In practise this means I design for which ever version of Mozilla I happen to have installed at the time, although I try and avoid anything Mozilla specific.  Once I have a design I try and get it working in Internet Explorer 5.5, and thanks to help from Robin I also get some feedback on IE 6.<\/p>\n<p>My original design didn&#8217;t work well in IE.  The page contents were being laid out underneath the page subject, rather than next to it as it should have been.  This, it turns out, is due to flaky support for floating boxes and the clear property in IE.  After some considerable messing around I found a work around (only using three instead of four floats) that seems to work in IE 5.5 OK, and the pages still draw fine in Mozilla.<\/p>\n<p>Now I&#8217;ve found that IE is putting random white space between some lines on some pages.  Not most, just two that I&#8217;ve found so far (for example <a href=\"http:\/\/www.owlfish.com\/software\/simpleTAL\/about.html\">About SimpleTAL<\/a>), but it&#8217;s still very irritating.<\/p>\n<p>So I either need everyone in the world to upgrade from Internet Explorer to a browser that can layout and display basic CSS pages, or I need to find yet another work around for a bug that is best described by the phrase &#8220;IE randomly inserts white space in my content when using floats&#8221;.
