Widths in IE

[elementalgrace]

Hi again!Wondering this time if anyone knows much about widths in IE and how the way IE interprets widths differs from the way FF does and why this would make a table jump out of its div???CheersEG

Do you know, I've managed to fix it so that it displays in both browsers but as per usual I haven't a clue what did the trick. I literally started the table again from scratch and added the code back line by line to see where it was going wrong but I got to the end of the table and it was displaying perfectly.It might be worth trying something like this. I usually do this if I have a problem on one page but it's working on another page elsewhere in the site.I can only assume that I must have missed a closing tag or something somewhere (my eyes go a bit quiffy at 2am when I've been staring at a screen all day!) but it does seem odd that FF let me do it but IE didn't. Shrugs. I have an old version from when it wasn't working so I'll go back through it when I'm less busy and find out where I went wrong.Good luck

Yeah, I think the algorithm that IE uses for determining an element's dimensions goes something like this:

element_width = generate_random(1, requested_width);

I'm beginning to think you're right. Trying to design sites for two browsers that do totally different things is becoming a pain in the ...*ahem*... neck. I'm reasonably competent but for crying out loud - why make things more complex than it needs to be?
