Hi Ward Most of your problems are coming from the standard box model problems associated with IE.
I see that you're using the <!--[if IE 5]> & <!--[if IE 6]> tags, I would probably keep doing this, but instead of having 1 or 2 definitions within the actual page, add another external stylesheet e.g. <!--[if IE 5]> <style> @import url(ie5.css); /* include in this one all the styling for IE5 */ </style> <![endif]--> <style> Then you'll be able to style everything that the IE box-model problem stuffs up. There is a good explanation of how the box model (margin, padding, border etc...) works here: http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/2004/05/3d_css_box_model/index.php And here: http://www.redmelon.net/tstme/box_model/ And this is a good one to show the differences between IE and standards based browsers. http://tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html Cheers Jeff Lowder Accessibility 1st Website: www.accessibility1st.com.au Blog: www.accessibility1st.com.au/journal/ -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ward Scott Sent: Saturday, 5 June 2004 11:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [WSG] Site breaking in Mozilla I have been reading the posts from this discussion list for a few months trying to decide if I should abandon my table based layout. I finally decided to give it a try and am doing okay...I think. My test page validates for XHTML and CSS, and it looks fine in IE6. Unfortunately, it is breaking apart badly in Mozilla 1.6. It seems that whenever I try to fix a problem in Mozilla, then IE breaks. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions that y'all may have. The files are located at: http://www.texasdha.org/temp/index.htm http://www.texasdha.org/temp/styles1.css Aside from Mozilla breaking, I am also curious to know if I have handled the #texas div correctly. I had a tough time getting it where I wanted it - until I published it to a server and found that it magically corrected itself??? I am curious why a locally displayed version would look different.
