Hi all, I'm having trouble with a website I've done. http://www.theafricanbiscuitcompany.co.uk

The navigation buttons go miles to the right outside the wrapper for some reason on IE7 + 6. I thought it was just IE 6, so wasn't going to do anything about it, but it's doing it in 7 as well! Grrr.

Hmmmm I rather like that and the code quality is very good.

I can't spot anything obvious try dropping into quirks mode.
http://www.quirksmode.org/ It may help.

I couldn't get to the bottom of it, nor could I be bothered to, so I've fixed it using conditional comments and a different css for IE.

In Safari 4 on Snow Leopard it's making the page a lot wider to the right hand side than it seemingly needs to be.

Interesting, doesn't do that on Safari 4 on Tiger. Ah well, can't have everything, I suppose!

It could be in part because I'm using Safari 5 :oops: It's not significant, just thought I'd mention it.

Same here for me on Chrome Mac (both latest versions).

Computed style for the <html></html> element is 1546px.

I've not had a play, and looking at the code there's nothing immediately obvious that would cause the problem.

One thing I can think of trying is to remove a few of the fixed width settings. If you have #wrapper fixed at 800px, then the elements below it such as #homeheader, .header, and .maincontent also being fixed at 800px could be whats making Safari and Chrome think the layout is almost double the intended width.

Interesting, doesn't seem to be the case for Google Chrome on Windows and Ubuntu… :?
