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

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.

thanks for all your help. i think i've got it sorted.

for the sake of others reading this thread, would you mind explaining how you got it sorted?
