Is this the inline box IE bug I've heard so much about?

[n_boyakovsky]

Hi there...

Simply enough, I'd like to get my column widths (for the "menu" and "content" div's) appearing in IE5+ as they do in Firefox.

URL: http://www.cbaa.org.au/3cfor_web/ejournal_header.html
CSS:http://www.cbaa.org.au/3cfor_web/layout2.css

I've tried this technique: http://glish.com/css/hacks.asp but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Any help greatly appreciated.

okay try using this for ur css there are still some parsing errors but i dont think there are any IE hacks left, and the site looks pretty much the same in FF and IE, u will have to adjust the width of ur header image to 750

If you're using the box model hack to get your boxes sized the same length in IE 5 as modern browsers, make sure to declare the IE5 width first:

example:

#myDIV {
width:200px; /* IE5 width */
voice-family: "\"}\""; /* IE5 has no idea what all this is about */
voice-family: inherit;
width:180px; /* the REAL width */
}
html>body #myDIV {
width:180px; /* redeclares the real width for Opera */
}

I don't have IE5, only IE6, but in IE6 the columns are a little undersized, so I'd start without the hacks, make sure you have everything looking good, then apply the hacks to get things working in IE5.
