Nothing, I guess. But now that I've put the floats in, I'm getting no spacing between #stories and #nav on IE6. Firefox and Safari show it correctly (or as intended anyway). This page actually started being built over a year ago, and I had tried floats. Now I remember why I then went to

Thanks for the tip, but unfortunately, declaring height:100% doesn't work for me. I tried putting it on body, #stories, #container and nothing. I've realized that it's my #nav that's absolutely positioned within the #container that is the problem apparently. But I'm not sure what to do to fix

[css-d] Very Basic Print Stylesheet Question

Wondering what I'm not getting about a floated div (#art) that I have applied {text-align:center} to. It's centering the image inside, but not affecting the p content. I've tried putting the text-align on the p itself, still to no avail. You can see it on this page:

On a completely different topic, but regarding your CSS: Anytime you have 0 as a numerical value in your rules you don't need units of anykind. Only when you have something other than 0 do you need to specify px, em, %, etc. Also, you can use the value stated once when all numbers are equal as
