What's going on with this extra padding in IE?

http://www.captainsoftheworld.com/test/index.html
http://www.captainsoftheworld.com/te...oadCinemas.css

My problem involves the parent DIV (called #FrontPageListi ngs) and the two
other DIVs it contains (#NowPlaying and #ComingSoon).

I've coloured the inside of the parent DIV light blue (aqua) to better
illustrate what's going on.

Firefox seems to be doing what I'd expect the DIVs to do: the two inner DIVs
butt right up to the outer edges of the parent, with no margins around them
(in other words, there's no padding evident in the parent DIV).

IE6, however, has seen fit to add padding inside all edges of the parent
DIV.

Does anyone know why it's doing that, and what I can do to avoid it?

Cheers!

Let me start off with a brief overview... This part is not really important, just saying what its for... I had been working on a Windows GUI library (DLL) when suddenly my boss told he wanted a static .lib version so he could give a customer a single .exe file for the "free version". Certain parts of my library are required to live inside a DLL.

If we look at a programming language such as C++: When an updated Standard comes out, everyone adopts it and abandons the previous one. It seems though that things aren't so clear-cut in the C community. It would seem that C99 is the most up-to-date Standard, but far more people seem to be working off the C89 Standard. Could someone please explain to me why this is so? --

The "toupper" function takes an int as an argument. That's not too irrational given that a character literal is of type "int" in C. (Although why it isn't of type "char" escapes me... ) The "toupper" function imposes a further constrait in that the value passed to it must be representable as a unsigned char. (If C does not require all character values to be positive, then again, this constrait too escapes me... ) Let's say we have the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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.
