When this... * html #content {margin-left: 0/* new */;} ...is placed in your styles after/below the ordinary #content styles, it will tell IE only to zero out that margin. IE will then adjust to the actual width of #content, and stop fooling around with two sets of distances/margins to the left which it seems unable to make up its mind about. --- Generally: There are a lot of unnecessary styles still in there. It is not necessary to write 'visibility: visible;' unless you have hidden something with another set of styles earlier. 'visibility: visible;' is the default for all elements in all browsers. It is also not necessary to define the same font-family declaration over and over again for each text-carrying element. If the same is used in the entire page, then set it once, on body, and you're done. If you need font variations; set those on the chosen element(s) only. You can also set such styles on a container, and they will affect all elements in that container - unless an element in there is given its own, specific, style. --- Validator warnings and other issues: Warnings from the validator are just warnings. The validator can't check everything, so it is telling you to do so yourself. Make sure such things as "no background-color..." are not creating problems - for instance if some visitor turns 'images off' in their browser, and forget the warning. BTW: it looks like something _is_ missing if I turn 'images off', as I can no longer see what the header says. In fact, I can't see a header at all :-) You should rethink that point, and provide some kind of headline-text for such unlikely visitors. That will of course also help a bit if I should visit that site with Lynx. The same goes for the empty alt-attribute on images. If those images are informative, then it would be nice if text-only surfers also could get a few, informative, words. As short as possible, and as informative as possible. You can test your page/site in text-only browsers by visiting... <http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html> regards Georg -- http://www.gunlaug.no ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
