 Im getting a float problem in IE6 that I dont understand.
 
 The URL is http://www.e-oddie.com/e-oddie2/.

The problem is known as margin-doubling in IE/win.
display: inline will fix that in your case.

On top of that you have also made it a bit tight in there, so IE/win
will drop the main column on narrow window.
A small negative back-margin on the float will help.

 For an idea of how it should display (the problem is pretty obvious)
  take a look in Firefox.

This should make it hold in IE/win, until the window gets really narrow.
Put it at the bottom of your stylesheet.

@media all {
* html div.blockRight {display: inline; margin-left: -3%;}
}

[WSG] CSS alignment issues

[Tatham Oddie]

Hey guys,

Yet another problem with e-oddie.com 
although its my first totally CSS site so Im happy this is only
the third with few more in sight.

If you look at the homepage  http://www.e-oddie.com/ - Im having problems
laying the content out. Im trying to centre the image on the page both
horizontally and vertically. Then, within the panel, Im trying to
vertically centre the text. Unfortunately Im not achieving either and am
getting different results between IE6 and FF1.



Thanks!
