I am about to continue work on the philosophy department website. What I've accomplished while in Victoria, after finalizing the agenda project, is the following:

Analyzed the previous file folder structure and php implementation.
Implemented a simplified file folder structure.
Created a new banner image, using Adobe Photoshop, for the header.
Designed basic Philosophy website template which can be viewed here (http://web.uvic.ca/~lang02/summer07/Philosophy/www2/web_pages/).

After completing these tasks and testing the website in Internet Explorer 6 I noticed that it was interpreting the website in a different way from Firefox. After looking into this issue further this morning I believe there is an issue with the div sizes and how I am using "float" in the css file. As you can see from the thumbnails below internet explorer is stretching the center div as well as the footer div vertically in order to fit the content of those divs properly.

Internet Explorer 6


Firefox 2


Today i am going to debug the css of the website template and correct this issue before for continuing with duplicating the website.
