the red shoutbox isn't rendering right in IE. It renders, but sometimes only half of the background shows. Anyone know how to fix this?

Yes, get a decent browser

sadly i can't tell my users that.

i use firefox and sometimes opera, but i have to make sure it renders in IE too.

Sheesh! That is weird, scroll down and back up and each time the red background renders slightly different.

I'll admit, I've never seen this before. If I view the source, and close the window... it doesn't redraw the background for the li's and h3!

hahah, i'm embarassed at the validation, i knew it wouldn't validate, it was created in about an hour and i wasn't going to clean it until i started skinning it into my smf skin. but maybe that is the problem.

Well, looking at the errors they don't look that bad - and most of them are ones IE should accept. No need to be embarrassed.

But, if those are all fixed and it still does it, I cna try again to figure out the problem.

It looks fine for me in IE6.

Wait, I see the problem. The red background dissapears when I resize the browser. Can't see why it's doing it though.

well, i've fixed the errors, was missing a couple closing tags. Still no fix, perhaps i'll use a table here, for the shoutbox, for some extra formatting options. blah
