div .posttitle Stretches in IE 6 [#213306]

Hi Michelle

Thanks for this awesome module so far its looking good!

I installed the module quite easily and after changing a few colour in the CSS I have my comments pretty much themed up to my sites custom theme.

The issue I have run into is that the .posttitle div is stretching downwards in IE 6 making it about 140 px high instead of the 20 px it is in Firefox. I tried fixing its height to 20px but it still flanges out and does its own thing in ie.

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and if anyone has a filthy fix... or even a clean one. My CSS is pretty sketchy but if I find a solution before anyone I will post it.

Thanks for the help, and the cool module

Mike

Could do with a link to a site with this problem to help tracking it down if anyone's got one.

You can see the problem on the demo site, check out http://socnet.shellmultimedia.com/node/2 in IE6.x and see how far the Welcome to the new site posttitle is compared to Firefox. There is also some sort of weird bullet point that appears next to "posted on" when viewing in ie6

I have tried fixing .posttitle's height in ie using the "height:" tag and the "height: expression" workaround for IE but with no luck.

I don't have this installed anywhere so hard to play with it, but there shouldn't be any reason to have height in there at all. Maybe change the span to a div for submitted or similar?

Also the 'weird bullet' is paper.gif which is only showing up in IE6, I'm not sure if that's waiting for a link to be attached to it?

I still don't have a clue about the .posttitle div stretching downwards in IE6 but the paper.gif issue can be solved by removing "url(images/paper.gif) no-repeat fixed left" from .post-info in advanced-forum.css
