*I use Opera for whatever page design and building I do. It's much less forgiving of errors.* *makes a note* I do test sites/pages in Opera, but I wasn't using it to develop. I may switch now, though. An intolerent browser forces better coding. ;-) I believe that IE's box model is off, as well, but I can't remember off the top of my head where it was wrong (I've been concentrating on digital art rather than webdev lately and I'm slightly rusty on obscure facts and figures). I did know about the background-attachment: fixed thing, though. Very annoying. I believe that Firefox is actually CSS2 compatible, but I haven't done any serious testing. I just know that since I installed and have been using it, it's been very fast and very stable. So far I really like it. Attached link has some interesting information on IE's broken box model, FWIW. Apparently, IE7 has that fixed, but fat lot of good it does given how long it's going to take for the average person to dump IE6. People are still using generation 4 browsers, for pity's sake... Still no patch for that latest IE vulnerability/exploit... And no, I don't "hate" Microsoft. I just don't like poorly written software (which, of course, is why I use Poser, d'oh!!! ;-P ). bonni
