Of course they do, since your DTD does not put any browser into standards mode. In Quirks mode, in which browsers will render your page, Internet has the CSS box model *wrong* and will render different from any other modern browser. The first thing you have to do is put in a DTD that puts browsers into standards mode. Then you'll have a chance. There will still be problems with IE, but nowhere near as bad. Then you have to make your markup *valid*. Do those two things and you'll begin to have a chance of getting your code to render properly. Do neither or one and you don't really stand a chance. > See for example http://www50.brinkster.com/splintor/widthtest.html, > 1. Who is right on this - FF or IE? It seems like a bug in Firefox, In 99.99999% of the cases Firefox will be right and IE will be wrong. IE was designed in 2001 with little regard for standards and no fixes in compliance have been made since them. Firefox is updated regularly and the designers try to get CSS right and fix bugs when they find them. IE7 may fix this, but it's still in beta and you shouldn't be designing for it yet, IMHO.
