Horizontal menu and MSIE 6

We can also have a fixed horizontal menu with MSIE 6 but absolute or relative will be interpreted as fixed thus the menu on the left will be fixed too.
We will use two filters or "hacks" that only MSIE understands.
We will add:

/* start IE_Mac hide\*/
* html{
overflow:hidden;
}
* body{
height:100%;
overflow:auto;/*or overflow-y:auto;*/
}
/* end IE_Mac hide*/
Title for a table with 3 columns

Left

Center

Right

The text is hidden

if there is

an overflow

so that alignment

is not modified.

 

 

 

 

Title for a table with 2 columns

Wide column on the left

Narrow on the right

Centered text

Bold characters

 

 

Column on the left using half of the content part of the page with margins on both sides.
Column on the right using half of the content part of the page with margins on both sides.

What's left is to add all the hacks or use only the ones corresponding to our project and hope the next version of any browser will not destroy all the layout.

* Triggering quirks mode for IE6 can allow you to use devnull solutions for IE5, 5.5 and 6.
** CSS cutting edge proposes other cross-browser solutions without lists for vertical and horizontal menus.
