Georg (and thanks to Susan Welter for suggestions and Mac testing) Thanks for the feedback.

Considering the whole issue of standards based design should we not be writing to current standards (i.e. standards mode) and then hacking where needed to meet bad browsers that we HAVE to support; as opposed to writing for bad browsers then hacking for standards compliance? By taking out the xml declaration it seems to work (almost, results are below), would this still work OK in older browsers though? This raises another question, assuming you are designing a new website (now in 2005/2006) for a B2B environment where expected visitors are mainly other businesses (potentially all industries), what kind of browser support should be considered in the design? I imagine most to be running Windows/IE (unfortunately), with quite a few on UNIX, and some Linux and Mac. Being a new site (and possibly a new business) there are no visitor stats so where do you begin, are there any current (at any given time) guidelines or recommendations anywhere? > To make the page working across browser-land, change styles to: <CUT> I tried your suggestions with the following results: Quirks mode + suggestions = good all round but no bottom margin in IE. Standard mode + suggestions = (same result as above) Standard mode only (with existing code) = better results than the original, however the background on #menu1 and #menu1 and the bottom #filler do not show until a mouseover on one of the vnav elements. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
