[WSG] Rendering problem with Opera

2006-06-29 Thread Mordechai Peller
I remember there was an issue with how Opera rendered something. I as I recall, it may have had to do with floats and width, though I forget the details. The interesting thing was that Opera's interpretation of the CSS was technically valid, but just different than that other browsers. So,

Thanks David, this in not my site page. But one I was trying to fix for someone. It was a template of sorts with lots of fixes it only worked in IE. My Version of Opera is 8.02. I don't see the left Nav at all at 1024 x 768. The page is supposed to be centered on the page. I am no expert.

Take for instance 11.3 Provide information so that users may receive documents according to their preferences (e.g., language, content type, etc.) This can practically never be fully complied with, I'd argue. Well it's certainly possible, but as you say the practicalities mean it pretty much

Thanks for all the suggestions (and the link to initial.css Christian). But - the indent issue is still the same - ie not happening!! Margin-left just makes the overall margin indent. It doesn't make the actual text in the li line up when it goes onto 2 lines. The 2nd line still goes underneath

Oh - thank you so much Rach. I've never really understood the postion inside/outside stuff. I had them as 'inside' because when they were 'outside' they were too far to the left!! So now I've changed that and increased the lefthand margin it's looking fine! Something else learnt!! Thank you again
