Hi, I am quite new to css My first problem is I have a style which looks ok in IE6 but not in Mozilla Would welcome some advice as to what causes the discrepancy and what I should change to make the style the same in both browsers page is http://www.bloomfield.myby.co.uk/home.htm which uses css - http://www.bloomfield.myby.co.uk/braeside.css Many thanks Martin B. > I am quite new to css > My first problem is I have a style which looks ok in IE6 but not in Mozilla That usually means you're doing something wrong. IE6 is very buggy where it comes to CSS. You should target mozilla first, then work out the IE tweaks. Note that IE7 has a number of IE6 CSS bugs fixed, but it does have other problems. > page is http://www.bloomfield.myby.co.uk/home.htm Read this: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/box.html#box-dimensions And this: http://brainjar.com/css/positioning/ The width property refers to the content width, which excludes padding, borders, and margins. Consequently, your widths don't add up to 100% except when conditions are just right. That won't happen often. All it takes is a text size increase or a smaller window to mess up the layout, even in IE. If you're new to CSS, you would be better off finding a nice 3-column template that's already had the bugs worked out. Even if you don't use the template for this project, you can study it to see how the techniques work.

The backgrounds on the "quickies" section of http://www.tc3.edu/instruct/sbrown/stat50/ seem to be screwed up, unless I've done something wrong that didn't show up in IE6 or Mozilla or Firefox.
