I recently noticed that Firefox and IE don't handle
CSS the same way. I ended up changing the HTML on a
product documentation CD because Firefox seemed to
completely ignore the CSS file.
In the HTML files, I replaced the link to the CSS with
the actual CSS data, and this made the pages display
the same way in both IE and Firefox.
It's a dreadfully inelegant solution, but it's a
solution nonetheless.
Yours in HTML klugery,
