hi there,
how come this does not work

Code:

#border-right {
	position:absolute;
	top: 0px;
	right: 137px;
	width:22px;
	height:97%;
	background-image:url(images/border-right.gif);
	background-repeat:repeat-y;
	z-index:2324235;
}

#border-left {
	position:absolute;
	top: 0px;
	left: 137px;
	width:20px;
	height:97%;
	background-image:url(images/border-left.gif);
	background-repeat:repeat-y;
	z-index:512;
	
}

in this container

Code:

#page {
	position: relative;
	top: 0px;
	left:0px;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
	height: auto;
	width: 1035px;
	z-index: 0;
}

thanks..

it works in every browser except IE6. At least Ie7 works..

any ideas??? or workarounds??

thanks

also, on that page, the 100% of the header does not work:

Code:

#header {
	position: absolute;
	top: 0px;
	left: 0px;
	width: 100%;
	background-image: url(images/headerbg.gif);
	background-repeat:repeat-x;
	height: 128px;
	z-index: 1;
}

( i get scrollbars, any fixes for that too? ive tried 101.5% and it worked on w2k3 IE but not in IE6...?? )
