Well, what I have ended up doing is floating everything left. The example here is part of the page that is just 2 columns (the header), but below that is a three column layout. If I float everything left, giving all blocks a defined width, everything appears to work. As this is a fixed width layout, I can go with defining widths for each block. Not the cleanest thing in the world, but it appears to be working.

This is really driving me crazy trying to figure this out as it does not seem to fit with any of the usual IE 'features'.

I have a layout from a client that is pixel tight and while I have it working in IE 7 and FireFox, IE 6 is causing issues. I have broken it down to the most basic issue which is one block being floated to the left and the main column having a left margin equal to the floated block width plus one, which should cause there to be a 1px gap between the two. The following code works just fine in IE 7 and FireFox, but in IE 6, the gap is 3+ pixels wide which is causing the layout to fall apart. Can anybody offer any suggestions here? <style type="text/css"> #block1 { float: left; height: 175px; width: 179px; } #block2 { height: 175px; margin-left: 180px; } </style> <div id="block1" style="background-color: #00c;">Block 1</div> <div id="block2" style="background-color: #00c;">Block 2</div> Thanks -- Jeff what about just floating the second block right instead of having the margin. unless i am missing the point on this?
