Hello,

When I test my website in IE6 my two column layout has become one. Works fine in IE7 and Firefox. Any debug for IE6 please?

I had a look at your code and it is a bit of a mess. You should keep your javascript in separate files/folders and try to avoid using DW to auto-code your site for you as this will cause more problems than solutions.

Your site also looks like a 1col in Safari on Mac too so it isn't just an IE6 problem.

Thanks for the feedback. Well I can separate the javascript into separate files and as I learn more can tidy up the code. I have heard that DW adds a lot of extra coding just need to dispher what's necessary I guess.

Could the one column issue be something to do with floats?

Is this what your site is looking like in IE?

It looks like it isn't loading the stylesheet to me... but why it is not loading the style sheet in Safari and IE is beyond me...

Hmmmm odd one... try generally tidying up your header and placing your link to the external css file at the top of the header tag before you start getting into the META stuff.

Really odd...

This is what I'm getting. I'm using IETester software to check, can you recommend one for Safari.

try using Browsershots.org to test on multiple browsers Carol.

It looks like you have the site loading the css, but have some IE double margin problems (margins doubling up when floated, it is a common IE problem) - clean up the header initially and then re-post and I will take a look for you

Hello,

I've tidied up the header but I'm afraid it didn't really sort out the problem. It'll great if you could take a look at doubled up margins... :huh:

Thanks
