Centering and CLF CSS take two

Warning: this post is simply a rant. I have been working on two changes to the CLF CSS: one for centering, another for a ‘document’ layout. The first is what is really starting to annoy me. Why? Well that absolutely positioned right column is why.

It appears that IE is padding things ever so subtly different so that the absolute position doesn’t hold. I have tried a couple things and it is just more frustrating than anything. Could be the heat getting to me though. Anyone have a good resource for absolute positioning IE hacks? I could just call in a conditional CSS file just for IE, but the point here is to find a pure CSS solution.

Anyway, there is a test site:

  • Center the page – took it down.

No documentation as yet – writing it may help figure things out. Check it out in IE and FF. It is all valid code at least.
