Take a look at my code and the four screenshots and let me know if there is a way to make IE interpret as the others do.

Thanx.

sorry im not going to bother downloading your .zip, but anyways, the best way to make a site x-browser, is to use the proper DTD

ie.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

(more at w3c.org)

by putting this in your page, all browsers that can render the webstandards from the w3c will display your page pretty much the same

ie6,o7,nn7, and a few others i think

always make a seperate style sheet for nn4 using the @import hack (google it if ya dont know)

good luck

but ie doesnt follow w3 on css.... I re-realized that out today in a very hard way working for three hours on a temp but finding an ie iframe bug. Yea you cant put an iframe in a div and expect a % to work for its width... just so yah know. Ie is full of css bugs. View this on ie and then in mozilla http://knights.europe.webmatrixhosting.net/temp.html There are some goof ups on that page because its just a little test template but look at the iframe, hit restore down and maximize it again.

I've run into the same type of bugs, PeOfEo.

Besides, Bungholio, if you would've downloaded my zip (relatively small) you'd have realized that I'm already using a proper doctype as well as both my css and html being validated through W3C.

Any other ideas, folks?

Thanx.

I am just saying dont expect ie to follow the w3 in all of its standards, I wish they did but they dont.
