div#thumbnailheaders dt dd {float:right; width:100px;}

There are many ways of making a css rule so that different browsers see it
differently (do a google search for css filters...) but the way I do it
would  be like this:

div#maincontent_image{/*used as a holder and placement for main images which
appear on a page*/
float:left;
width:214px;
height:366px;
border-right:1px solid #333;
margin:0 1.5em 0 0;/*top margin for IE*/
background-color:#363;
}

div#maincontent>div#maincontent_image{/*for FF*/
margin-top:-1.14em;
}

Because IE doesn't understand the > child selector so it will ignore that
rule.

It's looking mint in FF!  Good work!!

Hi Bruce,
It's looking good but quite different between FF and IE...

Try putting a negative top margin on the image with the hand and key...
that
should fix that problem for Firefox. But you might need to make it
conditional so that IE 6 won't do it too.  From a design point of view
perhaps a background colour on the div id="maincontent_image" so that you
don't get the green colour below the image and so you create a visual
column??

Hey Rachel and group,

thanks for the tip about the neg. margin. Looks good in FF now but it
did mess up IE. What would a conditional statement for IE 6 consist
of?

here is the CSS in question:

div#maincontent_image{/*used as a holder and placement for main images
which appear on a page*/
float:left;
width:214px;
height:366px;
border-right:1px solid #333;
margin:-1.14em 1.5em 0 0;
background-color:#363;
}
