Cures for box model problems depends on doctype among other things. We need to see your creation with at least some dummy-content, before recommending a safe solution. If DTD = XHTML, then one, recommended, way to deal with box model problems in IE6 is to delete the <XML declaration. Ref: <http://www.w3.org/International/articles/serving-xhtml/> Regardless of DTD and what not: - Keep your styles in a state where layout appears as you want it in Firefox. - Get a "second opinion" from Opera (and other good browsers) just to make sure. Reliable cross-browser solutions should never rely on what any, single, browser renders, since none of them are entirely flawless. - Prepare some extra styles and tweaks for IE/win, and keep those separate so only IE/win up to and including IE6 can see/understand them. That's the way most of us are dealing with all kinds of differences between IE/win and the other browsers. regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
