BUG between FF1.5 & IE6

[Jared]

Ill send brownies:

For some reason, firefox is not automatically resizing the body in order to correctly view parts of my site, but explorer works perfectly. This happens particularly with "smugmug-style" galleries, but some other things as well. Ive attached a couple screen shots to illustrate what I mean:

IE6:http://sharpshooter.smugmug.com/photos/139689976-M.jpg

FF1.5:http://sharpshooter.smugmug.com/photos/139689969-M.jpg

Also, if anyone could help me with my box backgrounds, Id greatly appreciate it. Once the black runs out from the gradient, I (somehow) want the black to continue on all the way to the bottom of the box. (Quite noticeable here (http://sharpshooter.smugmug.com/galleries), but happens all over)

...not kidding about the brownies! you guys are awesome

[Jared]

just wondering after some reading...Is it possible to fix my boxes by specifying second background and use the z-index to keep the gradient showing on top?

Or should it be easier?

stumped :confused

It's because of one of the first lines in your custom CSS.
You define a fixed width for the bodyWrapper, but it needs to vary in width, to accomodate the width changes in several of the SmugMug pages.
Try adding this to your code:.Large #bodyWrapper,
.Original #bodyWrapper { width: 850px; }
.critique #bodyWrapper,
.smugmug #bodyWrapper { width: 1010px; }Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

I really liked your last site, and am suprised to see your new redesign even better. The navigation tabs are awesome!

Thanks Again

Thanks AgainThanks! I really like my old design as well, and I still have all the code and artwork, but I wanted something a little more colorful. I spend quite some time on getting those tabs the way I want it, glad you like it.

wanted something a little more colorfulI know what you mean...thats something Ill struggle with later. Right now I just want to achieve a layout that is consistent and it seems really easy to change the colors later

Right now I just want to achieve a layout that is consistent and it seems really easy to change the colors laterWell, summer is around the corner for the NH, and I like summer. I'm not much of a winter-person. So the color is a bit of excitement for the summer as well :D

Yeah, it's easy to add colorful accents to your site later, don't worry. Let us know if you have any questions :thumb

Its always summer here in South Florida! (but Im new here ..still adjusting..)

Any ideas on my box-background dilemma? I dont understand how the theme Im using handles those except that it uses a gradient .gif... After that's fixed I'll be all good to go for a while.

#categoriesBox .boxBottom, #galleriesBox .boxBottom {

Try adding this to your custom CSS:

#categoriesBox .boxBottom, #galleriesBox .boxBottom {
background: black url(/img/gradients/large.gif) repeat-x !important;
}
well, it works on a spot like this
Gallery Categories (http://sharpshooter.smugmug.com/galleries)

but not inside a gallery like this (http://sharpshooter.smugmug.com/gallery/1955792), or any other

Yeah, sorry, I only did the boxes.

Add the green stuff:

#categoriesBox .boxBottom, #galleriesBox .boxBottom, #traditional #photos, #smugmug #photos, .journal_entry, #allthumbs #photos {
background: black url(/img/gradients/large.gif) repeat-x !important;
}

Awesome!

you'll have to come over for those brownies

thanks for all your help
