Border problem

Looks good in FF, I must say
(Is there a Web Developer add-on for IE7?

Unfortunately not, why would one need to adjust anything in IE?(sarcasm)...

If you do have the FF WDTools...select outline > table cells.

You will see that your left and right columns are not being contained inside their containers and you are leaving where to place this to the browser and then this is also the reason you see differing rendering between browsers

Crikey..

any hint as to where I can change this?

As I stated initially, this is a combination of what you have set for each element as to margins, padding, and border - gotta add all these up and the result is the space left available for content - then not also define a min for the container just let the internal size float. Each browser calculates these differently and you need to be accomodating to this fact and NOT define too much in your code or stlyes

I did take out any maximum/minimum widths from stylesheet.. I'm checking all the padding/margin now.

I narrowed it down to this:

.centerColumn

FF -> {margin: 0em 0.5em 1em 2em}
IE7 -> margin: auto}

Anyway to assign to separate browsers ?

Ok Forget about my last post. Things are looking way better thanks to you Kobra. Would you mind taking one last look, not sure why logowrapper extends on IE7, and why the space discrepency between bottom of titles (Home/About Us...) and the center column. I will see if I can manually adjust sizing for the gifs.

As far as the sideboxes versus center column, there's a slight difference, and they're not quite even, but I can live with this... for today anyway, loll.


I loaded the Classic Green template and it looked fine, so I did compared the CSS with my personal one... it helped a lot, TG for Web Dev..

Thank-you again,
Tatiana

PS should I be worrying about Safari, or other browsers?

Yeah, this is the acid test, and I am glad that you looked on your own as this indicates if this is a template issue or a file issue and you have determined that this is an issue of the template/stylesheet settings....

You are getting closer....might be quicker to use the classic stylesheet and adjust an item at a time viewing between changes(with a cache clearing) so that you can identify - by setting what breaks the look.
