 What is it about this CSS...
 
 caption, caption a { background: url(/images/caption.gif) 
 #69c; color: 
 #eee; font-weight: bold; margin-left: -1px; padding: 5px; border: 1px 
 solid #69c; }
 
 ...that makes Opera 8.5 refuse to show the caption - at all?

Its the margin-left: -1px that's doing it.

See ex.02 on this page for more details and a good test page.

To summarize, you need to feed Opera a 0px margin-left value via a hack,
since IE and Firefox probably need that -1px setting due to rounding
errors.

 Hi Ron and others,
 
 What kind of hack would that be that is read by Opera but not other
 browsers? I'm not exactly a newbie and I've given up 
 (thankfully) the notion
 that pages must look the same in all browsers, but but I'm 
 still having
 problems figuring out how to get pages to *layout* the same.
 
 Thanks for any help!
 Bill

Bill-

I'm not very familiar with the various hacks that can be fed to the
different browsers, but after much poking around and some feedback from
others, I ended up using the @ media hack to feed the alternate values
to Opera 6 and above.

The hack and how to apply it in this particular instance are detailed on
my test page [0].

Regards,
Ron
