Hope it helps.

Hmn, well shoot. Now I have to worry about borders taking up space.... blah.

As an aside, could someone link me to a decent page on how to fix positioning issues in IE?

Im pretty good with CSS but Im very new to trying to design professional looking stuff and make it look the same cross browser platform. To be honest Im just recently learning how much a pain in the butt it is. I hated IE before this and now I just hate it more.

BonRouge is a good site. There are FAQ's which is also helpful.

Hope it keeps you going.
