Yes. Your margin is "8,4,8,8". 8 what? 4 what? In css, you must
specify the unit. px, em, ex, cm, *something*. Conforming agents
must ignore values with no unit. (IE is not, in this regard, a
conforming agent.)

Brian,
I changed all of those to px... but nothing changes in Netscape at all. Does NS
just not support "padding?"
