Problems with Explorer 5.5 css margins
I'm using a fluid 3 column css layout and I'm having problems with Explorer 5 and 5.5. Left column 18%, right column 291 pixels.

It's reported that under Explorer 5.x the center column spans the entire width of the page. The CSS is defined at http://members.shaw.ca/jonespm2/snw/nucss2.css.
I've used IEradicator to remove Explorer 6 from my system and install 5.5 and 5, but everything comes up perfect. It seems that the bits and pieces left in your system handle the CSS so there's no way for me to see things broken - aside from re-installing Windows (no thanks!)
I'm using the Explorer 5.x workaround for margins, so I'm not sure what's going wrong.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

You might want to validate the CSS first to make sure there aren't any issues with parsing that are causing other issues as well as missing unit measures and redundant unit measures.

Agreed and done. There remains 2 parsing errors (from the Explorer 5.5 box hack, recommended for the 3 column fluid layout), and one warning for fonts.

Actually, those are errors...
html>body #articlecontent {
margin-left: 18%;
}
}
See? Extra closing }.
You can't nest declarations.
(N.B. For others wondering... http://www.tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html is the box model hack.)

Very true! Ok, I've removed the extra braces.
Thanks!

someone can always see what you can't, lol... semi-colons and closing curly braces!
