Hi David and Georg and Everyone

Thanks for your input, but unfortunately, starting from scratch is not an
option. I'm already almost a week late getting the magazine out, so if I
can't fix this in the next couple of days, I'll have to generate all of the
Movable Type pages and publish with the bug. The CSS works perfectly well
across all browsers on both the PC and Mac. It's only on Movable Type
generated pages that there's a problem. I created the code in 2005 and have
made only minor modifications since to correct problems that arose when
later browsers came out. I originally did start with no hacks and got the
layout to work in Firefox, then added hacks to get more uniform presentation
across browsers. Perhaps some of them aren't necessary now, but I wouldn't
know about that.

What I really need is for someone who knows both CSS and Movable Type—who
might have encountered a similar problem or know what might cause such a
problem—to have a look at the code. I desperately need to solve this problem
quickly.

Regards, Pabini
