Wayne, It *is* confusing. But, yes, a separate stylesheet, loaded via conditional comments is the most future proof method. Not exactly what Phillipe is describing, but along the same lines. Perhaps this will help get you going: http://phonophunk.phreakin.com/news/?p=46 Cheers, Mike

Hi Rosie, The div's not misbehaving, it's the floated image ... but that's how floats are meant to work. Clearing the float by adding dl { clear:both; } to your stylesheet will give you what you want. Cheers, Mike On Tuesday, June 8, 2004, at 11:46 PM, Rosie Norwood wrote: Hi all, Sorry for
