Hello, I tried your code. What worked for me is giving the right div a "float:right;" It worked for both IE6 and FF.

I set the left column to float left with a width of 400px. The right column is set with a margin-left of 400px and a width of 200px. The width of the wrapper container is 600px. The right column is getting pushed down in IE6+. If I remove the px from the width of the right column so the style reads simply width:200; then the right column lines up correctly with the left column. I've never heard of this before and it makes no sense to me. You can see my code below with the problem in bold. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css" media="screen"> body { padding:0; margin:0; } #wrapper { width:600px; margin:10px auto; } #left { float:left; width:400px; } #right { width:200; /* if I put a unit here such as "px" then the column doesn't line up */ margin-left:400px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="left"> left side text </div> <div id="right"> right side text </div> </div> </body> </html> Thanks for you help. /*************************/ [ Michael Turnwall ] <http://www.houseofmirage.com/blog> weblog | <http://www.houseofmirage.com/resume.htm> resume /*************************/ -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ Proud presenters of Web Essentials 04 http://we04.com/ Web standards, accessibility, inspiration, knowledge To be held in Sydney, September 30 and October 1, 2004 See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
