Adam,
I had a quick look in IE 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and both pages looked the same on all
three.
On IE6 Win the heading drops below the main photo, but on FF it doesn't. I
would start by getting the rendering the same on IE6 and FF and then see what's
happening with IE5 Mac.
General comments:
1. Where are your paragraph tags? Why are you using <br /><br /> instead?
2. What is the point of all the class="list" in your list items? Drop the class
and style them with '#navigation li {...}'
3. You are really making things tough for yourself with the excessive CSS
hacks. As far as I can see, You don't need any of the min-height stuff - just
clear:both your columns and you'll be fine. Secondly, you are using "html>body"
selectors for FF pretty much everywhere you've set a padding on an element.
Here's a tip: don't set width and padding for the same element, and you won't
need box model hacks. In your case, set the width of the columns, then set
*margins* on the column contents (including the missing <p> tags).
I suspect your original problem will disappear if you fix these other things
first.
Cheers,
Geoff
