RE: [WSG] IE 5 position problems

I think that ‘breaks’ was a very gentle word to use – perhaps ‘is destroyed by’ would better capture the situation.   ‘how different could IE Mac be?’, I say to myself as I happily ignore Russ’s ‘building with boxes’ browser checking stage. Gotta get me a Mac.   Thanks Lucian and Russ for your time.   James   -----Original Message----- From: Lucian Teo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 14 February 2004 4:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WSG] IE 5 position problems   Looks great on Safari, but breaks in IE / Mac.

Now to move on to the mac – anyone want to have a look in a few Mac browsers and tell me the bad news? Go on -  it’ll be fun breaking another designers spirit ;)   BTW the working page is http://www.swamphen.com/testing/naturalgrocer/index4.html - it took some weird changes to a few padding and margin settings to please all the browsers – and I am still not sure why some things weren’t supported. Anyhoo…   -----Original Message----- From: James Gollan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, 14 February 2004 11:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] IE 5 position problems   Hi guys,   Just wondering if anyone knew why this layout http://www.swamphen.com/testing/naturalgrocer/index3.html was breaking in IE5 (severe) and 5.5 (not so severe). I suspect it may be to do with the box model or a float bug, but can’t quite isolate it.   Any help much appreciated.   The rendering problems are:   ·       in IE5 (Win) the top edges of the two columns are not even; ·       In IE5.5 Win the spacing between the columns is too close; ·       Haven’t even looked at the mac yet!   Works in IE6, N6, Firebird   Cheers   James
