Thanks for looking at my code and giving some suggestions. I'll try them out on Monday. Thanks again! I really appreciate it. - David -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries on behalf of Ethan Gruber Sent: Fri 7/25/2008 7:05 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CODE4LIB] Hi David, Firstly, it looks fine in Firefox 3 in Linux, but that's to be expected since Firefox is platform independent. Unfortunately, I can't view the site in IE, but I have an idea that *might* work. I have often had problems with the placement of a collection of sibling divs that are floating inside of a div that does not have its display style explicitly declared. You might try giving div #contentContainer a style of display:table. If that doesn't work, try giving the two divs below #contentContainer and above .contentColumn display:table. If that doesn't work, I can't think of anything else off of the top of my head without seeing a screenshot of the problem you are describing. Hope this helps, Ethan On Fri, Jul 25, 2008 at 9:24 PM, Cloutman, David <[log in to unmask]>wrote: > I have a classic IE CSS rendering issue.
