thanks very much for your solution - it works perfectly. Could you
please explain how the margin works with IE6? I wonder how the top
margin eliminates the left margin when I apply it. Thank you.
Not sure I understand your question - which margin eliminates what,
since there's a zero margin-left on the paragraph in my example.
The paragraph is "hanging on" its right margin - floated right with a
declared width, which means a left margin isn't needed.
That's the "trick", and would work the same in all browsers - if they
could "see" these styles.
IE6 ignores margin-bottom on floats in your line-up - an IE6 bug, so I
instead introduced margin-top for both the paragraph and the dl to
preserve the vertical spacing and line-up.
The negative margin on the floated ol then compensates for these top
margins that are pushing the whole line-up downwards, by moving the
entire ol upwards.
BTW: your page suffers from the "em font-resizing bug in IE5 - IE7"[1].
