quick question, CSS and IE
Any ideas why IE is making the margin twice as big on one of my div boxes?

You can see which on it is, its got the flash in it and the margin to the right is set to 17px which is all fine in FF, Opera, Netscape, Safari but IE thinks its funny to make it twice as thick and it sticks out, I’m sure Microsoft do these things on purpose in their attempt to take over the world!

It's all right I've fixed it, I changed the margin property to padding and it has sorted it.

There is a margin bug in IE because IE is not a full w3c compliant browser.
w3c states that an items total width should include items margin values. IE adds the margin values ON TOP of the items width.

Nice one, that does explain a lot but it doesn't help that most people use IE though.
