Hi Michael, The first thing you want to do before trying to pin down browser bugs or CSS bugs is to make sure your code validates. Once you know there are no bugs in your code, then you can start to troubleshoot individual browsers and find fixes if a bug does exist. Validation errors in your source code will almost always produce erratic and unpredictable results in different browsers. Since they each use different rendering engines, they each handle buggy code in their own special way. Here are the results from the W3C Validator for your page (41 errors): http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.syjmovie.com%2Fv2%2Fmovie.php Hope that helps. --Bill -- /** * Bill Brown * TheHolierGrail.com & MacNimble.com * From dot concept...to dot com...since 1999. ***********************************************/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
