Dipping my toes in the css waters on a project I am doing and running into a few problems with Netscape 7.0 and Opera. Where my page layout looks fine in IE 6 it is rather askew in the other browsers. See for yourself -

OK -- the alignment was corrected with some float tweaks -- actually making both columns float left worked out well. The only issue I wrestle with now is netscape is forcing me to define a column height -- frustrating. Any suggestions out there??

I reviewed the page with IE 6, Opera 7 and Mozilla Firefox at 1152x864 and they all look practically identical.

Nice work :)

In reading through my posts I realized I have not provided enough context. The page I am working on works fine in Win IE6 and Opera. The background of the "shell" -- or slate box in the middle -- dose not load entirely on Win NS or any Mac browser unless I define a height value. My hope is not to assign a fixed height value and to let this "shell" expand to fit the length of the text field. Here is are examples:

with a height defined (html) - http://thebakergalleries.com/playground/040324/1.html

with a height defined (css) - http://thebakergalleries.com/playground/040324/040326.css

with no height defined (html) - http://thebakergalleries.com/playground/040324/noheight.html
