I'm sure that none of the browsers did -- it's just that when something is too big to fit in other browsers, it overflows, but in IE, it pushes out the container. Also, IE can incorrectly calculate percentage widths and margins when the container doesn't have a width itself. I'm not sure exactly what IE bug was causing the problem since you've now changed your page. If you're interested in learning why the bugs happen, it's best to leave your page untouched while the list members play with it. If you want to keep working on the page, I recommend starting a new version of it. This also ensures that list members don't waste their time trying to fix a page that you've already fixed. If you've fixed something, please post to the list to let us all know. Thanks. :-) I also recommend not settings widths on headers, as you've seen. Set widths on as few elements as possible. If you can let an element inherit its width from its parent, do so. > Now my issue is that the floated column isn't regarding my 190px width > - just in IE again. Don't have a clue as to why. You mean the right column? It's the same width in IE and FF right now. Looks like you've fixed this too. :-) By the way, please be sure to trim out all text from the old messages to which you are not directly replying. Then place your reply above (discouraged) or below (strongly encouraged) the text you are replying to. Thanks! Zoe -- Zoe M.
