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.
