I'm working on implementing a new design on my website (based on the mock-up 
I posted about earlier) and I've come quite far. Web design seems to have 
become much easier since six years ago, where browsers had far more peculiar 
behaviours than now.

However, Internet Explorer 6 (being quite old, but still widely used) still 
renders certain things very strangely.

This page works fine in Firefox 2.0:
http://runevision.com/temp/new_design_test.htm

However, when I view it with IE 6 some of the boxes are completely white, or 
flickers white, and they also have a white, unshaded left border. I have 
really no idea what causes this, and haven't been able to find help on the 
net (I don't know what to search for).

Do you see the same artefacts in IE? Are you using IE6 or IE7?

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks in advance,

Rune

I use FF 2.0.0.3 and I see no problems.

I tested your site with IE7, and I see a couple of rendering errors. The
first occurs at every 'box'. It manifests as a continuance of the
left/right box graphics extending below the bottom graphic (shown in
attached image). I also get the unshaded left border at each box. All
these boxes are affected by the unshaded left border: 'Fractal Structure
And Some Red', 'Burn in Hell', 'No More Chrome Spheres Please', 'Merry
Christmas on The South Pole', 'Tunnel', 'Impossible Triangle', 'Red
Dragon', 'Tubes', 'Torus Fractal', 'Green Dragon' and 'Pens'.

I hope this helps.

Yeah, convince the world not to use IE :)

P.S. I'm still finding (good) uses for your Illusion include file!

  Transparent PNGs + IE = sucks.

I think "clear both" is buggy in IE7

Eep, that's even worse than in IE6! How could that happen...?

Yeah, it's all the ones where the image to the right extends lower down than 
the text, for some reason.

It helps me take it extra seriously, when I know that IE7 hasn't fixed these 
issues as I had hoped. :(

I need something a bit quicker... ;)

That's nice to hear, and yeah, it's basically just a projection, so I guess 
it is versatile. If you have any images online that uses it, I could link to 
them in my "Outside Gallery" if you'd like.

I thought it was fixed in IE7? For IE6 I am feeding the browser transparent 
gifs instead.

Yes, translucent PNGs actually work in IE7 (and, based on my limited use 
of it, they seem to work quite well).

As you've seen, however, CSS is still horribly broken.  I can't even 
tolerate doing any sort of web design work anymore thanks to IE. :(

I didn't see any solution I could understand in that article, but the 
problem was indeed "clear:both".

Now I've reverted to using some good old tables, and everything works fine 
in IE 6 and Firefox 2.
http://runevision.com/temp/new_design_test.htm

The menu items to the right are far more spaced in IE than in Firefox 
though. Don't know why.

Also, could someone with IE 7 let me know if the problem with the bottom of 
the boxes is still there?
