I've seen a lot, but this is a new one and a doozy:
http://142.177.155.236/test.asp
This page is a modified version of Levine's Holy Grail layout. At first
blush, everything is tickety-boo. In IE6, click on the "Check position
of left-hand column" button to pop-up a message indicating the
x-position of the left-hand column. By design, it is 5 pixels.
Now, click on the "Change alt text of right-hand image" button. The
left-hand column is now thrown over 375 pixels, and the alert now
indicates an x-position of 380px! The javascript that the button fires
that wrecks the layout:
function changeAlt(){
var myImage = document.getElementById("myImage"); //A reference
to the image in the right-hand column
myImage.setAttribute("alt", "argh!");
findPos(); //Alerts us to the x-position of the nav column
}
By setting the alt text of the image in the right-hand column
dynamically, for some reason IE is re-calculating the x-position of the
left-hand column incorrectly! I can fix this with Javascript, but I'm
hoping that someone knows what on earth is going on and I can implement
a non-javascript fix.
