"You mention a wide 'border' but what I see is a 750px right hand
'margin' on the image. This is apparent in IE8/7/6. Perhaps you could
describe the effect that you want to achieve or show us a screenshot
of the design?"
I was using a wide margin (not border, sorry) to push the text below the
photo. It worked for IE but not FF.


"I'm always suspicious any time someone says that it works in IE but
not in Firefox. Firefox (and every other major non-IE browser) has
superior CSS rendering capabilities so if it doesn't work in Firefox
there's a good chance that you are doing something wrong."

"I would recommend always making your site work in the non-IE browser
of your choice and *then* do what is required to make IE get in line.
Firefox has some great developer tools like firebug etc. so that is my
choice but you could equally use the latest versions of Opera, Chrome
or Safari. In most cases you will find that if you do things right
your site will render correctly and similarly in all these browsers
and you won't have to change anything."

I have always worked under the pretense that if it works in IE 6 then it
should work in the other browsers. My thinking being that the newer browsers
have superior rendering capabilities and are better at reading CSS. I will
have to rethink my approach.
Thank you for your comments.
