Hello Mats,

difference between the Rendering of Microsoft Explorer and Epiphany are to
be expected, since they are using different layout engines. Epiphany uses
'Gecko' the layout engine of Mozilla Firefox (although it is planned to
switch to WebKit, the same engine that powers Apple's Safari web browser and
Google's Chrome.)

HTML layout engines are the part of a browser that takes care of displaying
the HTML code of a website. And since not all engines follow all the rules
the same way, there are difference between the final output of the different
engines. However; Trident, the layout engine of the Internet Explorer is a
rather bad example of a layout engine, since it has difficulties with
Cascading Style Sheets. The Internet Explorer Version 6, for example, uses a
different CSS box model than the one defined in the standard (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_box_model_bug).

To make a long story short; using the Internet Explorer as a benchmark for
Epiphany is a very bad idea, since IE is riddled with bugs. Epiphany is in
no way bug-free, but you might want to try other browsers as well before you
decide where the error originates. ;)

So long,
Raphael
