IE6 not being nice to my layout!

N

notherbox

I would like to ask if someone has the solution to why I can't get a
1px divider on my right column horizontal lines, why the footer is not
showing correctly, and why my background image which keeps my two
columns equal - ALL don't work in IE!?!?
I've added a line-height to the divider attributes hoping it would
resolve at least that problem, but of course it didn't.

Also, if people can tell me how it looks on other browsers and MACs,
that would be great!
(don't let the colors scare you away, they'll change) ;)

Thanks!

for your 1px divider , I just just came across that issue.
It seems that ie6 takes a minimum height equal to the font-size of the div !
so, try "font-size:1px"
you weren't very far with your "line-height" attempt...
hope that helps
