Hi all,

My first post to the list, how exciting. I'm working to get this new  
standards-based web version of our printed newsletter online this week.  
There are still some minor tweaks I need to make, but I have a couple  
of issues that I'm having trouble with. Of course these are mainly IE  
issues.

Here's a link to my stylesheet.

mainstyles.css

Issue 1
In IE 6/Win, on 4 of my pages the right hand navigation column drops  
down below the main content area on the left. Here are the links to the  
pages that do that.

fall05_vol19_num3/feature_manshel.html

fall05_vol19_num3/of_note.html

All the other pages are fine, and since the structure of all the pages  
is pretty much the same, I'm a bit stumped. It broke after I added the  
hack that fixed the boxes around the large photos in use on some of the  
content area of the pages.

Issue 2
Also IE/Win--On the red arrows for the "Read More" links, if the two  
words are split because of text flow, the arrow stays with "Read"  
rather than going down to "More"

Other minor things-that I don't expect feedback on, unless you have the  
time and feel like it
In the small figure images, there seems to be quite a bit of space  
below the caption on most of the browsers.
On the little camera icon, I would like it to align better with the top  
of the caption text it is next to.

I still feel like I'm getting my bearings on this whole approach to  
design, since I did have to get rid of a lot of bad habits from the  
good ol' days of table based layouts. And when I started using this  
approach in a previous job, I had student assistants to do all the  
debugging, which is no longer the case :0(  So I do a lot of looking at  
other sites, getting a base layout, tweaking the styles for my  
purposes, etc. Which probably leaves me open to a few faux pas here and  
there. I still have a hard time keeping track of how I am using padding  
margins throughout a site, so if anyone has any tips/tricks for that,  
they are welcomed. Things I will be doing are, adding the @import to my  
style sheet, working on a print style sheet, it needs to be proofed,  
and the links to the archives don't work and won't until I get it  
loaded in the directory it will finally live an.

Thank you in advance for you help...and happy Monday!

Cheers,
Kristin
