I have run into a problem with some of the working group style sheets.
I believe the problem is linked back to the use of the margin-left: -4%
on H1, H2, H3, H4, H5. This causes the headings to start off the
visible portion of the page on mozilla 1.7 and IE 6.0 WHEN the width of
the screen is very wide ( >1280 ). Below is the original and one
possible correction.
## original
BODY { margin: 2em 1em 1em 50px; ... }
H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 {
...
margin-left: -4%}
## end original
The correction replaces the body margin-right with 4% to offset the H
margin-left. You can also replace the header margin left with 2em to
offset the body.
## correction
BODY { margin: 2em 4% 1em 50px; ... }
H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 {
...
margin-left: -4%}
## end correction
I know that those users that have screen that wise is small, but the use
of negative margin-left ( by percent ) should be depreciated if not
embedded in a block that has a corresponding positive indent.
Cheers,
