Sorry about the subject. That second bit is what I wanted to title this post but I didn't think it was very descriptive. Now, Instead of actually describing it to you in great detail I'll just say that Win Moz 1.5, Opera 7.23, Mac Moz 1.5, Opera 6.03 and Safari all produce more or less the effect I'm after, ignoring a few minor descrepencies. IE for both the Mac and PC produce garbage... (Oh surprise, surprise). Ignoring Mac IE, assuming that most mac people have seen the light and have adopted their browser sent forth from the Apple mother land... My only concern is with Windows IE. I have a pair of divs set with a 50% width, placed within a third encompassing div. Now sadly IE interprets this as 50% of the window width and not the parent div (or even the parent's parent!). If I try to set the width of the parent div it seems like EOMB goes out of whack. If any of you could take a peak and throw up some ideas that would be great.

Mac IE can be difficult at times, but it's a completely different browser than the win variety, and much much better. > If any of you could take a peak and throw up some ideas that > would be great. > > http://pr10n.lowriderdog.com/lethnet/ Validate your html. Do that before trying to troubleshoot bugs. > http://pr10n.lowriderdog.com/lethnet/styles/main.css Don't specify such small font size. There is no reason to use anything less than font-size: 100% for most of your content.

I think that did the trick. I set the row to inherit the width and then dropped the cell width from 50% to 49%. The 1% drop screws up the nice even spacing I had a little, but at least it all fits now. Mac IE still doesn't like it, but like I said in my first post I'm not too concerned about that browser. Thanks for taking the time to have a look at it. pr10n Glad it worked! I've only just got past the relevant chapter in (the excellent) "Teach Yourself CSS in 24 Hours" (SAMS) so more credit is due to the author than to me! -- ###################### ## PH, London ## ###################### > "Philip Herlihy" <foof8500@REMOVEherlihy.eu.com> wrote in > news:bpu829$7sm $1@titan.btinternet.com: [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > > pr10n |
