2 small problems padding or margin ?

  • Hi ??
    I have a couple of small layout problems which are winding me up.
    The first is Explorer:
    I cannot seem to get the top of the center column to align the same as Opera and Firefox? (its got me stumped).
    The second is:
    Firefox has a bigger margin on the right side of the center column than Opera and Explorer.
    It is also not showing the dashed border on the left hand side?
    I don’t have access to a Mac so wouldn’t have a clue how it looks in anything other than the above mentioned Browsers!
    Any pointers as to how to make it fit would be greatly appreciated.

    any feedback about site layout is also welcomed.
    Thanks ??

  • checking your site right now. I believe the first problem is because you have the center column controlled with padding not margin in the #content id. thus IE and ffox look at padding differently. if you set margin-top: 20px and take the padding out completely they should be the same in both.
    try that? i’m looking into the other problem. perhaps take out the left attribute in #content and control it with margin-left?

    Thanks for the ideas:

    unfortunately when I do this it breaks in explorer ??
    > if you set margin-top: 20px and take the padding out completely they should be the same in both.
    Tried this one also, but it just made it look worse.. no luck so went back to how it was.
    I might just have to live with it even if I don’t like it!
    I can do a work around with the dashed left border by setting a left border in the header and left menu but it was just bugging me because I can see the dashed bit in the header but the left menu is covering it up ?
    I think the center top margin is something to do with the header as it only effects the first post. just havn’t worked it out yet
    :off topic:Has anyone made a plugin which tells me how many hours I have been using wordpress for ?? that would have some interesting stats in it.
    Thanks for the input
    Ideas from different minds made great gravy
