RE: [WSG] [IE 6 Problem] -Container will not align centre to the page.
Thank you Hunt, I hadn't even noticed I included that xml tag. I was playing around with SVG shapes half of year ago and I grabbed the Doctype from that document without thought.

It tries, it's better than previous versions, but it's still plagued with annoying problems like this one. Yes, in theory the spaces should have no ill effect there, but IE disagrees... P Patrick H.

Re: [WSG] IE 6 problem
Holy Cow! it worked. Now, can someone tell me why that works? Doesn't this entirely defeat the purpose of end tags?

Barb, Make them block level elements with -- display: block; in your CSS.

Re: [WSG] IE 6 problem
This is probably just IE6 and its treatment of whitespace and carriage
returns. I haven't got time to look in detail now but two quick solutions to
try:
1. run the entire list and all its contents as a single line of code with no
whitespace - should immediately fix the bug.
2. create a new rule for your li element:
li {display: inline}
This works in specific instances but no time to check, explain or recommend
it at present - but give it a go :)
