Forgive my frustration, but after a couple of
months with this Discussion List I've formed the opinion no browser will display
web standards - every one of them requires hacks of some kind.
I test on Win XP Pro with IE6 and Firefox - as well

I am far from an expert yet, but your
display issues are very similar to what I got the first time around using CSS
I discovered IDs rather than classes fro layers provides more precision.

Yes, there are slight differences in browsers, but these are easy to

Peter,
I have had a similar problem with the BHP Billiton site recently. It
looks like the server does not have the mime type for CSS set
