I've made some changes. How's it now in IE6? Browsercam won't let me
back in.
Better, but a lot of it still centered.

You have a number of errors in your HTML. First step is to fix those.
http://validator.w3.org/
OK, I checked there and got error(s) alright. All the pages are fine
EXCEPT for this code that Yahoo is appending dynamically at the EOF
</html>:
Ah, yes. I didn't really look at it that closely, just noticed you had
errors.
WTF!? I doubt I'll be able to get them to do anything about it. I run
Probably not.
all my local code through two layers of syntax check and the whole site
is/was error free, except the CSS, see below.
If it is only that section of the code that is not valid, it is unlikely
that it is related to your problem with centred text. That's what you get
for hosting with Geocities. My recommendation would be to find a better
host. :-)
Hmmm, this is what BBEdit 6 inserted:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
I take it you're saying it's wrong. Could you copyeditpaste the exact
thing I should have, please.
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/gl...pe_declaration

As I say, it's only the URI that is slightly different, but it may help.
Certainly isn't going to hurt. http://www.geocities.com/brigidregin...urselffree.css
OK. I went there and found some errors, and fixed them, including the
comment code. But now I still get one error:
Your CSS file is laid out a bit all over the place, but I believe there is
an extra } between the .growup and greentext rules.
BTW: I think that should be .greentext (and .bluetext, etc). I don't
remember seeing a <greentext> element in the specs. :-)

I don't think the conclusion you've reached is valid. Netscape is not a
"geek" browser. Neither is Opera, really, it's popular with people with
disabilities.
Feel free to ignore a lot of people. I'll try to accomodate EVERY visitor to
my site. It really doesn't cost a cent more to code that way, so what's the
benefit of losing five percent - likely more - of your potential market?
Besides being lazy and careless?
You already had to drastically recode for the latest release of IE. If the
next version of IE happens to be far more standards-compliant than
the current one, our sites will still work, and yours won't. You're taking a
hell of a big chance, but it's yours to take.

Do not believe the stats, many Opera users tell it to identify as IE6
(file - preferences - network or ctrl-alt-o)

Which is the default setting anyway.

Correction, the stats probably show that 95% of hits claim to be IE. Opera,
as shipped, defaults to identifying itself as IE (due to idiotic sites that
do browser detection for dubious reasons).
IE is known to have bugs in its HTTP code which cause superfluous hits,
inflating the true number of IE's users even more. So nobody will really
know just how many users are using IE.
My mom uses Opera on her computer. I use Konqueror and occasionally Mozilla.
These are all Web browsers. (Personally, I refrain from even calling IE a
Web browser but for the moment I'll entertain those that do.) This is why
we have standards. It is not supposed to matter what Web browser is using,
and for good reason. Requiring specific software to access information was
barely state of the art for 1984, and is far below state of the art in
2004. If you really only care about PCs running Windows and users of IE,
why not just serve a Word document?

How do I center two side by side divs ?
I've been writing css pages for a while but there's one thing tha still

I can center a div with margin auto.
I can place two divs side by side with float.
But I can't center two side by side divs.
If I float them and give them auto margins, the auto margins are ignored.
If I wrap the two floated divs in another div, the two divs have no

I have placed a menu control in a panel control (no ajax) and would like it

displays different items, sometimes just two items, other times many more.
If all menu items are displaying, centering is not a problem but when only
two items are displayed, the menu appears on the left hand...
