Changing the Size of a Div Element in Internet Explorer 6

I'm currently encountering issues with running this code in IE version 6. While it performs as expected in IE 7, IE 8, FireFox, and Google Chrome, I face a problem where the message at the bottom of the SurroundingWrapper div does not stay fixed to the bottom when expanding and collapsing nodes in the treeview. Could someone shed light on why this happens specifically in IE 6?

        #SurroundingWrapper
        {
            position: relative;
            border: 1px solid #D0D0D0;

                This is a message at the bottom of the page.</div>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Here's also the associated sitemap file for the treeview:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
  <siteMapNode url="~/Default.aspx" title="Level 1"  description="">
    <siteMapNode url="~/A.aspx" title="Level A"  description="">
      <siteMapNode url="~/a1.aspx" title="Level a"  description="" />
      <siteMapNode url="~/b1.aspx" title="Level b"  description="" />
    </siteMapNode>
    <siteMapNode url="~/B.aspx" title="Level B"  description="">
      <siteMapNode url="~/a2.aspx" title="Level a"  description="" />
      <siteMapNode url="~/b2.aspx" title="Level b"  description="" />
    </siteMapNode>
  </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

Your insights are greatly appreciated!

Answer №1

Finally, after overcoming numerous obstacles and challenges, I was able to come up with a practical solution:

<div id="Container"> 
    <div id="ContentWithoutNotice">
        <asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" /> 
        <asp:TreeView ID="TreeView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1"> 
        </asp:TreeView> 
    </div>

    <div class="Notice"> 
        This is a notice displayed at the bottom of the screen.</div> 
</div> 

I then set a minimum height for the ContentWithoutNotice div within the Container div, allowing it to shrink accordingly along with the notice displayed at the bottom of the page. This adjustment worked seamlessly even on IE 6.

Furthermore, to accommodate IE 6's lack of support for min-height in CSS, I utilized height to define the vertical size of the ContentWithoutNotice div.

Cheers,

Pete
