I'm developing a website that uses several "pull
quotes" in the body of
the text. I'm using the blockquote element and a stylesheet
to set
apart longer quotes and make the font style italic.
Unfortunately,
IE6's rendering of the pages with blockquotes[1] is broken,
causing the
center div containing the text to shift down the page to
just below the
longer sidebar. The strangest thing about this buggy
rendering is that
if I click the "Restore Down" button and then
slowly drag the right edge
of the window to the right, the center div will jump back to
its proper
position at one point then jump back down as I keep
expanding the
window. After a lot of trial and error, I isolated the
problem to the
italic styling of the blockquote; when I remove the
font-style
declaration the page renders OK. When I Google'd the issue,
I found at
least one site mentioning similar behavior in IE6[2].
Has anyone successfully dealt with this issue? Thanks in
advance for
any help.
