Thanks

Yes I was just trying to untable the layout (as per best practice for CSS), I'll try (and investigate) the float:left; tag

Cheers

Once quick note about css and tables, is that it is a very painful and pointless experience to try and replace a table with divs and css when the information naturally lends itself into a table anyway. Headings and general page structure can be done with just css, but data that logically should be displayed in a table (such as a calendar or a table of results) should use the table tags.

I dont know, what I want is three 'title' blocks across the page 20%/60%/20%, I assumed inline would do this (does in ie)

Hi Neven

Are you sure you don't want
position:relative;
rather than
display:inline;

Hi

I have a web site, I'm in the porcess of 'de-framing', 'de-tabling' and
'ajaxing' (hidden frames were used to do hidden submits) but am puzzled
by firefox v explorer behaviour

ie I am using divs to align things and have a series of divs across the
top of a page

<DIV id="PageHeadingLeft" class="PageHeadingLeft"><H2> Acc No:
2882<BR>KUMEU ALUM - Merv Test Account</H2></DIV>

the css for this is

DIV.PageHeadingLeft {
   vertical-align: middle;
   text-align: left;
   font-family: arial;
   display: inline;
   width: 20%;
   border: 0px solid black;
}

now the problem in firefox the following div breaks (ie it ignores the
display: inline!) but ie respects it!

What should I do? (other than abandon divs and go back to tables!)
