Re: FN-FORUM: CSS question (again)

If you mean the #container div, I set it to:-
#container {
min-width: 870px;
max-width:1000px;
margin: 10px auto;
border:1px solid #444444;
background: #ffffcc;
text-align:left;
}

"margin: 10px auto" - I hope this means 10px top and bottom, auto left
right?

Is the "text-align:left;" causing the prob maybe?

In FF, it behaves impeccably :)
