Menu and IE5.0

[Cezar]

I've just done little menu:
http://tinyurl.com/5zgfe

In most browsers menu is viewed OK, but only in IE5.0 falls:
1. height is less about 2-3px,
2. between dotted arrow and caption there is no space.

In the rest of browsers which I tested Opera 7.5x, FF 0.9, IE6, works
fine. Even in IE5.5 is not bad.

What is wrong ?

One more question: shall I will put subtitles on the left side?

Mmmm, div soup.

1. height is less about 2-3px,
IE5 has a lot of box model issues, this is probably one of them.
In this case the 1px border is being included as part of the 20px
height. IE5.5 does the same. As you trigger standards mode IE6 (and
decent browsers) get this right and add the border outside the 20px
height. If this small difference worries you then use the tantek hack
or something similar to feed IE5.x a different height value.
2. between dotted arrow and caption there is no space.
IE5 doesn't support padding on inline elements.
In the rest of browsers which I tested Opera 7.5x, FF 0.9, IE6, works
fine.
Have you tried it with a larger than normal font size? The text spills
out of the box. Not fine.

You're expecting a five and half year old browser to display your page
the same as browsers that are much more recent (okay, so IE6 isn't a
lot more recent but it's still only three years old compared to five
and half years old).
One more question: shall I will put subtitles on the left side?

Sorry, could you rephrase that.

I wouldn't panic too much about it. IE 5.0 came out 6 years ago. Its user
base is small and rapidly shrinking.

IE5.0 doesn't support padding on inline elements, IE5.5 does.

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear.
