Ignorance can be bliss

Well I seem to be making some progress on the design side of things. The only hitch is that I've recently been made aware of the fact that Internet Explorer and Firefox use different methods to interpret margin commands in css. As I firstly code for the browser that I use, which is Firefox, all the alignments and spacings are displayed correctly in that browser. Explorer on the other hand is messing something up somewhere, which is why the first column appears at an incorrect width under the header graphic. I'll get around to finding the offending bit of stylesheet code soon, I just don't have the time right now. I found it. It's the padding settings, not the margins. I think IE works out the padding width from the borders inward, while Firefox works them from the borders outward. Hmmm. I may have to resize the header.

Will be back after work. In the mean time draw what conclusions you will from my bedside drawer.

Post Script: All is now good in both browsers.
