CSS problem in IE 6

Hi I made a wicked looking website and was testing it in IE 7 and Firefox and in both looked identical.

so carried on designing.

little did I know that IE 6 Evil or Very Mad was laughing at me! coz when I finally tested it in IE 6 the nav bar went down instead of across.

Not I have tried with my knowlage of CSS and nothing and it is like 4am and cannot be bother to search.

So was wondering if anybody had the time to look at my code

CSS
Code:
#navigator {
   width: 792px;
   font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
   height: 20px;
   font-size: 12px;
   padding-left:8px;
}
#navigator ul {
   list-style: none;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
   border: none;
   height: 20px;
}
#navigator li {
   float:left;
   margin: 0;
   height: 40px;
   text-align: right;
   width: auto;
}
#navigator li a {
   padding-top:10px;
   padding-left:5px;
   padding-right:5px;
   display: block;
   text-decoration: none;
   color: #003;
   height: 30px;
   border-right-width: 1px;
   border-left-width: 1px;
   border-right-style: solid;
   border-left-style: solid;
   border-right-color: #CCCCCC;
   border-left-color: #CCCCCC;
   width: auto;
}
#navigator li a:hover {
   background-color:#6699FF;
   color: #fff;
}


HTML
Code:
<div id="navigator">
<ul>
  <li> <a href="index.php">Home Page</a></li>
  <li> <a href="help.php">How to Use</a></li>
  <li> <a href="usernames.php">What's My Username?</a></li>
  <li> <a href="Forgotpass.php">Forgot My Password</a></li>
 </ul>
</div>

Ok I have temporaly solved it by using <inline style="width:xxpx"> on each <li> tag...
and removing the width: auto; on CSS for #navigator li

But would be nice if sombody could figureout an alternative....

Cheers dan.

It seems to me that explorer6 goes bonkers if you don't specify a width for elements, especially if you are floating <li>'s.
Width: auto; just never seems to work for me.

Yeah every browser has an issue... for example...

Firefox doesn't like heights lol

IE6 doesn't like margins (margins double in float)

IE7 ... (I donno havn't found one yet....)

And cheers sonam.

It worked but need to transfer more than that the 'disply' need width ect...

Usually when i make a website, i dont think about what it looks like in another browser till the end, then resolve the problems lol, so gay and long! There should be a program like dreamweaver that'll make your code correct for all browsers Cool

IE6 floats are easily solved with display:inline; in each element that has the float option.

IE7 has major problems with javascript..

I have never had any problem with heights in Firefox.. however, I do know that safari sometimes gives you a hard time with pictures Smile
