Seems to work on this end in IE/6.0, IE/5.5, and IE5.01. Please see <http://chelseacreekstudio.com/ca/cssd/institute.htm> . The relevant selector is at the very top of your embedded style sheet: * html #mainContent {border:1px solid red/* 4 position only*/;overflow-x: hidden;width: 380px;} The star hack: * html preceding the selector targets lower IE. Both an opening and closing brace are there. The width of the main content is narrowed to account for the IE "box model, " (adding horizontal padding to the width rather than including it in the width like compliant browsers); and, overflow-x: hidden; added to correct horizontal expansion of the content block. The red rule (border) is simply for the convenience of positioning -- to see what is where in the lower IEs -- delete it in the final version. You (and the w3c validation service) will see this CSS comment just below chrome above the header: /* ---------------------------------begin body ---------------------------- */ Either delete it or set as an html comment, like so: <!-- begin body --> ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] 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/
