Peter,

Nice design!

I've noticed in previous layouts that I have done, that Mac IE 5 needs every
float to have an accompanying width or it does crap out. 

I've also noticed that if the width is within the "voice family" hack, as it
is in some of your CSS, then Mac IE 5 tends to ignore it.

The solution I have used is either to send another stylesheet to Mac IE 5,
by doing something like:

@import 'stylesheet.css';       /* for everyone but mac ie 5 */
@im\port "macstylesheet.css";   /* for mac ie5 */

...which is another hack and probably not the best solution.

Or you could try to get rid of the "voice family" hacks. This would probably
involve using a strict doctype though, and may be a bit more work.

A great resource on Mac IE 5 CSS bugs can be found at:

Once again - great looking site! Well done!

Subject: [WSG] stumped by these ones



Hope someone can help me with these last problems - I'm stumped.

See

http://www.universalhead.com/clients/jands/

Everything's fine in Safari, Mac Mozilla Firebird, Win Netscape7.1 and Win
IE5.

In Win IE 6 the bottom right-hand image goes down underneath the 
others. I've tried everything and can't find a solution.
In Mac IE5.2 the whole layout breaks, and I have no idea why.

Please help! I'm at the home stretch and this is the last hurdle!

CSS is at

It's a picky business this CSS ain't it?
Many, many thanks,
--
