Debbie:
Part of the problem you are facing is the way different browsers
handle positioning -- it's not consistent across all browsers
(versions of IE act differently).
As for me, I needed to place something on my page such that it was
they way I wanted for all browsers -- the following was _my_ solution.
First, I set a width for IE6, then I faked it out by setting a
different width for IE5, and finally I faked the IE's out by setting
a width for everything else. This worked for me.
#name
{
position: absolute;
top: 2em;
left: 28.6em; /* set width for IE 6 */
left /**/: 23.1em; /* set width for IE5 (IE 6
will not see this) */
}
html>body #name
{
left: 29em; /* set width for ALL others (IE's will not see this) */
}
As for any differences between FF and Opera, I haven't had to deal with that.
