"Ghost" margin, IE is messing me up

Bart van den Burg · Jan 29, 2005

Ok, so here's my page: http://80.60.202.155/TVR new/
Opera and Mozilla are both very friendly, and render the page as i expect
them to. However: IE doesn't! Somehow there is a 2px margin at the right
side of the left layer, and i just cannot figure out where it's coming from.
I'm going absolutely crazy here, and I'm about to throw my computer out of
the window!

Does anyone know what the hell is going on here??

Thx!
Bart

Fixed it now by giving the left menu a -3px margin-right... Although i still
think it's rather weird :/

No, but here's another issue. Firefox 1.0.

Looks about the same with Opera and Konqueror.

You can't have a negative margin.

body {margin:0%;}

No dot or # before body. try that and see if it makes IE happy.
BTW, in your styles area, not the <body> tag.

How can any one person be so consistantly and completely wrong in all
matters.

Negative margins *ARE* allowed. It even says so in the reccomendations:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/box.html#mpb-examples
and to quote the specific wordage:

<quote>
Negative values for margin properties are allowed, but there may be
implementation-specific limits.
</quote>

Message to newbies: Beware. This is merely one example of how diametrically
wrong RtS can be. If he is so wrong with such a fundamental as the value of
the margin property I leave you to draw your own conclusion about the rest
of his blatherings.

Yes you can. Read the spec.

Hi,

thanks for letting me know this

Actually, this is not a
FixeFox/Opera/Konquerer problem, but a font problem in linux... Do you know
what i should change

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 9pt;

into, in order to get the fonts as big as they are in windows?

Thanks!

Actually... I'm surprised by Opera's results (in linux). I'm running 7.54,
and i noticed that all the fonts are serif :?
It clearly states in the CSS: font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
Does anyone know if this is a bug or something?
