...Should I care ? I mean, i tried...I really tried...but it seems that i just can't please all browsers when it comes to my blog site. The layout formatting is mostly done in CSS but it seems that not all browsers obide the rules when it comes to CSS paddings and margins. Some browsers think the margins and padding values are a part of the given width, some see it as a value that should be added to the width.

It's driving me nuts....i could do multiple css files for each browser but is it really worth it ? and shouldn't all browsers display CSS formatting the same way simply out of principle ?

IE is the only browser that gets margins and padding wrong. You could use the box model hack to fix that.

thanks for the tip man. I got it under control now.
I still don't understand why MS doesn't play by the w3c rules. I would think once a standard has established itself (LIKE CSS!!), software developers would be keen to obide by its rules simply to remain compatible. :-/
Not that i own a mac myself but I think it's kinda selfish to assume and state "everyone is using MS IE anyway so let's make up our own rules in IE"
