I added the properties to my zstripes demo pages (all 3) and made the width of the first column unreasonably small. I didn't see the resize boxes. I can only guess that you're seeing a resize handle, but that should only happen in text areas (I think). If that's what it is, setting resize:none should fix it, but I'm not sure exactly what you're seeing.

On my demo pages, the column widths are following the rules in IE9. None of the things we've discussed so far should have any effect on borders, graphics, or fonts. > I've heard of minor inconsistencies between browsers, but this seems over the > top. Is this typical? Why don't CSS and HTML just do what they're told? Ahh... If only it were that simple... Ya I guess it's kind of typical. Strictly following recommended practices (like avoiding using tables for layout) definitely minimizes inconsistencies, but they're always there. I think you're already getting lost in your deeply-nested tables and overlapping elements. This is why I created demo pages instead of trying to work directly with your code. > Well, again thanks for all the help. Any further direction here will be > equally appreciated! If I were in your situation, I'd start over with a pencil and a piece of paper. Draw a picture of what you want the page to look like, then add one part at a time. Using pencil and paper prevents you from getting hung up on things like colors and fonts. Those are minor details that can easily be corrected when the major stuff is in place. It sounds like a lot of work, but I think its easier than fixing what you have right now. -- Vince Aggrippino Ghodmode Development http://www.ghodmode.com > David. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
