Due to my works website's having major compatibility issues with internet explorer, I came to the conclusion that the best way to tackle it would be for a full front end re-write.

Simple enough right?

Almost there, I'm at the point of 'oh wow! this is going well for a days work, it works in ie6, 7, firefox 3.x, firefox 4 beta, and google chrome. I'l just go update internet explorer and have a look....' and how it's like 'ARGGGHHH!!! I hate you!'.

The background color on the content area is 'lost' for some reason.
Does anyone have any ideas? It's a new one for me :chairfall:

I've sorted it now by positioning the white box relative. It's a known bug in CSS3PIE.

Ahh ok I was thinking lol. As for the colours I can't see your source code since the webpage does not load up :S. Are you use hex codes? Have you tried different shades or the web safe colours to see if it makes a difference?

out of office hours, lol. it's only the dev server.

I just wrote 'white' simply because i couldn't remember anything else at the time, still, not bad for a days work.

Anyway, as mentioned, it was a bug a css3pie and i just needed to set its position to relative.
