CSS positioning and MSIE

[rod1e]

Hi, I'm a bit new to all this and I think this is old stuff, but can't get any help at the moment.

My web page... http://www.ifa-scandi.4felts.com

works fine in firefox and IE7, but as IE7 messes with my anti-virus etc. I'm back to IE6 now. Never realised the positioning is all over the place in IE6 and lower...

Column "right" displays below column "left" and the whole lot bounces over to the far left of the screen when the cursor moves onto the "#frame" page.
Can someone give me some advice please...

This is the style sheet...


#frame
{
width: 650px;
margin-left: -325px;
}
body
{
margin: 0;
background-image: url(bkgd_72.jpg);
padding-left: 50%;
font-family: arial, helvetica, serif;
width: 600px;

}

img {
border: none;
}

#header
{ text-align: center;
margin-top: 15px;
background-image: url(bit_1.gif);
border-bottom: 1px solid #333;

try this:

#columnRight {float:left; width:450px; padding-top: 1em; margin: 0 2em 0 0px;}

ps, you should try to keep the properties uniform, margin: 0px 0px 2px 0px, this way you don't have properties that can render different in different browsers.

_good luck

Thanks again...
