Im a little confused about this. I have what i'm calling 'outer' wrappers with 100% width. The dark header, the content and footer. Within those I have containers that are 955px wide, containing column floats etc. How can one column of my content, which is 700px, be wider than the max 955px? Anyway, I removed the device-width meta, and the page renders correctly. Is it better to set the meta at a width of, say, 1000px in this case, or is removing it all together be a better solution? -- Tom Livingston | Senior Interactive Developer | Media Logic | ph: 518.456.3015x231 | fx: 518.456.4279 | mlinc.com ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@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/
