HELP with Layers and IE7

[slideri812]

Hey,

I built this site: Shawn York Builders | Montgomery Alabama (please no comments about the design, they took a great design and turned it into this, note a lack of tagging in the footer as I won't sign off on it as my own work, won't show it in my portfolio either).

The problem is with the gallery page and the way it presents in IE. It looks geat in FF on MAC and PC, but I for the life of me can not work out how to hack this thing up to work in IE. Please, your help is greatly appreciated. I have been working on this for 3 days and have only been able to real it in from margin-left: 50%; to what you see now. I was also able to get it to align where I need it on the top. But I can't get it where it needs to be and floating as the page opens and closes (expands/ contracts).

Thanx in advance.

I'm not sure what you are seeing. I don't have IE7 available from where I am currently, but it looks ok on IE6. My advice would be not to use if/then for relating to style sheets for different browsers.

First, validate the HTML. Then settle on valid CSS, don't use a browser detection script. Who knows what browsers or versions will be used by any particular visitor. Keep it simple.

I have to agree with that.

It looks like you are using cell padding which is handled differently by IE and FF.

Paragraph indents and spacing could be used instead.

Seems to be OK as far as I can see. The only fault I found is this:
<meta name="Description" content="PLACE TEXT HERE" />
<meta name="Keywords" content="PLACE TEXT HERE " />
You want to put somethings else in the META tags I am sure. I think you just wanted to show us the website, knowing there is nothing really wrong with the particular page.
