At 07:21 PM 8/17/2004,Ben Bishop, your nimble fingers typed... Hi Jim, You are absolutely correct - IE is displaying it wrong. You've set the width of the UL to 80% of its parent. You've set the width of LI to 20% of its parent. So, the UL is 4/5 of BODY and LI is 1/5 of UL - therefore you get 5 LIs to a line. What can you do? If you only want four LIs to a line, set their width to 25%, else add clear:left; to the UL. --ben Hi Ben, Tried the 25% and it fixed it fine in Firefox but now it messes up IE. :-( Jim * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * http://home.earthlink.net/~insure/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list getting help **

At 07:35 PM 8/17/2004,Nick Cowie, your nimble fingers typed... Jim I believe is all to do with the box model http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html and that IE sees the li containers at greater than 20% in width and Gecko sees the containers as exactly 20% and 5*20% will fit in 100% two solutions: add clear: left; to ul.navlist this works while you have 4 items in each ul.navlist, personally I think this is a little bit of overkill and would use one ul for all items in a box. or increase the width in ul.navlist li from 20 to 22% works in both IE and Firefox. Nick Nick... You are a genus, The change to 22% works beautifully on IE and Firefox.

Re: [WSG] Changing the DOCTYPE messes up the page
At 09:33 PM 8/3/2004,Justin French, your nimble fingers typed... Jim, Switching the DOCTYPE may trigger slight changes to the way the browser's rendering engine will perform. But I don't think that's the underlying problem here.
