(Arguably, it's tabular data, so there's not much wrong with doing it that way.) That would simplify things. However, the reason it's not working is probably due to box model differences. I suspect that if you add a correct doctype to your page (see [url=http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/]http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/[/url] - your current one is almost correct but not quite), IE 6 will switch into the correct box model, and it will also stop working in that. Then, you can correct for it by remembering the fact that the width or height of a box is only the width or height for the content area of the box. The padding, margins, and borders are added on to that. So their sum should be what you want the "box-width" and "box-height" of the box to be. To make it work in earlier versions of IE (IE 5.5 for instance), which don't implement the DOCTYPE switch, you might need the Tantek Box Model Hack ( [url=http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html]http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html[/url] ).
