    If you view the page above, the comments display fine in FF but not in IE. I’m not sure why this is. I’ve tried to remove the border, padding etc, but it still shows slightly right-aligned in IE 6. Everything else pretty much displays the same except this part of the page.

    I’ve searched for relevant bits and pieces, and there’s a tonne of hacks releated to floats etc, but I’m not using floats – what do I need to add or change? Is there a specific IE hack I need to use?

    Thanks in advance

  • li indentation ?

    ol.commentlist li

    Those two comments are <li> elements, so maybe try some margin adjustments to the property above ?
    I’m not sure about hacks as such, but play with negative margins too until you can get what you need ?

    Thanks for the reply and the suggestion – what I tried was editing out all padding for listed elements; I then tried several other comment fields that were being used, but I still get that large margin on the left.

    When I made some changes, the margin’s borked even more in IE – it seemed every px change in FF resulted in a large change in IE.

    I’m sure you’r right to say it’s one of the value sin CSS, but I’m no closer to narrowing it down and it’s driving me insane. I know I have to cater for IE browsers, even though I don’t want to, it’s just very frustrating when it does things it’s not supposed to.

    Cheers

    Probably not related to your problem but the HTML and CSS validators find a few coding errors with that page. It might be worth fixing those first.

    HTH,

    If only it was that simple – but I’ve cleaned those errors up, sadly not the cause of the problem.

    I’ve added/removed padding/margin with no success in positioning

    I’ve solved it – yay me, nesting…must remember nesting
