Cheers Russ!
Not sure if my problem is one these though (probably somewhere in-between). My floats only work in Safari, not even in Mozilla. So, firstly, it's probably the way I've coded.

Hi Martin!
Generally, all modern browsers apart from the IE's will render floats ok.
The best article to read to find out about IE is this:
http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/float-bugs-1.html
I found this bug out the hard way a few months ago: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/doubled-margin.html
And this one happens quite often: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explorer/threepxtest.html
Having said that, it is reasonably straight-forward to build a column based
site using either all floated columns or leaving one column in normal flow.

Hi All
My first post! :o)
Conerning floats... generally, any tips about which browsers like and dislike them?
I've got the task of (re)developing a client's site from very heavy
table use, into a validating site. Hence, I think it'll take longer to
validate and amend the tables than it would to develop them with divs
and all CSS attributes available. Compatibility is for IE PC (5, 5.5,
6) and Mozilla/Netscape 6-7 (and I'll try and get Safari etc. but don't
hold much hope for IE 5 Mac).
Are floats the right way to go to recreate a emulation of a table design? Here's a URL of an example one thus far... looks fine in Safari, but hey, they whole world ain't using it!
