To follow-up on Eric's message and Todd's withheld rant about the IE 4.0 Mac release: The attribute margin-left using percent or em units seems to be wonky as well, the left margin appears about 40% of the way across the page. <HTML><HEAD><title>test</title></HEAD> <body style="margin-left: 20%;"> <p>a test case</p> </body> </html> Try various percentages and it looks as if IE multiplies the margin-left value by a factor of two when it displays the body. Using px, margin-left works as advertised. Of course, following Todd's exhortations, I would rather use relative values than absolutes. On the other hand, a DHTML demo I wrote under IE 4.0 (Win95) behaved correctly (as far as I understand) on IE 4.0 Mac. So I wont rant, but I will grumble about having to do increasing convolutions to support style sheets.
