I have a Mac so I usually do a cross browser check using IE NetRenderer and my div is not appearing on the site...just the background.

Can anyone help me out?

Solution 1

Looks fine in FireFox and nearly okay in IE6: however, without seeing what your css and layout is (show a fragment, not the whole thing) it's impossible to know what you are doing.

I apologize, the css is...

Start by removing the position: absolute from the div and footer: that rendered a little better for me in IE6 though still needs work.

I tried that earlier and whenever I remove that then the div floats whenever the screen is resized. I'm not too worried about 1E6, the IErenderer site was saying that it didn't work in versions 7,8 OR 9...as long as it shows up fine in those versions then I'll be ok. I just don't know if that site is reflecting the screenshot accurately...

Are you sure? I also tested with IE8. Looks fine, except one thing: central section is not centered on the background but shifted to left. In Seamonkey 2.0.14 it is centered, which I suppose is correct. Sometime using the tag "center" instead of style helps.
