    Hey all,

    I've run into a problem which I'm sure someone with better CSS chops than I has encountered and can point me in the right direction.

    Please take a peek at: http://www.epcc.26tigers.com in IE6

    Everything looks great until you resize the text and then "right_col" div gets bumped down. I could understand if this behavior occurred when upsizing the text however it occurs if the text is upsized *or* downsized. This doesn't occur in Firefox.

    I'm a bit stuck, if anybody has a thought or two I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks much!! -TT

    OK, I've managed to track down the culprit on this issue. It took me quite awhile to realize what was going on.

    The issue was the quote on the right side at the bottom of the page. In the original design the quote was in italics. I didn't know that IE6 has a problem rendering italics wider than they actually are and this wider quote was blowing out the layout causing the "right_col" div to jump down the page.

    This article from Position is Everything is a great resource about the issue.


    If anybody began to investigate my initial request for help, thanks and I hope you didn't spend too much time on it. :)
