Floating images and DL's in IE

I created this page
(http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/comi...lishing.shtml; CSS at
http://home.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/comics/newu/newu.css) while
looking at it in Firefox 1.05 (Win 9x) and it looked like I wanted.
Then I pulled it up in IE 6 and found all my images floating off the
right-hand side of the page, regardless of how the browser is sized.

I've put floating images in my DD tags of a definition list (<DL>).
Is this a known IE bug? Is there a better way for me to float my
images and have it look good in both browsers? In the process of
getting the page like I wanted, I tried floating the text instead of
the image at one point, but that caused some problem that I've now
forgotten what was. Any advice gladly taken.

Sorry to follow up my own post, but apparently I was still floating
the DD elements to the left, in addition to floating the images to the
right. I've changed the text to not float, which brings the images
back on the page. This is what happens when I post at 1:00 a.m., I
guess.

Now, however, I have a new problem. For this page only, the left
margin and border of my containing div (id="border") has gone away.
For an example of what it's supposed to look like, click on any of the
other links in the box at the top. All those pages use the same
stylesheet.

There are several tutorials on the net showing you how to create a thumbnail gallery with floating thumbails which automagically uses all horizontal space available (e.g. http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/tutorial0407.htm). However all of them use images which are all equal in size - and that's not the case with my thumbnails. The method itself still works, however I want to center all the images in a row vertically with the highest...

Hi. I've just recently switched to using CSS (rather than tables) to display collections of thumbnails. That way, depending on the user's screen resolution and browser window size, the number of "columns" on the window is variable. Some examples of pages I've created this way are: http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~spm01f01/suspension/ http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~spm01f01/tutorial/

I wonder if someone could tell me where I am going wrong with this script. The original implementation of finding a DL list and separating it by dt | dd groups and making new DL's from them worked good. It found only one DL by getElementById. The problem I am having is now to process multiple lists in which are found now by a unique class name on the DL instead of getElementById and only processing one DL. I'm not really sure how to...

Hello, I am daring to stick my head above the parapet and ask as question. I am working on redesigning a website to use CSS rather than tables for layout. I have come across a problem when trying to float an image to the right. For ease of looking at the problem, I have stripped away other parts of the page layout, and have just included the "content" section in the examples below. The basic design of having a left column and a main...

I've got a floating div which becomes visible when a link is clicked. I want the div to be hidden when the user clicks anywhere on the page except for whithin the div. What is the best way to do this? Really, I only need to support ie6+ but cross browser is always nice.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
