So simple yet it doesn't validate.

You can't put the <style> element anywhere but in the <head> of your document. Start with that.

laugh.gif no problem.

1 thing I noticed is that you have

CODE
* {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}


Do you know what that does? If you did, you wouldn't be putting padding: 0 or margin: 0 everywhere in your css wink.gif

If you want the whole document's padding to be 0 you need to place that in your body tag one time...

If your trying to use CSS to center an element you need to add "auto" after your 0 in padding.

Oh, I forgot that ie can double the margin of a float adjacent to its container. So I set the margin to half of what I needed.

I didn't see your example/test but just wanted to point this out.

you can also change the display: block to display: inline and avoid those crappy css hacks because for some reason ie floats those properly, It just has trouble with blocks.

Granted, this doesn't always work for the specific item, but you can usually make it work and without using hacks in your css.

Quick google search turned up this for a more detailed explanation: http://www.positioniseverything.net/explor...loatIndent.html
