[CS-FSLUG] dhtml frustrations -- IE

[Nigel Ridley]

This is just a bit of a rant (but if anybody can help -- please feel
free to do so):

I am happily rebuilding (coding) one of my websites from scratch and
figured I would try my hand at some css/xhtml and a bit of javascript
(all = dhtml -- yes?)

Anyway, I downloaded a cool javascript and got it working how I want
(it's a tooltip with graphics) and then I found a nice css 3 column/with
header template (with workarounds for IE) and started to combine them
with some of my graphics etc.
It all looks great in Firefox, Konquorer and Opera :-) BUT, in IE it
doesn't work properly. IE 6 displays the 'mouseover tooltip box' behind
the toolbar at the top of the page; IE 5.5 won't display anything in the
header (where the logo is) but the tooltip box works; IE 4 does
everything OK.

WHAT GIVES?

If I take out the css template stuff, then IE 6 displays the tooltip box
in the right place (I'm sure it's not something that I've done as the
standards compliant browsers work!).

What am I to do -- put a graphic: 'Best Viewed With Anything Other Than
Internet Explorer' and start the browser wars again?

Do all web coders have gray hair?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp..............

Blessings,

Nigel
