Just a quick overview in case you don't know what I'm talking about (forgive me if you do): The correct way that browsers are supposed to handle boxes is to add padding and border [i]onto[/i] the declared width. So if I had "[b]width: 500px; padding: 10px; border: 5px;[/b]", the overall width of the box would be 530px (500+10+10+5+5). Unfortunately, IE5 screws up by applying padding and borders as [i]part of[/i] the width. So the above example would turn out to be 500px, instead of 530px. Your options are to use the [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/1316]Box Model Hack[/url]... or, since this is for testing purposes only, avoid using padding or borders on any page elements that have the width explicitly declared. I believe that should take care of the first problem. If not, let us know. And oh, I'm getting some cross-browser discrepancies on the page. In IE6, the left column appears underneath the right column, whereas in Firebird, they're side by side (which I assume is how you want them to look). Again, I'm guessing this has to do with the box model. As for #2: [quote]how can I tell the other two to just take up the rest of the space?[/quote] You can't. It seems like a perfectly logical thing to do, and believe me, I've tried, but there's just no way to do this without resorting to tables. :( [img]http://omnizero.home.comcast.net/asylum/sigs/003.gif[/img] Loading...
