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

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/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.
 
Thanks,
Ward
