Ok so if you go to www.mx5atlanta.com in firefox, it looks lovely. Everything fits inside the page container and everyone's happy. However, if you use internet explorer it looks like the attachment.
[attachment=9984]
The page container is set to a width of 1000 pixels and it has that little /ie 5 fix stuff already in the extra css section. I'm really a bit miffed as to why this is happening. The major difference I see is that Firefox allows for the inner scrolling of the larger pictures on the portal while IE does not. And I think that is what blows it all out of proportion. But if that was the case, then why does the page container width seemingly expand too?
Thanks for your time,
Jack
Here is my portal template
And here is the portal Announcement template that lets everything work fine on Firefox and Opera.
Is there something specific I need to do in order for IE to let it scroll??
