Hi Cole, As far as I know there is not, probably because browsers have different implementations of CSS properties. I think that best way to do it is to know the CSS properties and which elements they theoretically apply to and then experiment. Take your example - padding: 0; - for instance

Hi y'all, I rewrote part of my site at the weekend and coded XHTML examples in pre elements. The width of the content area is 400px. I need to display examples of code that are wider. Keeping the white space is very useful too. Example: pre #menu span {position:absolute; visibility:hidden;

Hi, most problems occur because people do not create good/logical datatables. Also in this case it is not logical to put columnheaders at different places within a datatable. A simple solution here is to use a row header instead of the column header. The subheaders span all the columns, so it

Hi Wayne, The problem you face in IE is that its box model is slightly differently implemented than the other browsers. In your case it means that the spotlight box on the left is larger than you expect it to be and it pushes the hubs div down. Change the hubs CSS file to use 90% width for the

Removing width: 100%;, fixes the problem in IE, but causes the table to shift to the left in Mozilla/Firefox and Opera. I changed the margin on /#main #hubs table/ to be 0 for top/bottom and auto for the sides. This seems to fix all the problems. Final, Edited CSS from /hubs.css/: #main #hubs
