It seems that FF understands what to do
and puts the <div>'s i'm giving to it on
one row (instead of vertically). However,
IE appears not to be equally talented and
fails to acheive the nice layout of FF.

What can i do about it?

Perhaps ask in a CSS NG?

[Or show us your Javascript code?]

If you want inline-table support then use IE 8:

I was informed that since there's no
strictly CSS oriented group on my news
server, i should go with JS, as people
using the one, often tend to be
knowledgeable in the other.

Perhaps a mistake. Sorry.

Oh, that bad? I was expecting IE7- to be more
able than that... Thanks for the answer!

I run a nice little CSS forum; please email me if you'd like a link to
it. I'd rather not have certain people here posting inflammatory
remarks on it (no offense).

Not only perhaps, NG's need to be specific.

comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets
is a good choice.

If your news server does not have that NG,
you could ask themto carry that NG
or use another news server.
