- The concept of the box in IE is different that any other browser. Tantek's hack is one of the ways to get around it. Good luck this is a frustrating problem.By amanuel, 3 years 31 weeks ago
- I've been told elsewhere to run it through validator and work through the stylesheet tweaking here and there until it looks nice in FireFox.By johnt, 3 years 32 weeks ago

- This guy lists how IE ignores the official specs (that the other browsers follow) with examples and how to get around them. Not just boxes but almost everything out there.

Web developer is a great
Submitted by lwallenstein on Fri, 2006-08-04 23:35.
Web developer is a great firefox extension, as can outline your elements.. but your page has a lot of deprecated tags and such... many many many divs...
My initial hunch without getting to much into the code is that is is a sizing problem.. something like you say "the total page width is 500, the left colum is 150, the middle is 300 and the right colum is 150" obviously the individuals sizes add up to 600, but the total is 500 so the browser puts the right under the left.
Just a guess based on things that have happened to me before.
