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.
